Messina City Tour 360°: city, coast and mountains
Overview
This Messina city tour is the best opportunity to live and explore the city at 360°, from 3 different points of view and off-the-beaten-path locations. At the beginning of the tour, we will drive you to the northernmost point of Sicily, Cape Peloro. Here you are going to have a detailed and “deep” meeting with the Strait of Messina and will understand more about the distinctive characteristics of an area of outstanding natural beauty.
After having explored the Cape, this Messina city tour will get you to know the city center and its historical monuments; the city is mainly known for the astronomical clock in the Cathedral Square, which every day at noon charms visitor, and even the busy citizens stop for 10 minutes to enjoy the movement of the statues, listening to the Ave Maria. After lunch, we will continue with the visit of Mt Dinnammare, at 3300 ft asl. Here, the Sanctuary of Madonna di Dinnammare will welcome you.
