The city of Bari, with a seafront of more than 10km (the longest in Italy), extends itself along the Adriatic sea coast. It is known for the amazing historical centre, a city within the city, characterized by narrow alleys, courtyards, historical places, romanesque monuments, curches, bars and restaurants where everyone can taste the amazing local cuisine based on seafood and superb wine.
