Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, head towards Matera from your current location in Puglia. Use the SS7 or A14 highway depending on your starting point. Once you arrive in Matera, follow the signs to the city center. Navigate to Via D'Addozio, where the Convent of Saint Agostino is located. There is street parking available nearby, but be mindful of any parking regulations. The drive from the coast of Puglia (e.g., Bari) typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic.

• Public Transportation (Train)

  If you prefer to use public transportation, take a train from Bari or Lecce to Matera. Trenitalia operates trains that connect these cities. Upon arriving at the Matera train station, you can either take a taxi or a local bus into the city center. The taxi ride will take approximately 10 minutes and should cost around €10-15. Alternatively, local buses also run frequently and are a more economical option, costing about €2.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  Another option is to take a bus from various cities in Puglia to Matera. Companies like FlixBus and Busitalia offer routes from larger cities such as Bari and Lecce. The bus journey can take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. Once you arrive at the Matera bus station, you can walk to the Convent of Saint Agostino, which is about a 15-minute walk away. Follow signs toward the city center, then navigate to Via D'Addozio.
