The Basilica di San Nicola holds relics of St. Nicholas in its crypt, drawing Orthodox and Catholic pilgrims. The Castello Svevo, a Norman-Swabian fortress, sits at the edge of the old quarter. The port is about a 20-minute walk from the old town, or you can take a shuttle. The wider Murattiano district has proper shopping along Via Sparano and the evening passeggiata along the seafront. Day trips from here go to Polignano a Mare, a cliff-top town with a famous swimming cove, or Alberobello, where the cone-roofed trulli houses are a UNESCO site. For food, orecchiette with cime di rapa is the local dish, and the Mercato del Pesce sells the morning's catch directly from fishermen. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** EUR (Euro) - **Language:** Italian - **Timezone:** Europe/Rome (UTC+1) - **Tipping:** Service often included; €1-2 for good service ## Location Coordinates: 41.1410, 16.8557 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Bari/@41.14103,16.85565,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Bari&ll=41.14103,16.85565&z=13) ## Things to Do in Bari Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~9h port call.
