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

Family-friendly places like Basilica San Nicola and Grotte di Castellana will thrill your kids. Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Vignanotica Beach and Spiaggia del Pizzomunno. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Bari: Taranto (Jonian Dolphin Conservation, Ponte Girevole, &more), Sassi di Matera (in Matera) and Castel del Monte (in Andria). There's still lots to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Cattedrale di Trani, go for a walk through Vieste Promenade, don't miss a visit to Centro Storico di Polignano a Mare, and get to know the resident critters at Zoosafari.
