It’s a smooth journey, as it is easy to book your ticket, you can choose from multiple departures, and the train offers good comfort. Let’s take a closer look at what it’s like to travel to Taranto by train!
The Bari to Taranto regional train
Route overview
The train service from Bari to Taranto is operated by Trenitalia, Italy’s national railway company. On this route, you can choose between InterCity and regional trains. InterCity trains are generally faster but slightly more expensive, while regional trains are a bit slower but also cheaper.
The distance by rail from Bari to Taranto is 104 kilometers (65 miles), with InterCity trains taking around 1 hour and 10 minutes, while regional trains take about 10 minutes longer.
Transportation experience
Omio is a great website for booking Italian train tickets. If you search for trains from Bari to Taranto, you can instantly compare both InterCity and regional trains and sort them by departure time or price. Fare conditions, such as whether your ticket is refundable or changeable, are clearly communicated.
Departure station
Bari Centrale, the main station in the city, is where you can catch your train to Taranto. It’s a short walk away from most city center hotels. At the station, you can find some cafés, as well as a small supermarket.
Arrival station
The main railway station of Taranto is simply called “Taranto”. This station is around 15 to 20 minutes away on foot from the historic center. If you are carrying a lot of luggage, there are usually taxis waiting at the station forecourt, or you can hop on a city bus.
Schedule & frequency
There are around 20 daily trains between Bari and Taranto. Most are regional trains, while the rest are InterCity trains or the odd Frecciarossa high-speed service.
Onboard experience & services
I took an early morning regional train to travel from Bari to Taranto. The regional train was modern and fully air-conditioned, with seats arranged either two abreast or in bays of four. As regional trains don’t have seat reservations, you can take any empty seat you like. There are power sockets at some seats, though the train has no Wi-Fi. Of course, there are toilets on board the train. Overall, I thought the train was perfectly comfortable.
Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
I booked my ticket the evening before travel and paid €10.60 for a seat in second class. Regional train tickets in Italy have a fixed price and cannot sell out, so it doesn’t matter whether you buy your tickets weeks ahead or on the day of travel. However, InterCity ticket prices are variable and generally cheaper if booked in advance. For a short journey like Bari to Taranto, the differences are negligible.

Top tips & recommendations
