Alberobello is a fairytale village. No where else in the world will you find such a unique town of charming, narrow streets where the inhabitants live in “trulli,” small conical-roofed houses initially built without the use of mortar and with only dry stones piled one on top of the other and crowned with limestone roofs, which artfully supply pinnacles of magical significance.

Your will walk through the narrow alleys of the Aia Piccola borough and will see the key attractions of Alberobello, including a visit inside a trullo house.
