"The regional capital of Puglia is often overlooked because it's scruffy and rough around the edges. Those who venture here will find a thriving street food scene and fascinating historic center where the nonne of bari sit on tables outside making pasta by hand.
Just a short walk from Piazza San Nicola are Bari's other major architectural attractions: the Cattedrale di San Sabino, also built in a late 12th century Romanesque style by the Normans, and the Castello Svevo, Emperor Frederick II's mighty fortress.
Bari boasts a long seafront promenade which leads from Bari Vecchia to the more modern shopping district, built on an octagonal plan in the early 19th century by Joachim Murat, Napoleon's brother-in-law.
The vintage market is held the first sunday of the month in Piazza del Ferrarese"

"I like to stay near the old part of Bari. There are a couple of nice larger hotels. Since I usually travel with my groups, I tend to look for those sort of places to stay.
But now there are also Air B/B's as well. Beware, the neighborhood with the no traffic streets are packed with people walking around at night and outdoor dining."
