WALK THE WINDING PATHS OF TOWN
travelgourmet Says: The best part about Alberobello is that the town of trulli is closeknit, and a little walk up one hill and down another will give you a couple of hours of enjoyment. The people of the town are truly, no pun intended, excited to meet you. They will invite you into their...
TexasDave Says: At the top of the hill is this church, described as the world's only Trullo Church.
TexasDave Says: It takes maybe an hour or so to stroll around the town and investigate the trulli buildings. It is said there are over 1000 of them in Alberobello. Some have been converted into souvenir stores, restaurants, and hotel rooms.

orlandom Says: These house are probaly the most foto taken in Alberobello .they are just amazing
orlandom Says: Alberobello House
hquittner Says: Be sure to go into a trullo. We were part of a tour and of course that was included. I am sure that "open visits" are suggested by the tourist office or perhaps there are signs or just ask (the people are shy but friendly and you can look the Italian words up in your...
hquittner Says: Up the hill along the "main" street almost to the top, is the square with the church and the town hall. They are modern in creation and are in trullo-style. One passes numerous shops along the way.
hquittner Says: As one approaches Alberobello by car, the trulli appear. Outside of town they are usually a tool-shed or outbuilding. In town there are over 1000 ,usually used as dwellings. They are round or rectangular at the base and made of whitewashed (always!) blocks of stone (usually...

hquittner Says: I think this is where we ate lunch.(i.e. the name and address. The picture is correct ) The food was not memorable but tasty. I was not yet a VTer so I have no notes and no map. The local wine was very good. I do not remeber what we ate. It was not the pizza which looked...
metteks Says: Ferrovie del Sud Est have a train line between Bari and Taranto, with several stops on the way, including Alberobello and Castellana Grotta. This link is to the websites timetable (pdf-file). The train runs frequently and almost hourly, but pay attention to this: Not on...
sim1 Says: I went by car to Alberobello, and it's not that hard to find. Head south of Bari on S100 and then east (signposted) on S172. Just outside the tourist area you'll find lots of parking spaces, for which you have to pay though. I can't remember how much anymore, but I don't...
Maria Concetta Marco: Local food and wine
lichinga Says: There are so many food shops arounf I can't say this is any better than the others, but I found good products, a good choice and nice prices.
Anonymous: Lots of shops for tourists
hquittner Says: Along the main street up the hill to the Church (San Antonio) are trulli which are shops filled with souvenirs or local crafts (embroidery etc). Be sure to examine the labels and the work ; the country of origin may not be Italy but Taiwan, China, etc.!! This may even apply...
AN ANCIENT HEX SIGN ON THE ROOF
travelgourmet Says: Many trulli are topped off with a crown, called the "Pinaccolo" or pinnacle, either in a ball shape which some claim is the symbol of the sun, or in a religious symbol. All of these cone shaped roofs have painted hex symbols on them, while others are astrological.The...
sim1 Says: Well, that was it for the theories. What ever the answer is, the trulli are fascinating to see. So if you are in this area, don't forget to take a look in Alberobello!
travelgourmet Says: Many of the homeowners in Trulli, have reached out to the tourist and want to have a touch of the gold. They will invite you into their trulli home, and ask you to pay for the introduction to the inside. Ask first, if there is a charge, but Italian is mostly what is spoken...
sim1 Says: Sunscreen! It can be burning hot here in the summer, certainly when you do like me, and visit Alberobello during the middle of the day. Sunscreen is certainly not a luxery around here, but an absolute must. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you will need it....
sim1 Says: Not far from Alberobello is the city of Ostuni. The "white city" of Ostuni is built above the green terraced fields. The city is such a beautiful sight from a distance. It is sitting up on the top of three neighbouring hills, and all the houses are perfectly whitewashed. I...
sim1 Says: Alberobello was orginally not on my list of places I wanted to see. I had never heard of it, so how could I include it? Alberobello is quite far south in Italy, close to Bari, and this part of Italy wasn't on my itinerary. But I changed my mind after my neighbour told me...

Alberobello, where a Trullo is Home
Our bus day trip from our base in Matera took us into Puglia to Alberobello and later to the Grotte di Castellana. In the town we were lectured on the construction of the trulli, visited the interior...

The mystery is gone. The word is out. There is more to see in Italy than Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Sicily, Lake Como, Amalfi Coast. There is Puglia, and the town of Alberobello, the home of the...
