8 days in Bari Itinerary

Puglia's capital city, Bari, is a growing metropolis of industry and one of the country's most important commercial ports.

Museum-lovers will appreciate La Cantina Frrud - Museo del Vino and Museo Laboratorio della Civilta Contadina. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Castello Normanno Svevo and Church of Santa Maria de Idris. Venture out of the city with trips to Matera (Piazza San Pietro Caveoso, Casa Cisterna Sotterranea, &more), Centro Storico (in Trani) and Cattedrale di Conversano (in Conversano). The adventure continues: admire the landmark architecture of Il Succorpo della Cattedrale di Bari, pause for some serene contemplation at Cattedrale Maria SS. Assunta, take in the spiritual surroundings of Cattedrale di Bari, and get to know the fascinating history of Lungomare e Murat.
