Visiting Alberobello, Puglia’s Trulli Town, Alberobello, Italy

Alberobello is located in the Puglia region in southern Italy, renowned for its unique and picturesque trulli houses. You will spot trulli all over Puglia, but Alberobello has the most extensive collection of just trulli buildings in one place! 

These traditional limestone dwellings with conical roofs create a fairy-tale-like atmosphere that attracts visitors from around the world – a lot of visitors!! 

The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its architectural uniqueness and historical significance.

Alberobello is undoubtedly one of the most touristy towns in Puglia. I advise getting there early, ideally before 9 a.m., to see Alberobello before the crowds arrive or staying overnight in a Trullo and enjoying the town once the majority have departed. Otherwise, you’ll just get caught up in a sea of tourists.

Half a day is all you really need to explore Alberobello. Staying overnight in a trullo would undoubtedly be a magical experience. I was tempted to do that, but in the end, I opted to stay a couple of nights in nearby Locorotondo, and I don’t regret my decision.  ......
