The city of Messina is the third largest city on the Italian island of Sicily of 231798 (2019) inhabitants. It’s located on the northeastern coast, close to the Italian mainland. Messina has plenty to offer in terms of both cultural, architectural and naturistic experiences. The devastating earthquake in 1908 damaged many of the original buildings of the centre which, contrary to its devastation, allowed the city to blossom in a more modern Belle Époque atmosphere. The small spaces you’ll meet in many other cities is not as prominent in Messina as it consists mainly of turn-of-the-century buildings, and broader streets, which brings a more aerial feeling to the city areas. Despite the modern architecture and city planning, Messina still hosts historical sights like the Piazza del Duomo, where the city’s cathedral lies. It’s said to be the largest in the world. Close by lies the 12th-century Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani, which is a great example of an Arab-Norman construction. You’ll be able to reach a lot by foot, but within the city borders, you’ll also be able to jump on the tramway, which runs through most of the city and is 7.7 km long.

Messina is the perfect place to settle for people looking for a less touristy, yet still authentic and stunning city in southern Europe. The fact that the city is located right on the coast means there are plenty of beaches within reach of the city either by foot or car. Here you can either lay and just feel the sun of the south, or jump into the waters and experience several hundreds of underwater species either with a snorkel from the surface or get real close on a scuba diving tour.

Messina is not one of the most visited cities in Italy, and is mostly passed by tourists going to the capital of Sicily. This however means the local life of the city has had the opportunity to grow and build a welcoming society full of social events for locals.

The cuisine in the city won’t disappoint either, and there are many possibilities within the gastronomical scene, not to mention the energetic nightlife. Messina is amongst many other things known to be a meeting point for many students across the regions close by. They meet here to grab a drink and go dancing, which means the city is typically bustling with life on the weekend nights.
