2025 Locorotondo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#travelgram Locorotondo, Italy, is an absolute gem in the heart of Puglia! This small hilltop town, known for its whitewashed buildings and narrow streets, feels like stepping into a postcard. Wandering around the centro storico, I was mesmerized by the circular layout and charming balconies overflowing with flowers. The best part? The town itself is free to explore, and there’s so much beauty to take in! One of my highlights was grabbing a coffee at a local café with views of the Valle d’Itria below. It’s a perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. You can also visit the nearby towns of Alberobello (famous for its trulli) or Martina Franca, both just a short drive away. The overall vibe of Locorotondo is calm and authentic, a great contrast to the more tourist-heavy destinations. I recommend a leisurely visit, stopping for some wine at one of the local vineyards, as the region is known for its white wines. #Locorotondo #ValledItria #PugliaViews #WhitewashedBeauty #SlowTravel #ItalianCountryside

The Church of St. Nicholas of Myra was built around 1660 and really blends into the buildings around, you almost don’t notice it, but it really is a beautiful place to see. The frescoes, although not in great condition and sadly deteriorating, are still very bright and depict scenes from the life of Saint Nicholas of Myra. #celebrateit #italy #church #frescoes

I visited countless villages, towns and cities during my time in Puglia, but this particular place perched upon a hill, may just have been the most beautiful of them all. And in a region as spectacular as Puglia, that should be reason enough to visit - even if it's only for a few hours. During Christmas season,it is full of decorations around the small alley. Locorotondo is a fantastic place from which to survey the spectacular countryside around. Whilst views can be garnered from many spots in the city, for the very best vistas head to the limit of this hill-top town (easy to find in the small centro storico) and the small street that encircles its highest point. Known somewhat confusingly as the ‘lungomare’, despite being quite some distance from the sea, this route offers spectacular panoramic views of the valley below, with vineyards, olive groves, an trulli. How to get there:First take a bus to putignano then take train to Locorotondo.Whole journey ,took less than 3 hours. A day trip is sufficient for this village.😁

#EuropeTravel Locorotondo is said to be the most beautiful town in Italy. It's a small town. It's close to the World Heritage site of Alberobello, so I recommend visiting both. I visited in the summer, and the balconies were decorated with flowers, and the pure white town lit up by the midsummer sun was truly beautiful. Please come and visit! Address: Locorotondo Bari, Puglia, Italy. Access: The nearest airport is Bari Airport. I recommend chartering a taxi and visiting Locorotondo, Polignano Mare, and Alberobello all at once! You can easily visit them all in one day. #Locorotondo #ItalianTrip #Puglia #ItalianTourism
