Hotels Bari, Guesthouses Bari and Residences Bari

Bari, the second largest city in the "land of the midday sun" and the regional capital of Apulia, became a centre of maritime significance thanks to the Port around which the ancient Byzantine settlement developed. The fascinating old town, whose narrow medieval streets are scattered with artistic treasures and courts, is dramatically offset by the modern part of the city, where museums, universities and innovative architectures make Bari an highly appreciated city.

The dazzling range of accommodation and entertainment options Bari offers is able to suit even the most demanding requirements. 3- and 4-star hotels in Bari provide high-quality accommodation just in the heart of the old town. Modern hotels situated along the sea front overlook the charming avenue which connects the new harbour to the old one. Business travellers can take advantage of hotels situated near the railway station or cheap guesthouses situated near the so-called Fiera del Levante.

The popular quarter of Fiera del Levante, which every year in September hosts a great exhibition, attracts large numbers of visitors. The spectacular festival of St. Nicola is popular as well, a religious commemoration which gathers visitors from all over the world on 7th and 8th May.
The patron saint of the city is celebrated by the ancient Basilica of St. Nicola, one of Apulia's first great Norman churches which is connected with the majestic and sumptuos Cathedral through a picturesque medieval lane. The walk across the Old Town then leads to the Castle, adapted by Frederick II of Swabia over a former Norman architecture, and ends along the sea fronts Augusto and Nazario Sauro. Clubs, theatres and museums are situated in the more modern areas, such as Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Piazza Massari and Piazza della Libertà.
