• Messina - Visit the Norman Duomo with its impressive carved altar and a huge inlaid organ; the Bell Tower with the world’s largest astronomical clock in the Piazza del Duomo and the Museo Regionale holding two major late works by Caravaggio and an amazing collection of art rescued from the 1908 earthquake.

• Taormina - The most important attraction is the Greek Theatre, situated at the very top of a hill from where you could admire the spectacular view of the Mount Etna; other things to do in Taormina is a visit to the public gardens linked to the Scottish noblewoman Florence Trevelyan and to the IX April square, one of the best viewpoints of the town.

• Catania - The Cathedral square is the beating heart of the historical centre with the symbol of the city “u Liotru” or the Elephant Fountain assembled in 1736 by Giovanni Vaccarini. The top attraction in Catania is the Massimo Theatre, inaugurated in 1890 with the Catanian composer’s Norma Vincenzo Bellini to which it is dedicated.
