Where is the Bari cruise port?
Cruise ships use the Port of Bari, next to the old town, where the cruise terminal (Terminal Crociere) stands on the quay. The port's road exit is at the far end of the harbour, so by car Bari Vecchia is about 5.8 km and 16 minutes away and Bari Centrale station about 7.9 km and 18 minutes. Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport is about 12–15 km from the centre.

About Bari
Bari is the capital of Puglia on Italy's Adriatic coast. Its walled old town, Bari Vecchia, sits on a peninsula next to the port, a maze of white-stone lanes around the Basilica of San Nicola and the Norman-Swabian Castle.
The 19th-century Murat district has the shopping streets, and the seafront promenade (Lungomare) runs past the Teatro Margherita on the old harbour. Bari is both a homeport and a port of call, and the base for day trips to Alberobello's trulli, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli and Matera.
