Join us as we visit Matera, Italy in this travel guide covering top attractions, things to do and food worth eating in "la Città Sotterranea" (the Subterranean City).

As one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, you'll find yourself exploring caves, the historical center 'sassi' and UNESCO heritage churches along with eating delicious Italian food. An exciting announcement is that Matera was declared Italian host of European Capital of Culture for 2019.

Our visit Matera travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including a food guide to Italian cuisine, top sightseeing tourist attractions and the city by day and night including visiting churches, parks, the old town 'sassi', quirky neighborhoods, museums and caves. We also cover off-the-beaten-path outdoor activities you won't find in a typical Matera tourism brochure, Matera itinerary or Matera city tour also known as Matera, Italia.
10 Things to do in Matera, Italy Travel Guide Food Video Transcript:
One destination that’s been at the very top of our travel bucket list for a while now is Matera, and on this trip to Italy, we were determined to make it happen!
Nicknamed “the stone city”, Matera has been quite literally dug out of the rock, and it’s a sight you won’t soon forget. Set on the slope of a rocky ravine, the landscape is dominated by cave dwellings, zigzagging staircases, and early churches that hold some incredible frescoes once you set foot inside.
During our visit, we stayed in the “sassi”, which is the ancient town, and in our opinion, the best way to soak in the vibe of this place.
Now in this video, we’re going to take you on a tour of the city and show you some of the things you can see, do and eat when you visit Matera.
Matera is well-known for its rupestrian churches, carved into the rock and covered in frescoes.
We first stopped by Chiesa Rupestre di San Pietro Barisano, which is the largest rock church in the city of Matera.
We wanted to show you the frescoes, so we continued to Convento di Sant’Agostino, a church and convent dating back to the late 16th Century. We started walking uphill via a series of staircases and winding streets, until we found ourselves in front of Matera Cathedral.
The rocky landscape we noticed is called Murgia (MoorJa) National Park and it’s an archaeological site with cliffs, gorges & caves.
Let’s take a quick break to introduce you to Materan cuisine. Like most of the establishments in Matera, this restaurant was set in a cave and we ate pasta, wine & dessert?
We spent a lot of time visiting cave churches, but for a look at how locals lived in these troglodyte dwellings, we visited Casa Grotta.
The Sassi District is a made up of a network of dwellings carved into the steep slopes of the valley walking into the Casa Grotta.
We visited Palombaro Lungo, a massive water cistern that sits directly under Matera’s main square.
After visiting Palombaro Lungo, we also found ourselves in front of the ruins of Chiesa del Santo Spirito. The church sits beneath Piazza Vittorio Veneto where you can make out frescoes on the walls.
Continuing our quest for Materan cuisine, we ended up at Ristorante Nadi - another cave restaurant that we stumbled upon by chance to see if we could get through a 4 course meal.
Our final recommendation for Matera would be to explore the city at night. Matera looks magical between sunset and blue hour and it was a pleasure to wander around with camera in hand.
And that’s a wrap for Matera! We hope you guys enjoyed discovering Italy’s famed Stone City, and we’ll see you soon with more videos from Italy.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

I moved to Matera in February 2020. I go jogging every day through the Sasso Barisano (the old town) and I never get tired of the astounding views. Plus, there are very few cars in that area, so it is a perfect place to walk around and take random stairs up and down :) I've been to about 30 Italian cities and before visiting Matera, Perugia was my favorite. Now it's Matera, it's just absolutely amazing. PS. The path from the Sasso Barisano to the Parco delle Murgia (the natural area) is still closed, but there are buses leaving from the city center every hour from 10am to 5pm. It takes just 30 minutes and once you're in the Parco delle Murgia, you can go all the way down where the river is and there are many paths and hidden rock churches (then you would have to, of course, go up to return the bus stop). For those traveling on a low budget, there's a hostel called Ostello dei Sassi, so there's no excuse for not visiting this city if you are in the south. The easiest way to get here is by train from Bari with a company called Ferrovie Appulo-Lucane, a local train company that travels from Bari to Matera for 5EUR (takes 2 hours). Other towns to visit close to Matera are Castelmezzano, Pietrapetrosa and Craco. Hope it helps you're planning to visit the wonderful little city!

So my husband and I are in our late 20s and took a cross country trip by rental car through Italy (Rome to Trevisio, to Tuscany, to Amalfi, to Matera and then back to Rome) of almost 2000 miles round trip! I have to say the biggest THANK YOU for showing me Matera!!! I added it to our agenda after you posted this video and it was my FAVORITE place I’ve ever travel to!! Absolutely beautiful, felt like I was see Turkey or Isreal, just amazing. Thank you both!!

I am very exited to see and explore these two destinations in Puglia which has many similarities to or I also could say that combine features of two places in Turkey, which are Cappadocia region and the city of Mardin . I would highly recommend that you visit these places if you already have not been there.

I can try to answer that! they were basically forced out and "given" flats in the "newtown". There was a belief that the town was unhealthy and nearly impossible to do upkeep, so believe it or not, an entire townspeople were moved out without a choice in the matter. Only in recent years has there been a return and those who still had property there were able to renovate it if they wanted and return. And, I agree with you, lovely video with a lot of enthusiasm.

Great video as always! I'll be around with my wife during 3 days of next January doing tourism. I will ask you, between Matera, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare, which one is more interesting for booking a night at least, keep in mind will be winter. By the way, I'm practicing English with you. Thank you!!

Amazing video for such an underated place. Visito entro due settimane! I have to ask, what tunes are you guys playing? I really like your video camera, the slow motion and 4k is astonishing and I need that camera; but which one is it specifically?

Thank you very much! Matera is a special city. We use the Panasonic GH5 which we'd recommend highly.

Loved your video on Matera and was wondering how expensive the 2 restaurants were that you ate at. We will be there in early September. Thank you, Susan

As always, loved this video guys, thank you. As you were there in winter, did you get the sense that Matera mostly shuts down in the off season, for example in November? I’d love to stay a few nights then but of course it’s always good to know if a place is seasonal or not, as it would be a shame to stay but then find attractions and cafes etc closed. Cheers from Australia

We were there late November thru early December and we were able to visit all the attractions that were on our list (what you saw in this video). Plenty of cafes and restaurants were open, so we tried a few different places. The streets were pretty empty and devoid of tourists, which we didn't mind one bit. We felt like we had the old town to ourselves.
