Shopping in Bari

Bari is an important commercial city. In Bari there are many shops and the most important are mainly situated in a few central streets: Via Sparano, Corso Cavour, Via Argiro, etc.. There are shops of different categories, both national and international. These streets in Bari's new town are excellent for gift and souvenir-buying as well as just browsing while you wander. You'll find large shops of international brands like H&M, Adidas and Zara, and also Italian ones. There is no pressure to buy if you enter any of the shops and it is a pleasant walk where you can see the everyday life of the modern town. We think that it is not wrong to define the “Borgo Murattiano” as a big open-air shop. In fact, here there are a lot of shops,and everyone can find what he is looking for.The main street is surely Via Sparano,the long promenade and pedestrian area where it is possible to find the main brands. Corso Cavour is also ideal for shopping, but mainly with cheap shops and stalls.But in all the streets of this area (for example,Via Argiro) there are a lot of shops, so...have a nice day!The opening hours are 9-13 and 16.30-20.30. On Monday morning and Sunday (few occasions excepted) shops are usually closed. There are also several shopping centres, like Auchan, Ipercoop, Bariblu, each with a big hypermarket and lots of shops. They are usually located on the outskirts of the city or on the highways connecting Bari with other towns of the metropolitan area and they are open all day, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m..
