Welcome to Matera: an Open-Air Museum

Matera is not just a city—it’s an experience you live with your eyes, your senses, and your heart. Known worldwide as “the City of Stones,” Matera boasts a historic center inhabited since prehistoric times. The Sassi of Matera, Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso, are two neighborhoods carved into limestone rock, narrating millennia of human adaptation and history.

Walking through the Sassi feels like stepping back in time: ancient cave dwellings, frescoed rock churches, tunnels carved into the stone, and breathtaking views. It’s no wonder Matera has served as the set for numerous international films, from Pasolini’s The Gospel According to Matthew to Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, and 007 - No Time to Die.

A Taxi to Explore Matera with Ease

Exploring Matera is fascinating… but can also be challenging. Its historic center is full of climbs, descents, and staircases, which can be difficult for those with limited mobility or those who simply want to enjoy their trip without hassle.

That’s why relying on a local taxi service is the smartest choice:

  • You’ll be dropped off directly at access points to the Sassi, no need to search for parking.

  • Our drivers, who know the city inside out, can offer valuable tips on what to see and how to get around.

  • We offer fast transfers to and from train stations, hotels, or restaurants, even late at night.

  • If you plan to visit museums, scenic viewpoints, or take a guided tour, our taxi can follow you through all your stops, always waiting for you comfortably.

  • Our service is available 24/7 to give you total freedom of movement—whether you're on vacation, a business trip, or traveling in a group.

Discovering the Most Charming Spots of the Sassi

With our Matera taxi service, you can plan your itinerary in a convenient and relaxed way, visiting the city’s most iconic landmarks:

  • Piazza San Pietro Caveoso: the vibrant heart of Sasso Caveoso, overlooking the ravine, with the beautiful Church of San Pietro.

  • Church of Santa Maria de Idris: carved into the rock, a masterpiece of faith and human ingenuity.

  • Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario: an authentic reconstruction of life in the Sassi before the 1950s evacuation.

  • Palombaro Lungo: an extraordinary underground cistern beneath Piazza Vittorio Veneto.

  • National Museum of Matera – Palazzo Lanfranchi: featuring artworks and insights into Lucanian culture.
