BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Barletta
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of BT
To book a taxi in Barletta, call the radio taxi at 0883 521469. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Barletta, taxi service isn't run by a single city radio taxi company, but by shifts organized by the Comune at three fixed taxi ranks: Piazza Conteduca in front of the railway station, Piazza Castello in the heart of the city, and the Ospedale Civile "Mons. R. Dimiccoli". The most reliable way to find a taxi is to call the number of the nearest rank directly, especially in the evening, when night service (22:00-6:00) becomes optional and must be requested by phone only. Travelers arriving by train usually find cars waiting in Piazza Conteduca, while to head towards the historic center, the Cantina della Disfida, or the Castello Svevo, it's best to contact the Piazza Castello rank. Unlike Bari, no ride-hailing apps or platforms such as Uber currently appear to be active in Barletta, so calling by phone remains the main way to book a ride.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Bari Karol Wojtyła (BRI) · ~55 km from the center
There's no fixed municipal fare for the Bari Airport-Barletta route: the fixed fares set by the Comune di Bari only cover Bari's districts and the municipalities of the Città Metropolitana di Bari, while Barletta belongs to the BT province and is excluded. For the approximately 55 km and 45-60 minute journey, it's best to book a private NCC/transfer service in advance and ask for a quote, or consider taking a regional train/bus to Barletta's station and then a taxi from the Piazza Conteduca rank.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The ZTL (limited traffic zone) in Barletta's historic center is active Monday to Friday from 21:00 to 2:00, Saturday from 14:00 to 24:00, and all day Sunday, with seven electronic checkpoints (including corso Vittorio Emanuele, corso Garibaldi, via Cavour, and piazza Marina). Vehicles used for taxi service and NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) cars displaying their emblem and license number are authorized to transit.
Practical tips
- There isn't a single city-wide radio taxi service: taxis operate on municipal shifts across three ranks (Piazza Conteduca/station, Piazza Castello, Ospedale Dimiccoli), so it's best to call the number of the nearest rank rather than look for an app.
- Night service (22:00-6:00) is optional and only available by phone call: if you're arriving on a late train or an evening flight, or visiting the Cantina della Disfida or the Castello Svevo in the evening, book ahead.
- Taxis and NCC cars displaying their emblem and visible license number can enter the historic center's ZTL (active Mon-Fri 21:00-2:00, Sat 14:00-24:00, all day Sun), useful for getting to hotels or restaurants within the walls near the Colosso or the Cantina della Disfida.
- There's no fixed fare to/from Bari Airport for Barletta: since it's outside the Città Metropolitana di Bari, it's best to agree on a price in advance with an NCC or transfer service.
- Travelers arriving by train at Barletta's station usually find taxis waiting in Piazza Conteduca; for the port and the seafront near the Castello Svevo, the most convenient rank is Piazza Castello.
