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.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
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.

Greccio

Province of Rieti · Lazio · Italy

Admission and costs
Admission to the Franciscan Nativity Sanctuary is free. The International Nativity Museum is a separate visit with its own admission and booking arrangements. This heritage itinerary does not include or imply a living-nativity performance ticket.
Getting there
Greccio has a station on the Terni–Rieti–Sulmona line, but the Christmas transfer from it requires booking. Arrange the final leg before travelling. For drivers, use the car parks on Via San Francesco; the sanctuary and village are separate stops.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
In the village, the International Nativity Museum offers indoor collections. Its admission is independent of the sanctuary visit; museum bookings and enquiries are handled on +39 0746 740028.
Where to park
Use the car parks on Via San Francesco. Plan separate onward journeys to the village and the sanctuary.
