Bari, the capital of Apulia, was founded by the Greeks in the 8th century BC and has a rich history of Byzantine, Norman, and Baroque influences. The city's historic centre is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways, with many preserved medieval and Renaissance buildings, including the stunning Bari Cathedral. Today, Bari is a thriving cultural hub, with a vibrant arts scene and a strong sense of community. The city's iconic 'Bari Vecchia' district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing its well-preserved historic architecture and stunning sea views.

💡 Head to Strada delle Orecchiette around 11am for the best pasta-making action. Avoid the main drag at siesta (1-4pm) when shops close.
