Sassi and Belvedere's Panoramic Tour in an Open-Top bus with an on-board tour leader is an easy and fun way to discover the most important historical sites of the city. Starting from Piazza Matteotti, central bus station, the bus goes into the very heart of the old city, leading along the beautiful views of Civita and Gravina. During the tour, you will see historically important buildings such as the Convent of St. Agostino. Arriving at Caveoso square, at the foot of the Monterrone cliff, you will visit a traditionally furnished cave dwelling 'casa grotta del Vicinato' - proof of how the poor inhabitants of Matera had lived until the mid-fifties before departing for the Murgia highland. During the trip, the guide will explain the history of the natural park and its rock settlements. The Belvedere is the greatest panoramic viewpoint of the Sassi, where you will have 15 minutes to enjoy the landscape.
