THE BEST REVIEW

Well Maintained : Great historical site. It's well preserved and has a beautiful view from the stands. Go early and enjoy the site to yourself. You'll feel like you're an ancient Greek waiting for the performance to begin. We have visited many historical sites and this is one of the best maintained and preserved.

THE BEST REVIEW

Phenomenal collection of Art: You will need a couple of hours to appreciate and explore the 2700 years history of Messina. The wall-size Caravaggios and the statue of Neptune are genuinely remarkable. The exhibitions are a testimony to the artistic sense of the artists. Indeed a beautiful place to visit.

THE BEST REVIEW

Great Views : Be there before 12 noon for a treat as the tower comes to life. The murals move, the Golden Lion squishes his gleaming tail then roars at the enthusiastic crowd. After a few moments each mural plays its part then the Rooster crows to signal the passing of time and Ave Maria plays loudly from the rooftop speaker.

Messina Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Messina, Sicily. Formerly the episcop... [..]

THE BEST REVIEW

Out Of This World : If you visit Vulcano to make the walk to the top of the mountain, then the trip is worthwhile. Different corners of the small island are interesting, with impressive viewpoints over the other Aeolic islands. Boats take you on a regular basis to Lipari and the other islands, and to Stromboli.

THE BEST REVIEW

Very Nice : Very nice place offering communing with antiquity. The walk along the archaeological area with excavations should be ended in the small museum with very interesting exhibits. The whole park is large and could be ta I get in hot weather, but worth it for the museum alone.

THE BEST REVIEW

Time Well Spent : This is where people walk, where people linger at cafés to see and be seen, where brides and grooms parade and show off her beautiful dress. Almost every day there was a wedding in one of the churches. Highly recommended.

THE BEST REVIEW

Great Place : Wonderful place for those going to Sicily! One part of the city is at sea level and another part is on top of the hill. The beach is incredible and at the top of the hill there are restaurants, souvenir shops, refrigerators, constructions, historic squares and churches and a magnificent view of the city and the sea.

THE BEST REVIEW

Great Place : Walking around the city of Messina without map, we stumbled upon this different-looking building so we went down to see what it had to offer us. It IS a church!!! It is rich in history (just google it, thanks :-) ) but to see it in person is magnificent! For someone who is keen on architecture, this is a good study!

Museo Archeologico Eoliano

THE BEST REVIEW

Excellent Museum : There are multiple buildings, dedicated to different domains of research of the islands. Make sure you have at least a couple of hours, for there is a lot to see here. Would rate as a 5, if not for a surprising siesta time for such a major museum and lack of English translations.
