Bari in Italien is a destination that Family plans for families, focusing on children, safety and short distances. Behind it stands Swiss Vibes, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, which puts together family trips with short distances. The planner asks about family and period, and on the video call Swiss Vibes clarifies the details.

Why this trip
Grandmothers sit in the lane shaping orecchiette with their thumbs, and children watch: this is Bari Vecchia, the old town of the Apulian port city, and it costs nothing. Bari is not a postcard city, but that is exactly why families experience real Italian everyday life here. The old town is a labyrinth of white lanes in which children like to play hide and seek, as long as parents stay within sight. The Basilica di San Nicola and the Castello Svevo offer school-age children hands-on history, with walls, courtyards and an anecdote about Saint Nicholas.
The Lungomare Nazario Sauro is a broad seafront promenade where children ride bikes or scooters, and the Piazza Mercantile invites you to ice cream in the evening. From April to June and September to October it is warm enough for swimming, but not too hot. Lecce, Naples, the Amalfi Coast and Calabria lie in the south of Italy, but families are best off travelling with one fixed base. The flight to southern Italy is short, one to one and a half hours, and entry is visa-free.
In churches shoulders and knees must be covered, which is easy to plan with children.
