Bar Rione Monti di Palmisano Caterina

Alberobello is famous for its collection of Trulli, traditional dry-stone dwellings which are only found in the Itria valley. Although there are many Trulli scattered around this region, Alberobello represents the largest collection of original buildings, many of which are still occupied. Alberobello was made a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1996. Rione Monti di Palmisano Caterina is a unique restaurant and gift shop. They sell local handmade gifts along with hats, T-shirts, maps, and local foods.

This location is at the top of a steep pedestrian-only path/street. It's kind of difficult to find. If you walk up the street with the most souvenir shops (all built in Trulli style), you'll eventually find this location. It's a 4 minute walk (722 feet / 220 meters) up Via Monte San Michele from Via Indipendenza.

Hours of operation: Monday through Sunday 07:00 (7:00 am) to 21:30 (9:30 pm).
