Bari: Guided Tour of the Old Town with Street Food

Meeting point in Bari Vecchia. Meet your guide and group fellows at our headquarters in Strada Vallisa 81 in Bari Vecchia. 

Piazza del Ferrarese. Start your guided tour from the square at the border of the medieval district and one of the Bari ports. From here, you will walk up to Piazza Mercantile.

Piazza Mercantile. Once in the heart of Bari's "dolce vita", you will enter the Nicolaian district, where the majestic Basilica of San Nicola stands.

Basilica San Nicola. Enjoy the visit to the marvelous Basilic of San Nicola - an important pilgrimage site, especially following the fall of communist regimes.

Cattedrale San Sabino. Our next stop is the monumental Cathedral of San Sabino, where you can admire the highest bell tower in Bari. The historic "Marnarid" grocery store - active since 1866 - is another pit stop near the Cathedral that will let you step back in time.

Norman-Swabian Castle. Afterward, the walk takes you to the impressive Norman-Swabian Castle, a medieval fortress that offers a fascinating look into history, for a panoramic visit.

Strada delle Orecchiette. Just in front of the Castle, crossing the arch named "Strada Arco Basso", you will enter the most well-known streets in Bari. Here, you will observe the authentic life bustling through the alleys, while the smiling and experienced women are creating homemade traditional pasta named "orecchiette".

Tasting pit stop. Treat yourself to the traditional "focaccia" that will be offered to you at the end of the tour. If the focaccia is not available for any reason, you will be pampered with the homemade gelato.
