Bari

Bari

Bari, the vibrant capital of Apulia, is a fascinating destination for those who want to experience the charm of the South, historic old towns, and the deep blue sea on their convertible tour in Italy. The city combines Italian joie de vivre with centuries-old history and an impressive coastal landscape, perfectly suited for relaxed drives in a convertible. Bari is located right on the Adriatic coast and offers numerous opportunities for convertible drivers to explore the surroundings – from ancient coastal roads to winding paths through olive groves and vineyards.

Coastal roads and convertible routes around Bari

A convertible tour around Bari is an experience for all senses. The drive along the Strada Statale 16, which stretches southward from Bari, offers breathtaking views of the sea and passes through small coastal towns like Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. These picturesque towns are close to the city and are perfect for short stops. Here you can enjoy the breeze, relax in a café with a sea view, or take a dip in the crystal-clear water.

Even inland from Bari, beautiful convertible routes await. A popular convertible route leads through the Valle d'Itria with its famous Trulli houses. The winding roads, surrounded by vineyards, stone walls, and olive trees, make the region a paradise for convertible drivers. Those heading further south can reach Lecce or Matera on a longer convertible road trip – both worthwhile destinations for a multi-day convertible journey through Apulia.

Bari – City of Culture and the Sea

In Bari itself, you can expect a mix of history and Mediterranean flair. The old town, Bari Vecchia, is particularly worth seeing, with its narrow streets, historic churches, and small trattorias where you can enjoy fresh pasta and freshly caught fish. The Basilica of San Nicola, the Castello Normanno-Svevo, and the elegant promenade Lungomare Nazario Sauro are among the most famous attractions.

In the evenings, Bari comes to life – in the alleys, squares, and at the harbor. Those who love culture and Dolce Vita will quickly feel at home here. Combined with a drive along the Apulian coast, Bari is the ideal starting point for an exciting and unforgettable convertible tour in Italy.
