Card payments

All the usual payment methods are generally accepted at toll booths; museums do not always accept cards, so plan to carry cash.

• Pickpockets in Bari Vecchia

  The narrow, busy streets of the old town make it a favoured spot for local pickpockets.

• Snatch thefts and scam-related thefts near vehicles

  In Bari (as in Naples), thefts from vehicles have been reported after the occupants' attention was diverted under a pretext (often a claimed or induced flat tyre), with the offenders on foot or on a moped.

• Nighttime atmosphere in the lively district

  In the evening, the old town's nightlife area can include people who are intoxicated.
