Strada dei cappelli
The Strada dei cappelli in Alberobello is a distinctive part of the UNESCO World Heritage Trulli settlement. You'll find it in the historic Rione Monti quarter, where the unique cone-shaped buildings form the backdrop. Originally, these Trulli were homes, but today many house small shops specializing in local crafts. The street owes its name to the abundance of stalls offering a wide selection of headwear – from traditional straw hats to modern souvenirs with Trulli motifs. Here, you can experience Alberobello's authentic flair and simultaneously search for a special memento. Our tip: Pay attention to the details of the Trulli architecture, which is also visible in the shops. For a relaxed shopping experience and to avoid the crowds, an early morning or late afternoon visit is recommended. This also gives you better opportunities for undisturbed photos of the picturesque alley.
