Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport

The airport uses one primary passenger terminal building with arrivals on the ground floor and departures above; separate areas cover domestic and international flights. Facilities (shops, check‑in counters and security) are concentrated in the single terminal so connections are generally short and on foot.

The airport is well connected to Bari city centre by rail and road; journey time to Bari Centrale is about 15-20 minutes by train and 15-30 minutes by taxi depending on traffic.

• Rail: The Ferrotramviaria airport service links the terminal’s rail stop with Bari Centrale (journey ~15-20 min). Tickets are bought from machines or the ticket office at the station.
• Buses: Regional and city buses serve the airport; schedules vary seasonally, so check local timetables.
• Taxis: Taxi ride to Bari city centre is typically 15-25 minutes; fares depend on time of day and luggage.
• Driving: The airport sits about 10-15 km from the city centre via the SS16/SS16bis; allow extra time in peak hours.

The airport offers small shops and cafés airside and landside and basic passenger services appropriate for a regional airport. Free or limited free Wi‑Fi is usually available; charging points are present in gate areas. There is at least one shared VIP/sala lounge for eligible passengers and business-class travellers. Facilities for accessible travel are provided, and car rental desks are located landside. Luggage storage options are limited - check ahead if you need long-term storage or a day room (city hotels are a good alternative).

There are several city hotels within 10-20 minutes of the airport; many are in Bari city rather than immediately adjacent to the terminal. For bookings with major chains use the chain sites (e.g. marriott.com, accor.com, ihg.com).

Long-layover tip: day rooms are easier to find in Bari city centre; arriving by the airport train to Bari Centrale gives the most hotel options within a short taxi ride.
