train is a great way to travel. Taking the train is always good for the environment, and it\u2019s our preferred way to get around, either in Italy or around the world. Actually, trains in Italy are quite comfortable, but there are some rules you might not know yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"book-your-tickets-in-advance\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Book your tickets in advance.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning your trip ahead can give you peace of mind and deal with the trip easily. We always recommend booking your train tickets in advance. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trainline.tp.st\/aLHPLUog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Trainline<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/omio.tp.st\/hdyAj2KB\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/omio.tp.st\/hdyAj2KB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Omio<\/a><\/strong> are great platforms to get your digital tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, we suggest getting an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/raileurope.tp.st\/f8cp0Z1R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Italy Rail Card<\/a><\/strong> to get on and off trains without hassles. This Rail Europe Card is one of the best options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both <em>Omio and Trainline offer online apps<\/em> where you can store your digital tickets. So, no need to carry around paper tickets, exchange vouchers, or need a printer. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/raileurope.tp.st\/f8cp0Z1R\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/raileurope.tp.st\/f8cp0Z1R\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Check the tickets on the digital stores.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><script async src=\"https:\/\/c91.travelpayouts.com\/content?currency=EUR&#038;trs=31166&#038;shmarker=226065.IT-PugliaNOCar&#038;powered_by=true&#038;locale=en&#038;mode=train&#038;departure=387761&#038;theme=blue&#038;layout=long&#038;promo_id=4770\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"always-validate-tickets\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Always validate tickets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the above option to get digital tickets is the <strong>best way to go paperless<\/strong>; however, if you are fond of regular tickets, you must remember to validate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purchasing the tickets directly at the station has the advantage of booking it at the last minute and maybe saving about 20% on the total cost. Even though, at the entrance of the train station, you must pass the ticket through the validator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This machine will stamp the date and time and make the ticket valid for your journey.

The rail network isn&#8217;t as extensive as up north but covers all major routes. <em>So you can confidently use trains to hop between destinations without issues.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-travel-around-puglia-by-public-transport\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Can you travel around Puglia by public transport?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, apart from trains, the transport system in Puglia has great bus options. At some point on our road trip to Puglia, we had to change trains with a bus. <strong>This option is perfect for the mainland<\/strong>, where the rail doesn\u2019t get far.<br><br>If this happens, remember that your train ticket is valid on the bus and you don\u2019t have to pay extras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-it-hard-to-travel-to-puglia-by-public-transport\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Is it hard to travel to Puglia by public transport?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not at all, it was the easiest way to see the Puglia countryside. Actually travelling through Puglia by train was fantastic. Once you get into little villages, you will discover the true essence of this region in southern Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long story short, when we arrived in <strong>Cisternino<\/strong>, on the hilltop of Valle d\u2019Itria, near Martina Franca and Locorotondo, the local bus stopped in the middle of nowhere. We found the way to the centre of the village and discovered one of the most stunning places we have been.<br><br>Then, a local approached us and showed us the village and where to eat for about 45 minutes before taking us to the train station on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Polignano-a-Mare-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Polignano a MAre train station\" class=\"wp-image-14115\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Polignano-a-Mare-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Polignano-a-Mare-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Polignano-a-Mare-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Polignano-a-Mare-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Polignano a mare train station is only 30 minutes away from Bari Centrale and the ticket is cheap, only 1.50\u20ac.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-towns-in-puglia-have-a-train-station\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Which towns in Puglia have a train station?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many popular towns and cities in Puglia have direct train station access, making it easy to design an itinerary using the rail system.

data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Day 10: Back to Bari<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your last few hours before flying home from Bari, explore the capital of the region. Seek out souvenirs in the maze of stalls crammed with local products at Mercato di Via Venezia. We loved the promenade of Bari; it is a fantastic spot to chase the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stop at a bakery for one more heaping tray of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/puglia-food-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15323\">Puglia\u2019s beloved pasticciotto custard tarts<\/a><\/strong> and other treats. Stroll through the fascinating archaeological exhibits at the Antiquarium and Romanesque Basilica San Nicola one last time if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toast the end of an unforgettable cultural immersion over regional specialities before your flight home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-end-of-your-trip-to-puglia-by-train\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>The end of your trip to Puglia by train<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have tried our best to help you plan a trip to Puglia. This itinerary is perfect if you are visiting the region in summer, winter or the shoulder seasons. We found out that trains are quite reliable, but also offer the best budget option to visit Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the destinations we have included in this Puglia Itinerary, you can personalise it a bit.

The best way to skip the summer crowds is to explore Puglia through shoulder season or even winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Actually, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/christmas-in-puglia-december\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"24882\">Christmas in Puglia<\/a><\/strong> has something extraordinary, putting the traditions at the centre of the scene. <a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/christmas-in-puglia-december\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"24882\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read our guide.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alternative itinerary, while on a shoulder season trip, is to substitute Martina Franca with the southern tip of Puglia. At the same time, you can\u2019t take advantage of the beaches of Santa Maria di Leuca or Gallipoli; better to diverge your plan on food and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martina Franca is often forgotten in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/puglia-road-trip-itinerary\/\">Puglia itineraries<\/a><\/strong>, but this town is more than the centre of Valle d\u2019Itria. We used this place as a home base to explore the area. It is about 30 minutes from Alberobello and 15 minutes away from Locorotondo by train.<br><br>Also, Martina Franca offers budget accommodations that can lower the costs of your trip. The station of Martina Franca is quite big, and you can reach back to Bari or travel to Monopoli and Matera with ease. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/martina-franca-puglia\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"25543\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Read our full guide about Martina Franca.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-is-apulia-in-italy\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Where is Apulia in Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puglia is the region forming the &#8220;heel&#8221; of the Italian peninsula, located in southern Italy along the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, Puglia borders the Adriatic Sea to the north and east, the Ionian Sea to the south, the region of Molise to the northwest, and Campania and Basilicata to the west.

Downside: peak crowds and prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fall (September-October):<\/strong> Warm sunny weather in the 70s with fewer tourists.
