Walking
If you are in the central area of Bari, such as near the Basilica di San Nicola, head towards Via Venezia and walk straight until you reach Piazza del Ferrarese. From there, turn left onto Via del Mare, which will lead you directly to the Castello Svevo. It should take around 10-15 minutes on foot.
Public Transport
You can take a bus from the main bus terminal located near the train station (Stazione di Bari Centrale). Look for bus line 16 or 20, which will take you close to the Castello Svevo. Get off at the stop 'Via Cavour' and walk straight for about 5 minutes until you reach Piazza Federico II di Svevia, where the castle is located.
Bicycle
If you have access to a bicycle, you can rent one at various rental points in Bari. Start from Lungomare Imperatore Augusto and cycle towards the historic center. Follow the signs towards the castle, and park your bike at designated racks near Piazza Federico II di Svevia. The ride should take about 10 minutes.
