About Bari Centrale

Bari Centrale is the main railway station of the Apulian regional capital of Bari on the Adriatic coast of southern Italy, one of the principal rail hubs of the Mezzogiorno. Trenitalia high-speed Frecciarossa services connect Bari with Naples in around three hours and Rome in around four, while regional trains fan out across Apulia to Brindisi, Lecce, Taranto, and Foggia, and private operator Ferrotramviaria serves the Bari Nord lines to the Murge plateau. The station is adjacent to the Adriatica ferry port for services to Greece and Albania, making it an important multi-modal hub for travel across the Adriatic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bari Centrale is situated at the northern edge of the new town grid, with the medieval Città Vecchia roughly 15 minutes on foot along Corso Cavour. The historic castle, Basilica di San Nicola, and the seafront are all within easy walking distance.

Frecciarossa and Intercity services link Bari to Naples, Rome, and Milan, while regional Trenitalia trains serve Lecce, Brindisi, Taranto, and Foggia. The Ferrovie Appulo Lucane (FAL) and Ferrotramviaria regional networks also depart from adjacent terminals.

The station has a staffed Trenitalia ticket office, self-service machines, a café and bar, and luggage lockers near the main hall. The forecourt leads directly onto Piazza Aldo Moro, with buses and taxis readily available.

Bari's ferry port, serving Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece, is about two kilometres from the station and reachable by local bus or taxi in around ten minutes. Most ferry companies recommend arriving at the port at least two hours before departure.

Bari is renowned for its handmade orecchiette pasta, and the women who roll it by hand can be found in the narrow lanes of the old town just minutes from the station. The street food speciality of 'sgagliozze' (fried polenta squares) sold near the station is a favourite local snack.
