Where to run in Bari

Very long and flat, from the centre towards the south and the north: ideal for long runs and steady-pace work.

The city's big urban park, with avenues and loops suited to easy runs.

Towards the south the coast opens up and the seafront carries on with less traffic.

The plateau behind the city: quiet roads, rolling terrain and dry-stone walls, all the way to Castel del Monte.

Scenic rides by the sea, easy to combine with the hinterland.

Alberobello, Locorotondo and Martina Franca: gentle hills and some of the most beautiful roads in the South.

Wind is the real opponent: plan the ride to come home with a tailwind. In summer the coastal roads are busy, so favour the hinterland.
