What you can expect

Discover the San Nicola District
Embark on a captivating guided walk through Bari Vecchia, uncovering the treasures of the medieval San Nicola District. Perched on a peninsula, this historic quarter boasts 29 churches, some no longer active, and offers a glimpse into Bari’s rich heritage. Wander through its hidden alleys and uncover centuries-old stories that showcase the authentic soul of the city, away from typical tourist paths.

From Ex Market Square to the Basilica of San Nicola
The journey begins at Piazza Ferrarese, once the bustling old fish market, and continues to Piazza Mercantile, a vibrant hub of Bari’s “dolce vita.” From there, we delve into the Nicolaian district, home to the awe-inspiring Basilica of San Nicola. This architectural gem, revered by Christians of various denominations, symbolises unity and tolerance. Over time, it has become a significant pilgrimage site, especially post-communist era, drawing visitors from around the globe.

Step Back into History
The tour progresses to the Cathedral of San Sabino, where its magnificent exterior invites admiration. Next, we explore the Norman-Swabian Castle, a majestic medieval fortress that narrates Bari's storied past. A stop at the historic Marnarid shop, established in 1866, provides a sensory journey into the city’s culinary and cultural traditions, allowing visitors to savour the essence of Bari’s bygone era.

Strada delle Orecchiette: A Taste of Local Tradition
Among the most iconic highlights is Arco Basso Street, affectionately called Strada delle Orecchiette. Here, you’ll meet local women crafting fresh orecchiette pasta by hand, a cherished tradition passed down through generations. This charming locale has even graced global advertising campaigns for brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Adidas.

A Delightful Finale
The tour concludes with a flavourful treat—savouring the famed focaccia barese or relishing artisanal ice cream from one of Bari’s historic bakeries. This sweet ending ensures your visit to Bari is unforgettable, leaving you with cherished memories of this extraordinary city.
