Duration

5 to 6 hours

Overview

Explore Alberobello with a local guide and leave the beaten path by visiting also the less commercialized and therefore non-touristic side of the old town. Alberobello, UNESCO World Heritage site and so called "capital of the trulli-houses", features a concentration of more than 1400 of Apulia’s typical trulli on the two hills “Aia piccola” and “Rione monti”. This rural and unique architecture of cone-shaped dwellings is found in the entire Apulian region, usually scattered between endless olive groves and low-set vineyards. Discover why this stunning, mortar-less architecture was so popular in the past and how the trulli were build. After a nice walk through this fairy-tale town you will have some time to mingle with the locals in one of the numerous coffee or wine bars, visit the weekly market or to explore typical handmade fabrics and artisan crafts in some of the shops in the historical district.
