Bari is the enchanting Apulian capital and in recent years it had a real revival. Its center, surrounded by a suggestive atmosphere, has infinite beauties from which to be enchanted.
During a walk in Bari, the historic center shows its incredible fascination: the most important monuments of the city, such as religious and civil buildings, the Norman Swabian Castle and green areas, blend surprisingly with the colors of the sea and blue sky, making every walk a wonderful tourist opportunity. Very close to the Castle there is via Arcobasso: one of the most famous places in Bari, it's the suggestive via delle orecchiette! Every day, right here, some ladies give life to a real magic, preparing by hand the typical Bari orecchiette. Also among the most valuable buildings there are the Aqueduct palace, Palazzo Mincuzzi, Palazzo Fizzarotti and Palazzo De Gemmis.
Like every big city worthy of its name, Bari offers the best you could wish for in the field of new trends. From the historic center to the most picturesque neighborhoods of the city, this is an itinerary among the boutiques of the Apulian capital that should not be missed.
Via Sparano, a pedestrian area in the center, considered one of the main luxury streets and a real paradise for who love to make their purchases in a relaxed atmosphere, away from the chaos and noise of city traffic but, at the time same, a short walk from the city center. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Hermès and Trussardi are just some of the highend brands that can be found in this area. Culpado and Cima are among the multi-brand boutiques not to be missed.
Corso Cavour is another of the shopping streets: here there are Emporio Armani and multi-brand boutiques like Banana Benz.
What to say? The Apulian capital really offers everything. If you want a wide range of the latest trends of the moment, you can't miss a trip to via Nicola Putignani, to the famous boutiques Mimma Ninni and Michi D’Amato, or to via Dante Alighieri at Luciana Boutique.
Finally, around the historic center you can find countless shops, where you can buy truly unique Made in Italy specimens. In the variegated panorama of the Bari handicraft, a very important role is covered by the art of weaving: pillow lace and embroidery are real artistic treasures.
