Alberobello: Guide
Alberobello is in Apulia, Italy.
Alberobello is famous for its fairytale like 14. century Trulli huts.
Understand
Alberobello is known as the Capital of the Trulli. The trullo is a fascinating architectural feature of this area of Puglia, a building with conical roof made without mortar. Alberobello has special status internationally - designated a UNESCO world heritage site - because its collection of some 1,500 trulli in an urban environment is unique.
Some of the trulli are now used for stores, restaurants, and lodging. But many are still inhabited by locals, who are very friendly to visitors. Alberobello is a tourist attraction, but it is not overrun, especially away fro the main tourist honeypot, and most visitors are Italian.
The town is the centre of an annual pilgrimage to the Basilica dedicated to the martyr saints Cosma and Damiano.
Get in
Alberobello is under an hour's drive from either Bari or Brindisi airport. In this area generally you will need your own transport to get around.
Alberobello does, though, have a rail station. By train, take one of the 15 daily trains from Bari, Sud-Est line from the platform after platform 10 in Bari Central station. The trip takes 1h30min and tickets are sold on the platform for €4.
There are a few train connections to Taranto a day.
From the station walk uphill to the town centre.
Get around
Alberobello's attractions are all within walking distance.
Nearby you will find within easy reach by car a number of equally fascinating towns - for example the white towns of Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni, the 18th century baroque elegance of Martina Franca, the Norman romanesque centre of Conversano. The caves of Castellana Grotte are spectacular.
See
The two trulli zones, the Basilica, Trullo Sovrano, the trullo church of St Antony, the trulli museum
Do
In summer Alberobello plays host to a number of festivals. These include a significant international folk festival, music festivals including classical, jazz and popular music, dance, theatre, street theatre and childrens events. There are also religious festivals with music performances and firework displays. Most of the performances are free and open-air.
The town has a vibrant passeggiata with summer strolls continuing beyond midnight.
Buy
The trulli zone has many souvenir shops selling trulli models etc.
Enoteka sells local goods such as cheese, sausage, spreads, cookies, wine grappa. Some give you small samples or sell you a full glass of wine for a couple of Euros.
Tholos Wine Bar , Monte st Michele 20, tel: +39 080 4321699.
There is a good number of restaurants in the tourist centre of the town, but for the best meals go a little away from the tourist trap. Casa Nova is an exception - good staff and food.
For a good restaurant in the town centre try La Cantina just off the high street, between the municipio and the basilica. Not the largest portions in town, so go there for the excellent food. A small restaurant with limited seating.
For the best all-round restaurant go where the locals go - Gli Ulivi just outside the town near the Campo Sportivo. For dinner in summer arrive soon after 8 as the restaurant gets crowded. Food always very good, antipasto della casa is huge and in endless variety, very fresh meat well cooked. House wine excellent - eat a couple of courses with wine etc for around 20 euros per head. Closed Wednesday.
