Zoosafari Fasanolandia Park near Bari

Zoosafari Fasanolandia is one of the best-known theme parks in Italy. It includes a zoological area and a zoo safari, where you can drive through and see animals living in freedom, as well as an amusement park. Covering an area of 140 hectares and housing over 3,000 animals from 200 different species, Zoosafari Fasanolandia is the largest zoo in Italy.

Where is the Park?

Zoosafari Fasanolandia is located in the Puglia region, near the town of Fasano, between Bari and Brindisi. It is approximately 60 km from both Bari and Brindisi, and only 17 km from Alberobello.

The easiest way to get there is by rental car (assuming you aren't driving your own car to Italy). In fact, the Zoosafari can only be explored by car. For practical tips and recommendations, check out our guide on how to rent a car from Bari airport.

Find Car Rentals

Getting there by public transport is a bit more complicated: you will need to take the train from Bari to Fasano station (30 minutes to 1 hour, prices from €5.30) and then a bus to the town centre (Viale della Resistenza). From there, it's another 2 kilometres to the park - you can take a taxi or walk.

On Sundays throughout June and July, the park offers a complimentary shuttle service from Fasano train station, running from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM.

It is important to know that if you do not go to the park by car, you will only be able to visit Fasanolandia, not the Zoosafari. However, if you arrive at the park by 12:00 PM, it is still possible to request a tour via the park's internal shuttle at the ticket office (subject to availability). The cost of this service is an additional €5/person on top of the ticket price.

From the town of Fasano, it is about 2 km to Zoosafari Fasanolandia Park.
