Introducing Trani
Trani is a Pugliese gem. Shimmering with a mother-of-pearl light, it has a sophisticated feel, particularly in summer when people pack the diminutive array of marina-side bars. Its Norman cathedral and piazza, perched above the sea, are an unforgettable sight.

The historic centre indicates a prosperous past: during the Middle Ages the town rivalled Bari in importance, and became a major embarkation point for merchants travelling to the Near East.
Some 40km from Bari, Trani makes an ideal base for exploring this part of Puglia.
