How to get to Bari

By plane:
The International airport Karol Wojtila in Bari/Palese (BRI) is conveniently located minutes from downtown Bari. It is connected to the city by both public transportation (bus nr. 16) and taxis. But with some organization, we can arrange to come pick you up.

NOTE: you can get good deals for flight+hotel, see the post "where to stay in Bari" for help on choosing your hotel
NOTE: if you fly into Rome, chances are your suitcase delivery will be delayed. Eventually they will re-delivery to you at your final destination, but make sure to bring your essential items on a carry on bag... We really don't mind you showing up in jeans at the ceremony, but the neighbors might complain!! :)
