Discover Ortigia from a comfortable and panoramic perspective, seated aboard the Happy Train tourist train. In 40 minutes, you can take in the entire island with a direct tour of its perimeter, ideal for those who want to see a lot in a short time without walking.
The tour departs from the heart of Ortigia and follows the island’s ancient perimeter: along the way, the sea, the ramparts, and the unmistakable silhouette of the historic centre pass by before your eyes. You'll be able to admire the historic walls, the waterfronts, and a series of views of squares, stately mansions, and small coves bathed in Mediterranean light – perfect for taking photos without even leaving your seat.
To make the experience even more immersive, a multilingual audio guide accompanies the tour with stories spanning myth and history: legends, interesting facts, and anecdotes about the places you will encounter along the way, allowing you to experience Ortigia not only with your eyes but also through its history.
With no stops along the way, this tour is designed for you to relax and let yourself be carried away: a true “postcard in motion,” suitable for families, couples, and small groups. It’s the perfect way to start your visit to Syracuse with an overview of the city, or to end it with a truly breathtaking panoramic experience.
