The town

Alberobello is a town in the province of Bari (BA) in the Italian region of Apulia (Puglia), Italy. 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.

Getting there

The easiest way to reach Alberobello is by train. At Bari Centrale station, which is served by Trenitalia, look for signs to the Ferrovie Sud-Est, located within the same station. The trip takes 1 hr 30 min and tickets are sold in the ticket office next to the platform for €4 each way. There are 15 daily connections (some direct, some via Putignano) from Monday-Saturday. There is no need to stamp your ticket before the trip. The regional train to Alberobello is not run by Trenitalia, and thus, railpasses are not accepted.

Alberobello can also be reached by car with under an hour's drive from either Bari or Brindisi airport. It is also around 30 minutes' drive from the picturesque Polignano a Mare.

There are also a few train connections to Taranto a day.

From the station, walk to the town centre and follow signs to the Zona Monumentale Trulli (or, use any online satellite map service to locate the dense trulli region on a map). The walk takes about 15 minutes.
