Bari is southern Italy at its most authentic. A port city on the Adriatic with a stunning old town, incredible seafood, and a warmth from locals that you won't find in the more touristy north. The hospital here is one of the region's most important, and the clinical experience reflects that. Students come back talking about Bari more than almost any other city – it's the underdog that wins everyone over. Head 10-20 minutes in any direction and come across turquoise blue waters and stunning beaches to spend your weekends and afternoons.
