Plan your visit

For Riti della Settimana Santa, choose the sessions or activities you want to attend in Taranto first, then build the rest of your day around them. Check the current programme’s dates, venues and entry conditions before booking travel. Information about a series or an earlier edition does not replace the programme for your intended visit.

For a procession, parade or public celebration, choose the part of the programme you want to see before selecting a viewing point. Check the route, gathering time and any street restrictions; being in the city on an event day does not guarantee a view of every stage.

For mobility or sensory needs, contact the operator of the specific venue. Discuss the route and assistance you need, including the journey from the stop or parking area. Plan the return separately, especially after an evening event.
