Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) is the main air gateway to Puglia in southern Italy — just ≈9 km from downtown, reachable by train in 20 minutes. For more on the city itself, see the Tbilisi to Bari guide.
🚆 Ways into the center
- FBN train (Ferrotramviaria) → Bari Centrale: ≈20 min, ≈$1.50
- Tempesta bus → Bari Centrale: ≈30 min, ≈$5
- City bus (AMTAB, line 16): slower, ≈$1.30
- Taxi: ≈15-20 min, fixed fare ≈$27
- Uber/Free Now: ≈15-20 min, ≈$22-27
🚆 Train — the cheapest and fastest
The FBN regional train runs straight from the airport terminal to Bari Centrale station in ≈20 minutes. Buy tickets from a machine at the airport or at the station.
Trains run twice an hour from morning until midnight — check the schedule after you land.
🚌 Tempesta bus — straight to the center
The Tempesta bus runs directly from the airport to Bari Centrale station, with a few central stops along the way. Buy tickets on board or slightly cheaper online in advance.
🚖 Taxi and Uber/Free Now
Official taxis charge a fixed fare to the center (≈$27), so there's no surprise pricing. Uber has limited availability in Bari, while Free Now works more widely — both show the fare upfront.
Avoid unlicensed drivers outside the terminal — an official taxi rank or an app booking is always the safer choice.
💡 Practical tips
- The train doesn't run overnight (00:00-05:00) — a taxi or Uber/Free Now is your only option then
- The train and bus are comfortable with luggage — low steps and luggage racks
- For general principles on getting from other European airports into the city, see the airport-to-city guide
