Bari to Alberobello โ€” the trulli village that looks like a fairy tale

1,500 trulli โ€” cone-roofed stone houses that exist nowhere else on Earth. The Rione Monti district is UNESCO-protected, walking through its alleys of white cones is genuinely surreal.

Single-track, old rolling stock, but functional. Pretty Valle d'Itria countryside. Station 10 min walk from trulli.

SS100 south. Combine with Locorotondo (10 min further) and Ostuni (30 min east).

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: Walk past tourist trulli to Rione Aia Piccola โ€” where people actually live in trulli. Quieter, more authentic, fascinating rooftop symbols.

The verdict

Car if possible โ€” Alberobello is just one stop in the trulli region. FSE train works for Alberobello alone.
