What to expect
Expect a steady pace through Altamura's compact old town, where narrow lanes open onto churches and squares. Your guide will point out architectural details, explain the town's role in regional history, and discuss the famous bread-making tradition that still defines the place. The walk covers uneven medieval streets with some elevation changes. Bring water and comfortable shoes—there are few places to sit or eat along the route, so plan meals before or after.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for cobblestones. The tour doesn't include food or beverages. Peak summer heat can make walking tiring; consider morning departures.
