Popular Tour Itineraries Featuring Ragusa

We recommend spending two nights in Ragusa to allow ample time to explore the city, whether on your own or with a tour, and perhaps enjoy some hiking as well.

Ragusa is generally more affordable compared to other popular tourist destinations in Sicily. A typical meal at a mid-range restaurant costs between €15 and €30 per person. Attractions and cultural sites usually have entry fees ranging from €5 to €20. Public transportation is affordable, with bus fares typically around €1.50 for a single journey. Overall, Ragusa offers good value for money, especially considering its rich history and beautiful surroundings.

Getting around Ragusa is easy, especially within Ragusa Ibla, the historic center, which is small and best explored on foot. If you wish to travel to other areas, such as Marina di Ragusa (the coastal area) or nearby towns like Noto, Modica, or Taormina, public buses are a convenient option. You can check routes and schedules for the area's buses at Tuminobus.

Ragusa is considered a safe destination for visitors. Like most places in Sicily, it has a low crime rate, and violent crime is rare. However, as with any tourist destination, it’s always important to stay alert, especially in crowded areas, and keep an eye on your belongings. The town is peaceful, and locals are friendly and welcoming. Just take the usual precautions, like not leaving valuables unattended and staying aware of your surroundings.

As a small town, Ragusa may not have many dedicated vegan or gluten-free restaurants, but Sicilian cuisine is incredibly diverse. You'll find plenty of delicious vegetarian and gluten- or dairy-free options, and the waitstaff are happy to assist by explaining the ingredients in different dishes.
