Driving in Bari
Driving in Bari is generally straightforward, thanks to the modern road network and clear signage. However, the city’s narrow streets and busy traffic can be challenging, especially during peak hours. Parking in the historic centre can also be limited, so it’s worth familiarising yourself with the parking options before you go. Many areas near popular attractions offer underground parking or paid street parking, which is convenient for visitors.
Once you leave the city, the roads open up to a whole new world of exploration. Drive along the coast for picturesque views of the Adriatic Sea, or venture inland to discover the rolling hills, vineyards, and ancient olive trees that make Apulia so unique. The region is known for its rural charm, and you can easily access scenic spots such as the Trulli villages of Alberobello or the UNESCO-listed Matera, famous for its cave dwellings.

The scenery around Bari is truly exceptional and some of the most enchanting in the whole of Italy wih mix of jaw-dropping coastal views, olive groves, and medieval towns perched on hillsides. The region’s natural beauty is best experienced from the road, with many scenic routes offering panoramic vistas. One of the most rewarding drives is the coastal route that connects Bari to Polignano a Mare, a charming cliffside town with crystal-clear waters and dramatic views. Alternatively, take a drive inland to visit the historic town of Matera, known for its ancient cave dwellings and winding streets, or explore the rural heartland of Apulia with its UNESCO-listed Trulli houses, traditional stone farmhouses, and endless olive groves. Wherever you go, the stunning scenery will make the journey as memorable as the destination itself.
