Description

Discover Two Jewels of Southern Italy with Our Alberobello and Matera Day Trip

 

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our Alberobello and Matera day trip. The journey begins at 8:30 AM with a meet-up at Largo degli Eroi in Bari. On board our comfortable bus, you will head toward two extraordinary destinations, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Alberobello and Matera.

 

Alberobello: The Timeless Charm of Trulli

 

The first stop of the Alberobello and Matera day trip is Alberobello, famous for its trulli, symbols of Apulian architecture. Don't miss the Chiesa Madre dei Santi Medici Cosma e Damiano, with its imposing neoclassical façade. Wander through the picturesque Rione Aia Piccola, dotted with hundreds of trulli, and visit the Trullo Sovrano, the only two-story trullo. Admire the view from the Belvedere di Santa Lucia and discover the artisan shops in Rione Monti.

 

Guided Tour or Independent Exploration: Choose Your Adventure

 

If you prefer to explore on your own, you'll have about 3 hours to discover the historic center and sample local delicacies. If you'd rather deepen your experience, a licensed guide will lead you through the alleys of Alberobello, sharing stories and curiosities about the trulli and local culture. With detailed explanations and engaging anecdotes, the guided tour will make your Alberobello and Matera day trip even more special and meaningful.

 

Change of Scenery: Journey Continues to Matera

 

After exploring Alberobello, at 2:00 PM we will meet at the Bus Check-Point parking lot and head toward Matera. This unique city will leave you in awe with its famous Sassi and rock-hewn churches.

 

Matera: A Dive Into History Among the Sassi

 

The second stop of the Alberobello and Matera day trip takes you to Matera, the city of the Sassi, a place where history is carved in stone. You'll have about 4 hours to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

Explore Matera: Independent or Guided Tour of the Stone-Carved Secrets

 

Admire Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the heart of Matera, and the Cathedral, located at the highest point of the city. You can visit attractions like the Palombaro Lungo independently and explore the labyrinth of the Sassi, divided into Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso. Alternatively, opt for a guided tour to discover the highlights of the Sassi in a short amount of time, with direct access to must-see sites like a rock church and a cave house, making your Alberobello and Matera day trip even more immersive.

 

Return to Bari: A Journey to Remember

 

The Alberobello and Matera day trip concludes with a meet-up at 6:00 PM at the Castle in Matera. From there, you'll head back to Bari, arriving around 7:30 PM. During the return journey, you can share the day's emotions with other participants.
