Flights from Manchester to Bari

For an authentic Italian weekend getaway, the city of Bari located on Italy’s Adriatic coast is a must-visit. With a vibrant old town, delicious street food, and beautiful beaches, the slow-paced city life makes it an ideal relaxation holiday. 

easyjet operates Manchester to Bari direct flights. It’s a great destination for shorter trips with the Manchester to Bari flight time being around 3 hours. 

A highly walkable city, get lost in the medieval maze of winding streets in the old town Bari Vecchia. Right at the heart of this area, you’ll find the stunning church of Basilica di San Nicola. It houses the relics of Saint Nicholas, the historical inspiration for Santa Claus. Continue your cultural tour with the Norman-Swabian Castle. Learn about the impressive fortress and the centuries of history that it holds. 

When it’s time to slow down, head towards the azure coastline. Take a stroll down the Lungomare di Bari, the longest promenade in Italy. If you want a quick dip in the sea, Pane e Pomodoro is a sandy beach close to the centre. Torre Quetta is pebblier, where locals gather for sports and music events during the summer. 

Eat like a local and try focaccia or fresh seafood, both popular delicacies in the area. Bari is famous for fresh produce and affordable food, so you’ll never have to look far for a bite to eat. On any typical day, you're likely to find some of the local women sitting outside their homes rolling fresh Orecchiette pasta by hand.  

There’s so much to do in Bari, but it’s also a great base for exploring the wider Puglia region. With convenient public transport options, find fast and direct connections to coastal towns and neighbouring areas.
