Italy is a fascinating country with a rich culture and diverse landscape that spreads far beyond its major cities. Tucked into its “heel” in the region of Puglia is Alberobello, a commune whose history dates all the way back to the 1500s. Today, Alberobello continues to serve as a home to about 10,000 people as well as a unique destination for travelers looking to catch a glimpse of the past. Read on to learn more about what this charming little town has to offer.

Alberobello is most famous for its distinct cone-shaped buildings, which are known locally as trulli. These traditional limestone houses have their own designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site, standing as examples of a prehistoric building technique that’s still used within the region. 

The district’s largest number of trulli can be found in its southern side, in a neighborhood called Rione Monti. Wandering through its narrow cobblestone streets, you’ll find yourself immersed in a fairytale-like village, where the structures now function mainly as small shops and businesses.

Beyond its enchanting architecture, Alberobello offers an array of delightful experiences for tourists. The Trullo Sovrano, the only two-story trullo in the town, has been transformed into a museum that now showcases antique furniture and tools. Afterward, be sure to stop into one of the town’s restaurants for a bite of authentic Apulian cuisine. The region is best known for focaccia and pastas like orecchiette, which go perfectly with a glass of local wine.

If you’re an avid traveler who goes on trips around the world multiple times a year, you’re probably always on the hunt for new destinations to visit, especially if you’ve already checked off most of the usual bucket list locations. So to help you come up with ideas for where to go in 2022, here are three unique destinations that we’d recommend checking out.

Moravia, Czech Republic

While Prague is one of the more popular places to visit in Europe, the Czech Republic also has plenty of other cool areas you can visit. One of our favorites is Moravia, the easternmost province. It’s home to Podyjí National Park, which has some of the most beautiful unspoiled forests in the world.

Aeolian Islands, Italy

An archipelago of seven islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Sicily, the Aeolian Islands are a destination that is bound to get famous sooner or later because they have so much to offer, and plenty of diversity even between the islands themselves.

Nova Scotia, Canada

One of the less popular provinces in Canada, Nova Scotia is a perfect destination for people who love water, as it is almost entirely surrounded by ocean. Enjoy seaside bicycle paths, quaint fishing villages, and some of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the world.
