🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Bari Centrale station → Bed & Breakfast La Casa Particular (via Nicolò Putignani stop of via Piccinni)
💡 Use this for the last leg if you're loaded with bags. Get a 90-minute ticket (€1) or a day pass (€3.50) from the tabacchi at the station. Validate it in the bus machine – fines are steep.
Bari Centrale bus stop (Piazza Aldo Moro) → Best Western Executive Business Hotel (Via Zara / Via Capruzzi stop)
💡 Validate your ticket in the machine on board. This bus runs along Via Capruzzi and drops you a 2-minute walk from the hotel door. Buy a pack of 10 tickets at a tabacchi to save time.
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) → Bed & Breakfast La Casa Particular (via Nicolò Putignani)
💡 Agree on price before getting in or use the official white taxis with a meter. From the airport, expect around €20-25 to the city centre; extra for luggage or late-night.
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) → Best Western Executive Business Hotel
💡 Book through the official airport taxi stand to avoid overcharging. The hotel is on Via Zara, near the central station, so drivers know it well.
Bari Airport (BRI) → Bari Centrale
💡 The train station is right at the airport – look for the 'Ferrovie Sud-Est' platform. Only runs to Bari Centrale, not Murat. From there, it's a 15-min walk east to the B&B.
Bari Airport (BRI) → Bari Centrale train station
💡 Buy ticket at the airport tabacchi or vending machine – cheaper than on board. From Bari Centrale, it's a 10-min walk to the B&B via Via Sparano.
