Posted: May 13, 2025Experienced: March, 2023I just got back from a solo trip to Bari, and I didn't have a single unpleasant experience, everyone was very helpful and friendly. I walked around the city at night too, and I felt very safe.
Posted: November 1, 2024I just simply fell in love with this city. Many people don’t stay here long, because they use it as a stop for their trip around Puglia. But let me tell you, I felt so at home. And although Bari is known as a rather dangerous city I never felt unsafe, I often walked home alone in the middle of the night (I stayed in the city center, just fyi)I could probably write a full food guide, but you must try Frulez, and Panzerotti & Focaccia at Magda. And so many cute vintage shops, Piattini D’avanguardia, Eroi, Prinz Zaum etc etc. Also: If you’re there in November/December: Check out the Bari International Gender Film Festival!<3
Posted: July 17, 2024Our stay in Bari is pretty short as we expect to take the ferry soon to Greece but it was overall a good experience :) The beach was nice, the people were welcoming and the coffee great ! I really appreciated the surroundings also.
Posted: June 10, 2024Discovering the area of Puglia was a great experience. Extremely recommended for solo travellers. Food is amazing and people are exceptional. I think my trip was 50% tourist and 50% local. It was one of the best experiences in Italy.

I often experience catcalling when going out alone or with female friends. Usually doesn’t go more than that. Very late in the night it can be dangerous to be alone, I fear drunk men. But in crowded places it’s usually not a problem. The police is always around on weekends or crowded evenings. Anyway I always feel like not bringing very expensive stuff around if I’m going/ coming back alone from a place to where I live. Often when parking there are annoying people asking for money to ‘control your car’.
