Q: Is Bari Old Town (Bari Vecchia) walkable, or should I use transport?

It is entirely pedestrianized. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the streets are narrow, cobblestoned, and best explored on foot.

Q: Where is the best place to see the traditional 'Orecchiette' ladies making pasta?

Head to Via dell'Arco Basso. You will see local women sitting outside their homes hand-rolling pasta on wooden boards.

Q: What is the best way to reach the Old Town from Bari Centrale station?

Take a short walk (about 10-15 mins) down Via Sparano, the main shopping street, which leads directly to the Old Town entrance.

Q: Are there any specific dress codes for visiting Basilica di San Nicola?

Yes. As a sacred site, ensure shoulders and knees are covered. Avoid overly revealing clothing when entering the Basilica.

Q: When is the best time to visit to avoid the heavy crowds in the narrow alleys?

Visit early in the morning or during the late afternoon. Avoid midday when many locals take a siesta and shops close.

Q: Is it safe to walk through Bari Vecchia late at night?

Yes, it is generally safe and lively, but stay in well-lit areas and keep an eye on your belongings in crowded spots.
