Guide to visiting Alberobello

Interest

Together with Lecce and Castel del Monte it is one of the most important stops on any trip to Puglia. Alberobello is known worldwide as the capital of the Trulli. These very original houses make the city very picturesque.
The city is well organized to welcome the tempting tourists who visit it every day. The reception for organized groups is also excellent: there are many hotels and restaurants that can accommodate medium-large groups of over 50 pax. The prices are on average more than reasonable and the quality is never low, so given the location in the center of Puglia, Alberobello can be the ideal place to stay.

Guide service

The guide service takes no less than two hours. It should also be considered that tourist coaches must carry out loading and unloading operations at the appropriate parking lot which is about 15 minutes on foot from the monumental area (and 15 for the return)

Half day itinerary

The meeting with the guide will take place at the bus park and together we reach the monumental area. During our tour we will visit the two historic districts Monti and Aia Piccola characterized by about 1500 trulli. Of the two, the Monti district is certainly the most famous noticed by the many shops and shops that offer local handicrafts, but we will also allow time for a view of the lesser known Aia Piccola district and its beautiful streets where at every step they open fairytale views. During our tour you certainly cannot miss the experience of entering the trulli in order to breathe the ancient charm. For the uniqueness of the place and the beauty of the trulli, UNESCO in 1996 included Alberobello in the list of world heritage monuments.

Bus Parking

The buses can’t come in the city center, they are required  park near the Sport hall, (it is well indicated). You can park your car in a parking closer the city. 

To reach the monumental area from the parking lot, you walk along a stretch of about 15 minutes which is not particularly difficult. Those who wish may use the shuttle for a fee (€ 1.00 each way), in my opinion not necessary.

There are many clean toilets all for fee.  There is one at the bus parking, one in Largo Martellotta and one near the Tullo Church
