Alberobello’s main streets are compact and accessible in parts, but many areas in Matera have steps and uneven terrain; stroller access is limited and mobility issues should be considered.
Alberobello’s trulli grew from a medieval system of dry‑stone construction; Matera’s Sassi are a continuous settlement dating back thousands of years, with dense cave neighborhoods formed by people carving into the soft calcarenite.
Both towns are protected by UNESCO designations and local regulations aim to manage tourist impact—stay on marked paths, avoid climbing on fragile structures, and support local businesses to help preserve historic fabric.
