I arrive in Bari airport at 17.50 on a Saturday do I have enough time to get to the train station for a train leaving at 19.08.

We'll be docking at the cruise pier on Sunday, April 20th. We are desirous of renting a car to get to Alberbello and view the trulli edifices. So far, it appears that the downtown rental car offices are closed on Sunday. We are slated to dock at 10 am and must be back on board by 2:30. The airport is North of Bari and we need to go South. Can't imagine that we'd have time to go the opposite direction to get a car and then have to do the same thing upon return. Does anyone know of a place to rent a car on a Sunday other than at the airport? Or, is the frequent, reliable public transportation we could take to get to Albobello from the pier? Thanks for the hope.

Referencing the Italy link at the URL above, which of these TV stations are at or near Bari? Thanks!

I am visiting Bari from March 11th to 18th(tickets already purchased) and did not do my research before choosing these dates. I had my heart set on visiting Dubrovnik for a few days, but have come to find that the only ferry that runs in the Winter only runs on Wednesdays, which makes this virtually impossible.

Are there any other options for travel to Dubrovnik that runs more often in March? Or are there any other cities across the Adriatic to visit where travel from Bari is more realistic in this time frame?

Any advice is much appreciated...Thanks!

Hi,

I will be spending 2 nights in Bari in February.

1) Do you know of any centrally located hostel / room that doesnt cost too much for one person?
2) What are the must-sees in Bari?
3) Are there any possible half-day trips out of Bari? I read about Matera, how far is that and how much would it cost?
4) There doesnt seem to be alot of information on the Internet about Bari, any good sites to recommend?

Thanks in advance.

I am making (mental) long range plans to visit Bari next September and will be traveling from the USA (Knoxville, TN). How are the plane fares during this time from the USA?

I am a single girl arriving in Bari on the 14th...I will not get to my hotel till about 10 30 pm...is there anywhere that I can get a late night pizza or more at this time ? It is my first visit to Italy in 15 years and I will be very dissapointed if I cannot eat on my first night !

I will also stay the next night and would like a recommendation for the best food in Bali (nothing touristy please) family trattoria with exceptional cooking !!
I am renting my car on the Sunday (hoping the traffic will be easier to negotiate) I am going down to Polignano a mare..does anyone know of a great Sunday lunch venue? Will I have to reserve?
I do speak Italian (or at least I did 15 years ago !!)..I have not booked my hotels yet iether...any recomendation for good B & Bs or 3 star hotels in Central Bari where I can walk to the historic center on saturday would be appreciated.. Is there a market on Saturdays?

Thankyou..mille grazie...

We are planning to arrive in Bari via train and would like to rent a car. Does anyone know if there are nearby car rentals? For example, Avis' website lists the following locations in Bari, and I'm not sure if any are near the train station: Bari Amendola, or Via L Zuppetta, or Via Cardinale A. Ciasca. Or is it easier to go from the train to the airport and pick up a car there?

Hello
Does anybody know how I could get from Sorrento to Bari? Am staying in Sorrento for a few days and then heading to Dubrovnik via ferry.
Thanks

Hi guys, I'm planning on stopping over in Bari on my way from Dubrovnik to Corfu. The only thing is that my ferry from Croatia arrives in early morning, and the next ferry is not until 10pm, which means I have to hang around in Bari during the day. I'm really concerned about how safe Bari will be, or how I might occupy myself during the day (WITH LUGGAGE!) - are my fears unfounded???!?

Are the natives friendly to visiting soccer fans ?

Would it be possible to purchase tickets for the game on Wednesday ? Is there a possibility there could be tickets made available to Scotland fans on the day of the game ?

I'm coming over to Bari for the Scotland game on the 28th of March with a few friends. Unfortunately we're only arriving on the morning of the match and may only spend one day in town. However I'm quite keen to arrange a game of football against some locals. We can get 5 or possibly 7 people together, and we're all between 30 and 35 so a little past our prime!

Would anyone be interested in having a mini Italy v Scotland game?

Cheers,

Andy

Vengo a Bari per il gioco di Scozia sul 28 di marzo con pochi amici. Sfortunatamente arriviamo soltanto sulla mattina del fiammifero e possiamo spendere soltanto un giorno in cittą. Comunque sono abbastanza aguzzo per disporre un gioco di football contro alcuni locale. Possiamo prendere 5 o forse 7 persone insieme, e siamo tutto il tra 30 e 35 cosķ un piccolo passato il nostro di prima qualitą!

Nessuno sarebbe interessato in avendo un poco l'Italia v il gioco di Scozia?

Ciao,

Andy

PS Could the Italian Federation have made this game more difficult to attend, or do they merely not want we Scots to turn up?

Coming over for the Scotland Italy game and we are thinking about hiring a car and driving from Rome to Bari on the wednesday and back to rome on the thursday - can anyone advise me how difficult a car journey it would be for someone who has never driven in europe before? also how long the trip would take? the train would cost us 76 euro's each return and there is 4 of us and it would be much cheaper to hire a car and drive - then we could spend our saving on a few more bottles of peroni!!!!! thanks for any help

I am thinking about moving to Italy to teach English as a second language, and am considering Bari. I have visited Italy several times, but have not been to the south. If anyone has been there or lives there, your insight is greatly appreciated.

What is the best transportion from the cruise ship pier at Bari to Alberobello and back? We have only about 4 hours total, but want to see the Trulli. How should we arrange transportation?

Our cruise ship stops in Bari for just a few hours. Would it work to hire a driver to take us to Albergobello to see the conical houses there? What's the best way to find a reputable driver who can meet us at or near the pier? How long would the round trip drive to Albergobello require?

I would like to stay in Bari for 5-7 days. Is there any cheap but clean lodging anybody can recommend? Oh...and cheap flights from Rome to Bari as well. Thaanks.

I have a short amount of time to get from Bari airport to Bari ferry port to catch a ferry to Dubrovnik. Does anyone know roughly how long it takes to get between the two?
