Busy and noisy, but wonderful... Very helpful citizens although the tourist information could have been a little bit better informed about the feast... All in all, a great city to visit even during the festival. great fireworks and concerts... Well, Bellini would have been proud! More

Conveniently located in Piazza Duomo; cathedral is well maintained. I was overcome with awe upon entering the church. The intricate architecture, statues, art, and entire ambience are truly to be admired. Our guide Salvatore was so knowledgeable and so passionate that he added great emotion to the entire visit.
