FrÄgor och svar om att resa frÄn Palermo till Taormina
Is there a direct train from Palermo to Taormina?
Unfortunately, there is no direct train from Palermo to Taormina. If you are traveling by train, you should expect to encounter at least one change. Often, these changes can involve lengthy wait times, so be prepared for that when traveling between these cities.
Can you do a day trip from Palermo to Taormina?
If you leave early enough, visiting Taormina on a day trip is possible if you travel from Palermo. However, if you're interested in only visiting for a day, it's best to drive to this town with a car service like Daytrip. If you take the train or bus, you'll waste precious hours you could be using to explore the town.
How far is Taormina from Palermo by boat?
It's impossible to get from Palermo to Taormina by boat since the boat would need to go almost around half of Italy. That's why most people choose to travel by train, bus, or private car service Daytrip. If you need to get to Taormina quickly, a private car would be the best way to do so.
How long should you spend in Taormina?
Three days is just enough time to sample all Taormina has to offer. Spend a day wandering the town, another exploring the archaeological sites, and the last on the water. Plus, thatâll give you a few decadent Sicilian meals.
Which is better, Taormina or Palermo?
There is no definitive option surrounding whether Palermo or Taormina is better. However, Taormino is your best bet if you're looking for a cozy, small-town feel and want to visit a chic and interesting place. However, this doesn't mean that Palermo is a bore. On the contrary, it is a chaotic Italian city with plenty to see and do, especially for those who want to sightsee.
Is Taormina worth visiting?
Taormina is considered a resort town at this point, but if you love history and natural beauty, itâs well worth the price of admission! From the Roman ruins, medieval monuments, and sparkling waters, Taorminaâs diversity of attractions showcase everything great about Sicily. Just try to come in the spring or fall to avoid the crowds.

About Taormina
Taormina is often referred to as the most beautiful town in Sicily. It is perched upon a hilltop near the sea and is a town filled to the brim with culture and history. Not only does this town offer incredible architecture and archeology, but it also welcomes travelers with open arms.
When people say Taormina is ancient, they mean it. This town was founded by the Greeks, with their first colony settled in Taormina in 734 BC, and it was once the most important archeological place in Italy. Yet, it only became famous in the 19th century when great artists and philosophers traveled far and wide to make Taormina their home for a short while.
Centuries later, Taormina is still often visited, especially for its beaches, delicious food, and the International Film, Music, Dance, and Theatre Festival of Taormina Arte. The town also features numerous historical monuments built by the many denominations that conquered Sicily. So, when you visit, be sure to look at the culturally significant parks and architecture that the Romans, Greeks, French, Normans, Byzantines, Arabs, Swedes, and Spanish have left behind.
From Palermo to Taormina: travel tips
When traveling from Palermo to Taormina, it's important to keep a few handy travel tips in mind. Have a look below to learn a few of the best tips we would recommend:
Stop and sightsee along the way
When will you get the chance to drive from Palermo to Taormina again? If you're not sure when you'll ever be blessed with the same opportunity in the future, you might want to capitalize on the trip and add a few sightseeing stops along the way. Some of the best stops you can make when driving with Daytrip include Castello di Caccamo, Cefalu, Messina, and Mt. Etna.
Use private transportation like Daytrip
If you want to enjoy convenience and flexibility, booking private transportation is a good idea. Unlike booking a taxi, with Daytripâs door-to-door service, you can explore Taormina and many wondrous sights along the way on your own schedule. Our private drivers will get you where you need to be safely, and you won't even need to learn Italian since they speak English!
Pack the essentials
A trip to Taormina is exciting but can become stressful if you don't pack the right things. That's why we recommend packing the essentials like sunscreen, a sunhat, bottled water, and comfortable shoes. All of these items will come in handy when you stop and sightsee and when you arrive in Taormina and begin exploring.
How to get from Palermo to Taormina
Taormina is truly a sight to behold with its glistening beaches, fine dining, cliffside villas, and ancient history, so it makes sense that you would want to travel from Palermo to Taormina. But how do you do that exactly? Below, we've shared a few of the ways you can get from Palermo to Taormina if you're planning a trip to this magnificent Sicilian town.
You should also note that no ferry or boat can take you from Palermo to Taormina. Unfortunately, if you want to travel by boat or ferry, you must visit one of the other nearby towns.
From Palermo to Taormina by bus
Many buses leave Palermo and travel to Taormina once a week. If you want to catch the bus, you must go to the Palermo Centrale and buy a ticket with the Trenitalia Intercity coachline. Ticket prices vary, but they will cost between $21 and $30, and you can expect the trip to take about three hours.
From Taormina by private car
Often, the easiest way to travel from Palermo to Taormina is by private car service. With Daytrip, you will get door-to-door service and a friendly English-speaking driver who can share travel tips and insights surrounding the places you want to visit. Itâs a far more personal and memorable experience than a traditional taxi ride.
You can add sightseeing stops along the way and expect the trip to start at only âŹ83 (approximately $90) per person. You'll likely also love that traveling by private car is the fastest way to travel, with your driver knowing how to navigate the narrow coastal roads and traffic expertly.
From Palermo to Taormina by train
Traveling by train will allow you to see some of the spectacular scenery along the way. Ticket prices vary, but you can expect them to cost between $18 and $32.
However, although the train is one of the cheapest ways to travel, it is also one of the most crowded and slowest travel options. With the train, you should expect the trip to take just under five hours, and depending on the train, you could encounter one to two transfers.
Things to do when you get to Taormina
Taormina might not be large, but there is much to see and do. If you're traveling from Palermo to Taormina, below are a few of the best landmarks you can visit along the way.
Corso Umberto I
Do you have the urge to wander the streets of a Sicilian town? If so, there's no better place in the world to indulge this desire than Taormina. When visiting this Sicilian town, you can walk down the main street, Corso Umberto I, and bask in the ambiance.
There's everything from the medieval Porto Messina city gate, which offers a stunning view over the water from Piazza IX Aprile, to the city's historic fountain and cathedral, which are found at the end of the street in Piazza Duomo. No matter where you find yourself, there's shopping and socializing to look forward to in this town.
Valley of the Temples
Sicily's Valley of the Temples, found in Taormina, is worth a visit even if you aren't too interested in Roman ruins. This ancient archeological site is unique, with some of the best preserved ancient Greek ruins on earth.
These ruins are even more special because they tell the story of the Greek city of Akragas, which used to reside in Taormina in a part of Magna Graecia in the 5th century BC.
Taormina Roman Odeon
It's indisputable that the biggest attraction in Taormina is the Greek Theater or Teatro Greco, but it isn't the only theater in the town worth visiting. If you're looking for a less-traveled slice of history, you might want to check out the Roman Odeon.
The Roman Odeon is a smaller version of the Teatro Greco that was built centuries before the other, more famous theater in the town. In fact, this impressive Greek-style amphitheater was built in the 2nd century and could seat 200 people!
When is the best time to visit Taormina?
When you visit Taormina will depend on your travel preferences, but we recommend visiting during the late spring or early fall, in April, May, June, and October. Temperatures range from 65-80° F, which is perfect for outdoor adventures or just taking in the view from the belvedere. Youâll avoid the summer crowds, enjoy mild weather, many festivals, and cheaper hotels.
Between June and September is the hottest time of year, with temperatures reaching an average high of 86° F (30° C). Itâs ideal for enjoying the seemingly endless summer days in a Mediterranean climate. But itâs also peak season, so this time of year is usually busy with higher hotel prices and larger crowds.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âThree trips with stop overs; Trapani to Cefalu (Segesta), Cefalu to Taormina (Tindari), Taormina to Palermo. Excellent drivers, on time , careful, and reliable. Extremely easy to book on line. Lots of good on line communications. Would highly recommendâ
