Promenade in Bari
The Bari Lungomare is a wide seafront promenade stretching along the Adriatic coast of the city, lined with early 20th-century buildings and palm trees. Free. The promenade runs from the old port to the beaches south of the city. Budget travelers walk the Lungomare in the evening when the entire city seems to be out for the passeggiata (evening stroll) and understand that Bari is a city that lives outdoors.
