Scamper around a real-live Hobbit town in Alberobello
ITALY // Your imagination will run riot in Alberobello, famed for its kooky, one-of-a-kind architecture. We're talking trulli - whitewashed circular dwellings with cute cone-shaped roofs, originally devised to avoid property taxes (it's a long story). Looking like they're straight out a Disney cartoon, these sunbaked houses tumble down the hillsides of Rione Monti and Rione Aia Piccola. You can dine in some, and sleep in others. Was that Snow White? Are you on Earth? Unesco seems to think so, bestowing World Heritage Status on them in 1996.
