What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads a meandering walk through Polignano's compact centre. Expect narrow passageways, sudden vistas, and plenty of stopping points while your guide talks through the place. You'll pop into a local café for coffee—the kind regulars drink, not tourist versions. The pace is leisurely; there's no rushing between monuments. You'll see residential doors, laundry lines, and the small details that reveal how the town actually functions. Most paths are pedestrian-only and uneven in places, though the route avoids steep climbs.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes with decent grip; some stones are worn smooth. Bring water. The tour works in most weather but can feel cramped in heavy rain. Prams and strollers manage the main route; check accessibility of the café ahead of time.
