And of course the delicious seafood 🐟🦑 #summervacation #foodie #tripblazers

#AprilTravelSupportThe patterns carved on the arched doors inside the Bari Castle in Italy seemed to have symbolic meanings. The pillars erected in the corridors inside the castle were also decorated with grape leaves, which was cool and it was such a great atmosphere that I recommend it as a place worth seeing. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport This is a cathedral in the center of the old town in Bari, but admission is only available for a fee. There are many things to see and ancient mosaic patterns excavated in the basement of the cathedral, so the admission fee is worth it. I recommend it to those interested in archeology. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport Teatro Margherita has been transformed into a modern art museum, but when I visited, the entrance was closed so I couldn't see the inside. It's located right in front of the sea, so I think the exterior looks even more beautiful. I recommend stopping by when you're sightseeing in the city. 📍Teatro Margherita #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport This is a restaurant that I visited again because it was so delicious the first time I visited. Spaghetti with mussels is a combination that is hard to beat no matter where you eat it or who cooks it, but here, it was especially clean and had a deep flavor. I recommend it because it is a restaurant that only locals visit and is not on Google Maps. #italytravel

#AprilTravelSupport Nowadays, you can reserve tickets online or through the Italian railway app. There were many machines at Bari Central Station that helped with purchasing tickets. I recommend purchasing the tickets you need for train travel offline at the train station. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport This is a famous cathedral in Bari's old town where the remains of St. Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus, are buried. It's a place that's always crowded, and what's special about it is that there are relics in the basement of the cathedral, and when I went, it was open for an event, so I recommend it. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport I started with Scampi, which I always enjoy when traveling to Italy, as a starter at a famous seafood restaurant in downtown Bari. The servers were friendly and the interior of the restaurant was luxurious, so I think it will be fully booked for dinner, so I recommend visiting during lunch time and eating deliciously. #italytravel 📍Via Nicolò Putignani, 11, 70121 Bari BA, Italy

#AprilTravelSupport I stopped by a poke restaurant near the university in Bari to have lunch. As soon as I entered, I was surprised to see many young people eating in the restaurant. I wondered if poke was such a popular food. The price was reasonable, and the interior of the restaurant was decorated with cherry blossoms, making it even more oriental. I recommend this restaurant if you want to eat fast and healthy food in Bari. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport This is a street that I really recommend you visit in Bari Old Town. You can see Italian grandmothers, mothers, and aunts making pasta by hand, and you can also buy handmade pasta in various colors, so it is a place that many tourists visit. First, I recommend looking around the shops at the beginning of the pasta street and going to the grandmother's house that you like and buying something. 📍Orechiette Strada

#AprilTravelSupport In the old town of Bari in the Apulia region, an old lady was making pasta orecchiette at a street stall. While watching her hard work, I thought about buying her a bag, but I ended up just taking a picture because they were selling it for a higher price than at the supermarket. When I looked around other places, all the stores were selling it for the same price of 2.5 euros per bag. I recommend this only to those who want to buy it for souvenirs. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport When you go to an Italian restaurant, be sure to order tomato sauce. You can taste the chef's true skills in the tomato sauce, so if you feel the deep flavor of the tomato sauce, go back and try other menus. I recommend it to those who want to eat in a real local atmosphere. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport If you walk through the arched gate remaining in Bari's old town and enter Strada S. Giuseppe, you can see many cafes, souvenir shops, and restaurants in Bari's old town. If you like the Italian alley sensibility, I recommend you to tour the old town to feel the atmosphere of the entire street. #beautiful_italy

I didn't expect to find such a magnificent theater in Bari, Italy, during my April travels. However, seeing the grand and ornate building piqued my curiosity about its history. I considered attending a concert, but unfortunately, the timing didn't work out. While browsing the website, I discovered that they offer theater tours. So, I arrived in the morning, purchased a ticket at the box office, and joined the tour. I highly recommend visiting the Bari Theater, as its interior is even more impressive than its exterior.

Introducing Bari, Italy. The seaside area is recommended! It's a place where you can view the Adriatic Sea, and you can enjoy the calm sea while sitting on a bench. "Lungomare e Murat" 📍Location: Lungomare Nazario Sauro, Bari, Italy "Normanno-Svevo Castle" 📍Location: Piazza Castello, 70028 Sannicandro di Bari BA, Italy Also, Bari has delicious seafood dishes, so be sure to try them when you visit! #Spring0yenTrip

I recommend it because the staff there are so warm and considerate to travelers from far away, even though they are busy. 📍La Farmacia Food & Drink

#AprilTravelSupportI don't know if the residents decorated it, but when I passed through Bari Old Town, there were colorful decorations between the houses, so it seemed like they were greeting tourists. Since real residents live there, even the laundry hanging out carelessly smelled like people and felt warm and cozy. Come visit Bari Old Town! #bellaitalia

#AprilTravelSupport This was a restaurant recommended by a museum staff member. I visited during lunchtime, so there weren't many customers, but the interior and outdoor terrace were spacious, so I could tell that it was a popular place. It's located in Bari's old town, so it's easy to find, so I recommend it. 📍La Locanda di Federico #bellaitalia

#AprilTravelSupport The Archaeological Museum, located right next to the beach in Bari's old town, is currently undergoing construction on its outdoor terrace, so I was looking forward to seeing a great view once construction was complete. Before the tour, a friendly staff member told me about a contactless locker, so I was able to store my heavy backpack safely and tour the museum. #bellaitalia

#AprilTravelSupport Ancient relics were displayed in a place that used to be an old monastery building. When I went, there were few visitors, so it was nice to visit quietly. It was amazing to see ancient relics that I had only seen in pictures in person. The archaeological museum was bigger than I thought, so there was a lot to see. I recommend stopping by the old town when you travel to Bari.

#AprilTravelSupport The books on display at the entrance and the bookstore where you can buy archaeology-related books were neatly displayed inside. I would like to praise the museum staff who kindly helped me buy tickets and put my belongings in a locker so that I could tour comfortably. #bellaitalia

#AprilTravelSupport Until a few years ago, I think the admission fee was free, but now you can tour the Bari Archaeological Museum for 5 euros. It is informative because you can learn about the history of the entire city of Bari and the history of the building that used to be a monastery, so I recommend it if you have time when you are touring the city's old town. #bellaitalia
