It depends on your travel style. Apartments give you kitchen access, more living space, and greater privacy, which suits families, groups, or anyone staying more than two or three nights. Hotels tend to offer daily housekeeping and on-site reception, which some travellers prefer. For self-sufficient visitors who plan to cook some meals and explore independently, a whole apartment in Bari is usually the more practical and often more economical choice per person.

Whole apartment rentals in Bari are concentrated in a few key areas. The Murattiano district, the planned 19th-century grid south of the old town, offers central access to shops, restaurants, and the train station. Bari Vecchia, the medieval old town, provides a more atmospheric setting close to the waterfront and major landmarks. Apartments near the Lungomare promenade appeal to those who want sea views and easy access to the coastal walkway popular with Bari residents.

Central Bari is compact enough to cover many sights on foot, particularly between the Murattiano quarter, the old town, and the seafront. City buses run across the wider urban area, and taxis and ride-hailing apps are available for longer trips. Bari Centrale station connects the city to regional rail services across Puglia, including Lecce and Taranto, making day trips straightforward. For exploring inland areas such as Matera or the Trulli towns around Alberobello, renting a car gives the most flexibility.
