Ragusa, Sicily | A Fairytale Hill Town Straight from a Ghibli Film

✨ A Hidden Gem That Stole My Heart I’d never heard of Ragusa before visiting—but now, it’s my #1 secret love in Italy! This "divided city" perches between: Ragusa Superiore (the "upper town" on the hill) Ragusa Ibla (the medieval dream in the valley) Connected by a bridge, it feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli painting! 📸 Must-Do Magic 1️⃣ Duomo di San Giorgio 🏛️ The Baroque masterpiece of Ibla—climb its steps for postcard views over terracotta rooftops. 2️⃣ Giardino Ibleo at Sunset 🌅 Golden hour turns the town into a watercolor palette. Bring your camera! 3️⃣ Get Lost in Ibla’s Alleys 🌀 Every flower-filled balcony and aged stone arch whispers centuries-old stories. 🍝 Eat Like a Local Trattoria da Carmelo: Hidden alley spot with homemade pasta (try the ricotta-filled ravioli!). Caffè Sicilia: For cannoli so crisp, they sing when you bite. 🚗 How to Get There From Catania: ~2h drive (rent a car for freedom!) Parking: Easy near Piazza della Repubblica (then wander down to Ibla). #Ragusa #SicilySecret #ItalyOffTheBeatenPath
