MOOM / Matera Olive Oil Museum
Local history museum
👍👍 When we arrived we weren't sure they were ready for us. It needs booking in advance. The father of the family gave us superb audiovisual guides in English.. He then accompanies you around the museum and at first we thought this was odd but then realised that at each stop he added either an explanati...

Complesso Rupestre San Giorgio - Matera
Museum
👍👍 It was a really good experience, our guide, Valerio was really nice with us, he has high level knowledge about the “caves” and speaks english really well.

Sasso Caveoso
Historical place
👍👍 Matera is magical. It may be one of the oldest continually occupied cities in the world. Settled by the Romans since 251 BC. Stepping into the Sassi area is a trip back in time. It is now a grey monument to many cultures. Families lived in caves without running water until 1960s when people moved aw...

Laboratory Museum of Rural Life
Local history museum
👍👍 A dive into the ancient traditions of our grandparents. The entrance ticket costs €4 and it takes less than an hour to visit. It collects tools, documents, tools, environments, testimonies of a past of work and sacrifices. You really have to look at every little corner because it can tell a story.

Cripta di Santa Maria della Palomba
Shrine
👍👍 Un piccolo santuario che nasconde un tesoro molto più bello a destra dell'altare maggiore, da dove si accede nella chiesa antica, refettorio e cucina dei pellegrini, una cantina risalenti ai primi secoli del millennio scorso. All'esterno si gode della visuale paesaggistica della gravina di Matera.

Gravina di Matera
Nature preserve
👍👍 Die Gravina Schlucht ist in wunderschönen Natur, mit Höhlen, Hängebrücke und schönen Wanderwegen eingebettet. Ganz Matere ist einen Ausflug unbedingt wert. Ende April waren weniger Touris unterwegs.

Belvedere di Piazza Giovanni Pascoli
Observation deck
👍 The place gives its best in the SUNSET, when lights are on and one starts seeing a never ending Nativity Scene. Simply TO CONTEMPLATE. That's all. It's worth spending a while to imagine... and empathize with big feelings of ancient sharing such as only very aged people have really experienced.

Matera Tourist Information | Guided Tour Matera
Tourist information center
👍👍 Abbiamo partecipato ad una visita guidata dei Sassi di Matera della durata di 2 ore. La nostra guida Antonia è stata a dir poco eccezionale, coinvolgente, estremamente preparata sulla storia della città e dell'architettura. Mai trovata una guida così! Visita che vale il viaggio!

Chiesa Rupestre di San Nicola all'Ofra
Historical place
😠 There is nothing to be seen here. The place is a complete ruin, the entry is barred by a brick wall. It is 4,5 km one way on foot from Matera (9 km return) and it makes no sense to reach here. Waste of time.

Casa Cisterna
Tourist attraction
👍👍 E' una casa identica a quelle definite "Grotta" solo un poco più grandi perché avevano, al loro interno, la lavorazione del grano e delle cisterne di raccolta d'acqua piovana come scorta per l'uso quotidiano.
Molto consigliata perché, a parte costare solo 3 euro, il racconto è ben strutturato, io mi...

Alvino 1884
Hotel
😐 The location, which is 1.5 km from the city centre, is stupendous, imposing and elegant. The rooms are all large, soundproofed, well air-conditioned and clean, the bathrooms bright with noteworthy showers. Unfortunately it cannot be evaluated, at the moment, with more than three stars due to the se...
