The Piazza is right beside the hotel, and very handy. It is fringed by bars including the Wunderbar (great name).
If you visit Taormina, you are highly recommended to dink an espresso and chill on the Piazza with locals as well.
The views from the Piazza IX Aprile are amazing a great place to watch the sun set. Also a fantastic place to get some stunning photo's.
Go there for the view across the bay and to Etna. Drink coffee outside and watch the people go by. Visit the church before you leave. Have a quick peek in the old library that is being renovated there.
If you want the Sicilian experience, it's here! Locals and tourists mixed together experiencing life. The views are indescribable. The sunset was stunning. You can see Mt. Etna in the background. The ocean down below. There were musicians and painters, but my favorite was seeing the people who live there just gathering and chatting. Little kids running around playing.
It's the main square of the town and it has the most fantastic view of the Giardini naxos bay and the Etna!
Very nice square in the centre of Taormina.Great restaurants and lively street music.Lots of Artists painting views or caricatures.Beautiful views across the sea.
We met our Tour Guide here and had a chance to wander around the alley ways and courtyards this was a wonderful place. the view of the Sea from the walls and the beautiful pottery that you see in most of the windows is breathtaking.
Numerous shops for shopping and eating but some were expensive. Scenery was beautiful during the Christmas season.
We spent most nights on our four-night stay in Taormina walking through this piazza and the adjoining streets. Lots of music and great food to sample.
