Shopping in Bari is a riot of lights, colours, street artists, music and lots of joy, all to be experienced!
Under the tree in Piazza del Ferrarese
Every year there is always a tree to decorate the beautiful Piazza del Ferrarese , one of the main entrances to the historic center of Bari . How can you not take a nice souvenir photo in this elegant location? Here too there is no shortage of illuminations , with enchanting colored projections on the ancient buildings of old Bari that surround the square and which illuminate the eyes of adults and children.
Discovering the Christmas markets
Near Piazza del Ferrarese , precisely on Via Venezia (the slope that leads to the wall) , there are the characteristic Christmas markets of old Bari where you will find handcrafted works, toys, nativity scenes and objects of every kind and shape, all strictly in Christmas theme. An Christmas market to enjoy among the smell of sgagliozze and roasted chestnuts.
Among the lights of old Bari
And how can we not include, among other things, the precious lights of old Bari ? With the arrival of Christmas, the ancient village of the city becomes even warmer thanks to hundreds of light bulbs that illuminate the ancient stone of Bari . A suggestive atmosphere that will accompany you along all the alleys of the historic center, perhaps with a warm piece of focaccia or a taste of Baresi's orecchiette .
Christmas from the Bari seafront
What happens to the longest seafront in Italy and Europe if you add beautiful lights and a giant Christmas tree ? Think of the Bari skyline with these ingredients to imagine the location that awaits you during the Christmas holidays .
The scent of the sea, which accompanies this city throughout the year, in December becomes the ideal setting for a truly overwhelming experience.
