The Port of Bari is a bustling gateway to the Adriatic, serving as one of southern Italy's most important maritime hubs. Its modern terminals handle ferries to Greece, Croatia, Albania, and Montenegro, as well as cruise ships. The port area is divided into the old port (Porto Vecchio) and the new commercial port. Visitors can stroll along the lungomare (seafront promenade) that stretches from the port to the historic center, enjoying sea breezes and views of fishing boats and yachts. The port's proximity to Bari's old town makes it easy to combine a walk with visits to nearby attractions like the Basilica of San Nicola. At sunset, the waterfront becomes a lively spot for locals and tourists alike, with benches, bars, and gelaterias lining the way.
