Bari

The capital of Puglia on Italy's Adriatic coast, Bari is known for the maze-like old town of Bari Vecchia and the Basilica of Saint Nicholas, which houses relics associated with Santa Claus. Its waterfront and historic streets offer a taste of southern Italy, and it is also a gateway to Alberobello.
