The Bari Vecchia it's a very nice place to discover and get lost in. The beautiful walks in here are always stunning. White buildings, narrow streets..

Authentic mediterranean identity and not polluted by mass tourism
Sep 2019
The old town has been completely renewed and now it's a real bombonniere. Everything has been made respecting the ancient and strong identity of the genuine local people that still lives there symbiotically with tourists.

BEAUTIFUL DURING DAY OR NIGHT
Feb 2020
Did 3 different tours around the old town and on each occasion always found a new street or a house.
The old town has been well maintained and is kept clean at any time of the day or night.
Most of the narrow streets are well iluminated and many citizens do leave in some of those historical houses.

Narrow windy streets and alleyways
Feb 2020 • Couples
Reminds me a bit of Naples without the noise and commotion. Mostly closed to vehicles. Worth a visit.

Beautiful Old Town
Jan 2020
Beautiful buildings made in white stone, narrow streets, amazing smell of the Italian food being cooked, open doors covered only by the thin curtains, clothes hanging out to dry... so authentic, so Italian. It's simply awesome just to wonder around the streets.

Read and imagine
Jan 2020 • Couples
After eating at Mastro Ciccio, walk to your left and when you reach the water make your way going up and let yourself be driven by curiosity, and interest. If you’ve read a short simple guide - any of the many you can find at information points or google - you can imagine life in Old Town and enjoy simple, white lines and surfaces that make up churches, houses and piazzas. Don’t forget walking modern Bari. You’ll love both.

Exceeded expectations

When visiting Puglia we had an unexpected overnight stop in Bari... but I wished it had been longer. What a beautiful little city. Clean and characteristic. Loved watching all the donnas making fresh pasta in the streets

Authentic Old Town
Oct 2019
I was really looking forward to visitng Citta Vecchia Bari as a day trip from Monopoli after reading how it is still authentic and old world. Unfortunately we did not find any ladies making orecchiette, although we did find the street. Must have been an 'off' day. The Citta Vecchia was somewhat more authentic in feel than some other old towns city center. However there were still the ocassional magnet store, etc (who actually buys those things??). It was a short pleasant walk from the train station. Nice views along the water, nice churches to pop into. We spent about 2-3 hours total, which was enough for us to get a good feel of this area of Bari.

Hi! We will be spending only one night in Bari. Arriving around lunch time on a Sunday and leaving on Monday to go to Rome. We will be driving, and staying at the old town. We know we can't park in the old town and were told the street around it is free parking. I see there are some garages in the area, does anyone know if parking is always per hour, or if they have a over night fee? I have been searching and not able to get an answer for that. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

We are thinking of spending Sunday strolling around Bari città vecchia, is it a good idea or it's better to do so during a normal week day

I am driving from foggia and would like to visit the woman making the pasta.
1. Do they make it on Saturday?
2. Is there a place close to park my car and walk over?
Or is it too difficult to get to with a vehicle?
Grazie!

You can leave your car on the lungomare and walk to the bari vecchia. There are few houses with old ladies making pasta but you may need to make couple of circles on these streets to find one of them. They usually do it in the morning about 10-11am on saturdays too.
bonjour j'aimerai savoir s'il est utile de louer une voiture pour visiter Bari

Where can I get info on the bus lines/routes that connect the train station with the old city? I am trying to find a B&B that is sensibly near a bus stop so I can easily get to/from the station for day trips.

DAVE here again: It appears that there is a bus #20 that connects the port with the train station. Does it stop elsewhere? Just trying to get a B&B with easy bus access to the station as I plan to be making several day trips with my wife over 5-6 days and she doesn't care for long walks. THANKS
