Alberobello

Metropolitan City of Bari · Apulia · Italy

Admission and costs
The district streets are free to enter; no general ticket is needed to walk among the trulli. Trullo Sovrano is a separate house museum with a €2.50 ticket; shopping and refreshments in the local businesses are optional.
Getting there
For arrival by car, choose the public Ex Mulino car park identified on the municipal map, accessed from the Via Mazzini area. Keep Rione Monti, Aia Piccola, Largo Martellotta and Piazza Sacramento out of your driving route: these are places to explore on foot.

Trullo Sovrano house museum offers an indoor alternative at Piazza Sacramento 10, with €2.50 admission. From November to March it lists 10am–12:45pm and 3:30–6pm; the midday break interrupts visits, while the districts remain outdoors.
Where to park
Use the public Ex Mulino car park near Via Mazzini. Continue on foot to the trulli districts.
