Luggage storage in Matera

Sassi caves hide no cloakrooms, and an Airbnb won't hold your bag after ten. Whether you have hours before a train or a late flight out, we keep your hands free in Matera.

The city's own luggage options are limited: one museum has a cloakroom for small bags, while the local buses restrict what you can carry. For everything else, you will need to plan ahead. For example, a third-party facility at Vico I° Cappelluti n.11 provides a dedicated storage option in the city. The city is best known for its ancient Sassi, a rock-cut urban landscape designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 8 locations across Matera.

Some top Stasher locations in Matera include:

• Local shop, 1-minute walk from Matera Centrale
• Local shop, 3-minute walk from Sassi di Matera · open late
• Restaurant, 4-minute walk from Villa Unità d'Italia
• Local office, 14-minute walk from Stadio "XXI Settembre - Franco Salerno"

Arriving by air or rail

Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport is the nearest airport, roughly 60–65 km from Matera. Direct shuttle buses, operated by the Cotrab/Cotrap consortium, run from the airport to Matera daily, including Sundays and holidays, with stops at Piazza Giacomo Matteotti and the FAL station at Villa Longo. Matera Centrale itself, at Piazza della Visitazione, is the main arrival point for FAL trains from Bari. If you come via Salerno instead, the FrecciaLink bus ends at Viale Nazioni Unite 5, which is a separate stop from the railway station.

Getting around with your bags

The Linea Sassi bus connects the Via Saragat parking area to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso, so it is the practical link from the car parks into the Sassi if you are dragging luggage. Miccolis buses, which run in and around the city, restrict what you can bring on board by size, so a bag that is fine on a train may not be accepted here.

Sights and bag rules

The Ridola Museum lets visitors leave a backpack or bag at its cloakroom near the refreshment room, which is useful for a lighter visit. Miccolis buses are wheelchair-accessible with dedicated spaces, but the same size limits for luggage still apply to everyone.

If you are heading to the Matera Film Festival, held from 7 to 15 November 2026, the museum cloakroom will not cover a full suitcase, so arrange storage before the screening.

Coming from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, the AMTAB line 16 bus to Bari Centrale takes around 35 minutes before you change for Matera, and shuttle tickets can be bought online via Marozzi or on board subject to availability. The shuttle bus service connecting Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport to Matera (Viale Aldo Moro) is operated by the Cotrab/Cotrap consortium.
