First time in Matera?

Matera might look like a once-in-a-lifetime destination (because it is), but it’s also brilliantly rewarding for a short break. The Sassi area is made for wandering – follow the stone stairways, dip into rock churches, and keep stopping for viewpoints that don’t look real.

Getting around: Use Trenitalia for train tickets from the airport and check Moovit for bus schedules.
Made for wandering: Matera is all about slow exploring – scenic stairways, hidden courtyards and “stop-and-stare” panoramas built into the city.
Bring comfy shoes: Matera’s famous stone lanes and steps are part of the charm – and the best viewpoints are worth the climb.

Discover Matera

Day 1: Sassi viewpoints, candlelit lanes, and your first “how is this real?” sunset.
Day 2: Rock churches, stone stairways, artisan workshops, and long, lazy trattoria lunches.
Day 3: Parco della Murgia for canyon views and photo stops that look straight out of a movie.
