The "pearl of the Adriatic" will win you over. Discover a still unpopular treasure of Puglia between mysteries, history and symbolism
There is not one reason why Trani is called "the pearl of the Adriatic"…there are at least four! Have you ever seen a cathedral on the sea? Did you know that the historic centre has an ancient medieval Jewish quarter?And then, there’s the beauty of the marina: the small local fishing, the daily fish market, the restaurants that you will discover just by following the scents. Finally, you will find traces of the great Frederick II by visiting his Castle in Trani. You will have a taste of a typical sweet wine called Moscato of Trani and of olive oil.
⇒ POPULARITY: 8/10 yes
⇒ THIS TOUR IS FOR people who love culture and art and who want to discover the most important and representative monuments of Puglia while enjoying a leisurely walk. Trani is part of the “citta’ slow” network and has been named a city that favours a slower paced life.

You will be captivated by the mewing of the seagulls who follow the fishermen's boats. You will take in the beauty of the elegant streets in the historic town centre, the jewish quarter and by the views that open up to you behind every corner. You will enjoy unforgettable moments sipping a coffee or the local wine "Moscato" di Trani, sitting outside a bar that faces the harbour and the sea ...
