While driving in Bari is known to be simple and enjoyable, there is important information to know to make your trip a success.
-ZTL: Many larger cities in Italy, including Bari and nearby Lecce, have ZTL districts where driving and parking are limited to residents with permits. Check the ZTL boundaries before venturing out.
-Small roads: As a center of antiquity, Bari has many narrow roads and parking spaces, which applies to both urban and country roads. A compact car is a good solution to Bari’s narrow streets.
-Parking: It can be difficult to find parking close to Bari’s beaches and major attractions. Opt to park in a garage.
-Country roads: While driving on country roads, it can be common to encounter delays. Allow plenty of extra time when driving on rural roads.
-On the road: In Italy, drivers are known for maximizing any amount of available space on the road. Be alert for other drivers who may squeeze into small spaces near you.
-Roundabouts: Yield to cars already in the roundabout before entering and be alert that some local drivers may not observe this custom.
