Bari Port Shuttles

Steeped in the traditions of Old Italy, the Adriatic coastal city of Bari is one that brings millions across the globe. An especially popular arrival point is the Crociere Cruise Terminal, located on the north end of downtown and offering instant access to the scenically narrow alleyways of old ruins and churches between two main roads; Corso Antonio de Tullio and Lungomare Imperatore Augusto. With most of the city offering pedestrian friendly walkways, public transportation is limited to a ferry terminal just beside the cruise port, and two train lines that offer above and below-ground transfers to western neighborhood San Paolo and the famed ‘City of Olives’, Bitonto. See much more with a private rental at hand, looking forward to casual glimpses of the backdrop through simple sedans, spacious SUVs or jumbo chartered buses perfect for getting an intimate view, or go with a meet-and-greet service for the chance to enjoy convenient drop offs ranging from local personal drivers who know the coolest hidden beaches to limousine drivers offering lavish arrivals to coastline restaurants.

Ideal ways to get to know the city include an array of unique landmarks close to the coastline, nearby landmarks ranging from the archaic Ruins of Santa Maria del Buonconsiglio, to the 11th-century walls of the Basilica San Nicola. A land of historic churches, other stoic spaces to walk through include the Basilica Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Sabino, while the towering Castello Normanno-Svevo offers fortified walls paired with narrow alleyway balconies vibrant residents. End the evening quiet with an artful afternoon at the Margherita Theatre, enjoying a look at world-class Van Gogh exhibits as well as the scenic boats docked at Circolo Della Vela. For something away from the chirp of the city and truly immersive, drive just a few miles west to reach the Palazzo Fizzarotti, a grand palace home to an awe-inspiring architecture with elegant artworks ingrained into the walls. A fantastic way to spend the night somewhere close is through restaurants near the port, whether it be the vibrant seafood at Osteria Al Gambero or through the echoey Italian cafe tables at Osteria Le Arpie.
