Sicily is a beautiful place with everything you can desire. Cities are cultural gems, nature is wild and ancient, the food is absolutely mouthwatering, and the people are as hearty as their pasta. You have Etna, the volcano, which means you can combine mountain hikes and natural wine tasting with beach days and aperitivo time.
Posted: April 16, 2025Experienced: June, 2021Sicily is a beautiful but expensive place. The food is very good, the Italian food is amazing. Getting around by car is quite an adventure, and it's not very safe. Some cities aren't very safe, and some areas are best avoided. During the day, it's not a problem.

The visit was so awesome 🥰 Catania and Palermo are very beautiful and fun, also the smaller cities are very beautiful. As an Austrian, it was also for the nicer weather a perfect escape to gain some sunny endorphins 😎

I traveled with my good friend (female as well). We had bought interrail ticket and went with the flow, which got us to Sicily. It was last year in February. It was off season, so finding acomodation was quite easy and very affordable. We tried local weird food, Stigghiola for example (google it lol). But as we did not eat in any fancy restaurants or stuff like that, I can't say that it felt safe, eating some of the street crazy stuff. I must recommend visiting Ragusa. Beautiful place, especially at night. Taormina as well (and dont be lazy, take the stairs, it is worth it). Palermo was okay, we did not have much time, so I cant really say. Catania was nice, but we got a super cheap hostel right next to the ghetto and it was quite dangerous. We had to be cautious. But at the same time it was exciting. All the little streets, small vendors, grandma with delicious cake. Great experience. So over all.. I recommend going to Sicily.. please pick your hostels carefully, dont pet the dogs obviously and if you feel bad about some street or a road, dont go. Trust your intuition. ♥️
Posted: August 6, 2024Sicily is very beautiful! Excellent food, sea’s to swim into. I like the authentic vibe and the beautiful mountains. And the air itself also. It breaths nice haha. I recommend eating arancini. Also it feels very safe to be there, even the whole night
