Question 2

Is Agrigento walkable?

Accepted Answer

In town, Via Atenea, the cathedral, and viewpoints are easy to walk. The Valley of the Temples is about 3 kilometres from the centre and the site is spread out, so walking there and back can be tiring, especially in summer.

City buses 1 and 2 from Agrigento Centrale or Piazzale Rosselli run to the Valley of the Temples and on to San Leone. For a relaxed visit to the temples or a side trip to Scala dei Turchi without parking stress, consider a private tour in Agrigento with private transportation.
