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 your eyes thanks to a direct perimeter route, ideal for those who want to see a lot in a short time and without walking.
The ride starts from the heart of Ortigia and follows the ancient perimeter of the island: along the way, the sea, the ramparts, and the unmistakable profile of the historic old town pass by in front of you. You'll be able to admire the historic walls, the waterfronts and a sequence of views of squares, noble palaces and small bays illuminated by the light of the Mediterranean, perfect for photographing even while comfortably seated.
The multilingual audio guide makes the experience even more engaging, accompanying the route with stories that blend myth and history: legends, curiosities, and anecdotes about the places you will encounter along the way, so you can experience Ortigia not only with your eyes but also through its memory.
With no intermediate stops, the tour is designed for you to relax and let yourself be guided: a true “postcard in motion”, suitable for families, couples, and small groups. It's the ideal solution to start your visit to Syracuse with an overview, or to end it with a moment of pure panoramic emotion.
