Bari is one of the most important centers of Southern Italy, especially in terms of tourism. Every year thousands of tourists choose it as a destination thanks to its similarity to the most popular destinations in Greece and Croatia, but taking advantage of the very low prices and its pristine authentic reality. In fact you can live a long stay in the best way, especially reading our tips!
Choose the accommodation wisely
Bari is the perfect city to avoid expensive hotels that although they may have a better view are not the most convenient choice. This is because the hotels certainly offer more convenient services, but they do pay dearly. It is more convenient to rely on sites like Airbnb or Booking, or even rent apartments for at least 30 days.
On average you can spend 40€ per night, but there are some solutions that allow a fixed price for a longer period. In this way it is also possible to live in tradition.
Buy the right food!
In Bari the options for choosing good food are practically endless. Not only is Bari a city that makes street food its strength, but it is also famous for its seafood and for the fresh fish that is sold every day in the markets. In fact, it makes no sense to shop in expensive chains: just go to the village market to be able to buy at an honest price all the specialties of Puglia. In addition, rather than choosing tourist restaurants in the center, it is better to go into the most hidden places to find real local that sell tasty and genuine specialties at bargain prices. All this can be found in the "old town", not far from the center of Bari.
Free activities
In Bari there are cities on every street corner; beautiful attractions and breathtaking natural landscapes. All this for free. It is not necessary to spend money to enjoy the Apulian culture, since most of the activities can be carried out in the middle of the streets and especially in the middle of the sea.
The abundance of free beaches means that Bari is still a paradise untouched by the beaches that would otherwise be paid.
Not only that, in Bari you can find very useful structures completely free! On the free beaches you can also find toilets and showers, all organized to let the beach is precisely free. Drinking water is also easy thanks to the numerous fountains throughout the city at no cost.
