Things to do in Matera, Italy
Matera's ancient Sassi districts—a labyrinth of cave dwellings and rock churches carved into limestone—offer an experience unlike anywhere else in Italy. To truly grasp its layered history, consider the Secret Matera Sassi: Private Tour of the UNESCO Underground City or the Matera: Guided Tour of the Ancient Underground City & Cave Houses, both of which bring the city's millennia-old story to life.

Frequently asked questions
For the widest availability and best choice, book at least a few weeks in advance, especially during spring (April–June) and fall (September–October) when the weather is mild and crowds are smaller. If you're flexible, last-minute bookings can work, but popular tours like the Secret Matera Sassi Private Tour often sell out—so reserving early is.
