A Culinary Adventure in Bari’s Heart

As the sun rises over Bari on October 26th, the city awakens to a day of exploration and indulgence. The weather is perfect for a leisurely stroll, with temperatures ranging from a cool 57.1°F in the morning to a warm 75.1°F in the afternoon.

It’s the ideal setting for Bari’s Street Food Tour, a journey through the flavors and history of this enchanting city.

Begin your day at 11:00 AM with a guided tour that takes you through the narrow streets and hidden alleys of Bari Vecchia. As you wander through the historic heart of the city, you’ll discover the Basilica San Nicola, a significant pilgrimage site, and the Cattedrale di San Sabino, where the relics of Saint Sabinus are housed. The tour is not just about history; it’s a feast for the senses. Taste local delicacies like focaccia, panzerotti, and sgagliozze, paired with a glass of wine. The experience is a delightful blend of culture, art, and gastronomy.

Engaging 5-star tour - The first stop of the tour is Piazza del Ferrarese, the beating heart of Bari Vecchia. From here, Annarita accompanied us through the alleys of the old town, making us feel as if we were walking back in time. A perfect mix of historical anecdotes, local legends, and modern curiosities that keep you glued to every word. Very good food. (Reviewed on 2024-08-15)
