Towns and cities in Sicily

When it comes to cities and towns to explore in Sicily, there's an embarrassment of choice. Wherever you go, history, fine architecture, fabulous restaurants and buzzing bars are all around you.

The capital, Palermo, is the fifth largest city in Italy, and, like Erice and Marsala, has ancient Phoenician roots. Syracuse, Catania and Palazzolo Acreide are Graeco-Roman at heart; Monreale and Cefalù boast sublime Norman cathedrals; the UNESCO World Heritage Site towns of the Val di Noto (including Noto, Ragusa, Modica and Scicli) are effervescent examples of late baroque brilliance.
