How to get to Canosa
The closest airport is Bari International Airport-Karol Wojtyla (BRI) which is around 45 min drive to Canosa. Alternative airports are either Naples International Airport (NAP) or Brindisi Airport (BDS) which are both approximately 2 hours drive to Canosa. If you prefer using public transport rather than driving, regional trains are available from Bari (as well as from Brindisi) and we would recommend getting off in Barletta as the closest train station to Canosa. Another option can be flying to Rome and then take a fast train (Frecciarossa or Frecciargento) from Rome Termini to Barletta that will take approximately 3h 45min. For train tickets please refer to the official Trenitalia website https://www.trenitalia.com/it.html. Please note that tickets for fast trains (Frecciarossa or Frecciargento) are usually released 3 months before the travel date and could therefore not appear in the searches if looking to book too in advance. Should you have any question or face any issue, please let us know!
