Foggia is not the city you would expect to find on any tourist brochure, and, quite frankly, although an interesting place, there are other places you should go to in Italy, before going there. Having said this, the sea is not too far, and you can daytrip to either Troia, for the cathedral (be aware that the word TROIA in Italian is a swear word, and quite a nasty one!). Another daytrip would be Lucera, famous for its castle. You can also go out in the woods and forest of Promontorio del Gargano. Foodwise, do not miss on the local speciality, “Orecchiette con le cime di rape”, a local pasta with rapes. To be honest, it does not appeal very much to me, but I know people who like it, including my father!
