Once you feel comfortable on your two-wheeler, journey out into the streets, following your guide toward the neighborhood of Ortygia.

Continue down the main street toward the Fountain of Aretusa, one of Syracuse’s most beautiful ancient monuments. Check out the surrounding Gothic architecture and head to the bustling center square, the Piazza del Duomo, home to City Hall, the Archbishop’s Palace, the colonnaded Duomo and more.
