Located about a two hour drive from Barletta, Vieste is perfectly situated between the Adriatic coastline and Gargano National Park. Travelers can easily explore the picturesque coastline, the historic monuments of the city, or the landscapes and sights of the National Park with a private chauffeur or a rental car in Vieste.
Among Vieste's main sights, its popular beaches are typically the first stop for travelers who find themselves in the city. Many of the beaches on the outskirts of the city and in Gargano National Park have been awarded Blue Flags for the purity of their waters and for the cleanliness of the beaches found here. The city's most famous point is Pizzomunno, a rocky monolith standing over 80 feet tall near Castle Beach. Another popular tourist attraction is the cathedral constructed in an ancient Romanesque style. The cathedral is of particular intrigue because its bell tower was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century, very much clashing with the rest of the cathedral's original design. If you're driving through Gargano National Park or along the Adriatic coastline south towards Bari Palese Airport or elsewhere with your one-way car rental, make it a point to stop in Vieste and check out its historic sights and scenic natural landscapes. A van rental is also a great idea for those needing the extra luggage space while traveling through Vieste.
