The charm of Bari's seafront
A must-see: Bari's seafront, among the longest and most beautiful in Italy and Europe.
The Bari seafront , as well as being one of the most characteristic places in the city, is also considered among the most beautiful in Italy and among the longest in Europe .
The seafront originated around the first half of the 20th century and is made up of a row of iron street lamps (197 to be exact) which over the years have become true symbols of this city .
Bari's seafront , between the port and the city's famous Pane e Pomodoro , extends for approximately 3 km. There is also another section of the seafront , which is slightly off-center and extends from the historic Fiera del Levante to a working-class neighborhood further north, passing by the city's characteristic lighthouse .
Every day thousands of tourists and residents of Bari walk along the Bari seafront , some for work, some for jogging, some to enjoy a romantic moment; among these there are also those who simply want to stop and immortalise the beauty of the sea with the nuances of its sunsets reflected in the water.
In short, Bari manages to give you emotions even just by walking among its characteristic streetlights sea air ; a historic, beautiful , lively and at the same time relaxing place that cannot go unnoticed when you come to Bari .

Another interesting aspect that is certainly useful to know before walking towards the seafront , concerns the fishermen's markets set up respectively on the Sant'Antonio pier and the San Nicola pier ; these are two strategic points on the Bari seafront from where it is possible not only to have a panoramic view of the city's splendid seafront, but even to try the famous street food consisting of exquisite raw seafood (known as crudo di mare barese) .
If you're eager to fully enjoy Bari and its waterfront, you'll surely also be interested in sampling the flavors of the sea.
The people of Bari love eating raw seafood , and this practice is usually paired with a beautiful view (the sea) and an "ice-cold" drink, as they say in Bari (preferably a Peroni, beloved by the people of Bari) .
In short, the Bari waterfront is a particularly memorable experience. We're talking history, culture, nature, and flavors, all wrapped up in a setting of sun and scents. Your Bari cannot but include this area, a symbol of the city and its Bari identity; otherwise, it would be very difficult to say you've truly seen Bari.
In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful images of the waterfront .
