The historic city center of Alberobello is a Unesco World Heritage site. It is dominated by more than 1500 trulli: traditional Puglian buildings with conical stone roofs, built without mortar. They are still used as homes, restaurants, shops or tourist accommodations. You will visit the two historical Trulli districts: Aia Piccola and Monti. If desired, you can also visit the Trullo Sovrano. This unique two-storey trullo was converted into a museum and will give you a unique insight into the interior of trullo living quarters.
A tour with a driver/escort to experience Alberobello’s trulli (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is highly recommended.

Start your tour from the Aia Piccola to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is the warm heart of the city. Visit the trulli and enjoy the view from some of their roof terraces. The local museum is located in the Trullo Sovrano, where you can admire the typical décor of the 1900s.
