Take the train from Bari: Ferrovie del Sud Est trains and buses connect Bari with Alberobello; check schedules, as services can be limited.
Rent a car for the Itria Valley: A car makes it easy to visit nearby Locorotondo, Cisternino and Martina Franca.
Walk the trulli districts: Rione Monti and Aia Piccola are compact and best explored on foot.

Beware of pushy shops: Some shopkeepers invite you onto their trullo roofs for views, then pressure you to buy; feel free to decline politely.
Watch your bags: Pickpocketing is rare but possible in busy summer crowds, so keep valuables secure.
Mind the slopes: The streets of Rione Monti are steep and slippery when wet; wear good shoes.

Visit quieter Aia Piccola: This residential trulli area is less touristy, with fewer shops and a more authentic feel.
Eat focaccia and street food: Pugliese focaccia and panzerotti from bakeries make a cheap, filling lunch.
Check for coperto: Many restaurants add a cover charge per person; check the menu before sitting down.

Prepare for hot summers: Summers are hot and sunny; pack light clothes, a hat and sunscreen.
Bring layers in winter: Winters are mild but can be chilly and damp; bring a warm jacket.
Dress for churches: Cover shoulders and knees when visiting the trullo church of Sant'Antonio and other churches.

Learn about trulli symbols: Many trulli roofs carry painted symbols with religious or folk meanings; ask locals to explain them.
Taste orecchiette: This ear-shaped pasta, often served with turnip tops, is Puglia's signature dish.
Respect the riposo: Many shops close in the early afternoon for a break, so plan shopping in the morning or evening.

Stay in a trullo: Sleeping in a restored trullo is a unique experience and often comparable in price to hotels.
Catch the view from Santa Lucia: The terrace by the Santa Lucia church gives a classic panorama over the trulli rooftops.
Visit early or late: Day-trip crowds peak midday; mornings and evenings are calmer and better for photos.

Only have a day? Each one keeps you in one area, from morning to late afternoon, with lunch nearby.
