A trip to Bari perfectly portrays the different breed of elegance offered by southern Italy. Upon passing through the Bari city limits, you will see something that stands in stark contrast to Rome, Venice, or Florence. As you stroll along the famous old-world avenue Corso Vittorio Emanuele II you will fully appreciate why Bari has become such a beloved destination of Italophiles: the untainted charm of the Old Town's medieval streets still bearing redolence of Bari's former maritime glory to one side and, to the opposite, a dynamic, cosmopolitan metropolis presenting visitors with the latest fashions and high-end amenities for which Italy has become famous.
