Bari Walking Tour
Bari, Italy
Why Walk Bari
Bari's old town — Bari Vecchia — occupies a small peninsula, its tight maze of alleys once designed to confuse invaders. At its heart, the Basilica di San Nicola holds the relics of St. Nicholas, making it a major pilgrimage site for both Catholic and Orthodox Christians. The 19th-century new town, laid out on a Napoleonic grid, contrasts with wide boulevards and elegant theaters.
