Bari is the capital of the Italian region of Puglia. The city is located directly on the sea and is an ideal starting point for wonderful excursions in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The main attraction is Bari’s old town, which lies on a peninsula. Here you can wander for hours through the narrow and winding streets and will always discover something new. In the old town you will also find numerous B&Bs or small holiday flats where you can stay in “typical” Italian style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The long waterfront promenade is also beautiful and invites you to take a stroll, especially in the evening hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bari is by the sea, so a walk by the sea along Bari's seafront promenade is simply part of a stay in the city.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Lungomare of Bari →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> In the north of the city, on a peninsula, lies the old town of Bari.
