Book your ticket as early as possible. Italian rail lines fill up in the warmer season; the lure of the Adriatic beaches attract thousands of vacationing Italians from Foggia.

Step 2
Choose to book your ticket online at the Trenitalia website. Trenitalia offers a comprehensive reservation system that allows you search various date and time schedules for your Bari destination.
-
Step 3
Choose your train line. The Eurostar (Italy's premier train line) and intercity train both have routes for the short train ride from Foggia to Bari.
-
Step 4
Get specialized assistance from an Italian train expert. The Foggia train station will contain a ticket counter with experts who can help you book your ticket in person.

Step 1
Check the Bari weather forecast. Weather conditions in Italy can change on a dime, so make sure to pack a sweatshirt and an umbrella in your backpack to carry onboard.
-
Step 2
Make sure to have your travel documents. Keep your passport, tickets, and wallet in a safe guarded travel book at all times. Pickpockets frequent train stations.
-
Step 3
Alert the Foggia train station in advance if anyone in your traveling party requires handicap service, early boarding, or other special attention.
-
Step 4
Call your credit card company to notify them of your impending travel. Sometimes they will freeze your credit card if there is suspicious activity on that card.
-
Step 5
Wear comfortable shoes on the train. If you have not made seat reservations and have to stand for the hour train ride, wearing high heels or tight shoes is not a great way to start a trip.
-
Step 6
Buy bottled water to carry with you on your travels from Foggia to Bari; even though the trip is relatively short, you may get thirsty and water on the train is not safe to drink.
