About Matera
When rain settles over Matera, the Sassi's stone lanes and cave churches take on a hushed, intimate atmosphere that suits slow, restorative experiences rather than hurried sightseeing. You can stay sheltered and still see the city — a Guided Tour of the Sassi of Matera keeps you moving through the historic quarters with a local guide, while the Matera: San Giorgio Underground, underground tour with audio guide takes you beneath the streets entirely, out of the weather. Both fit the mood of a damp day: warm, enclosed, and unhurried.

Frequently asked questions
Rain actually improves some of Matera's best experiences. The Sassi's cave churches, rock-hewn dwellings and underground cisterns are enclosed spaces where weather barely matters, and the stone streets are quieter and more atmospheric when wet.
