2025 Modica Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#High-altitude viewing #Overseas travel The Baroque ancient city of Modica in Sicily is listed as a World Cultural Heritage along with Noto. The best way to visit Modica is to climb up one flight of stairs after another, and look out over the rows of ancient houses built against the mountain. The stone tones retain a sense of simplicity here. There are a total of 254 steps leading to the Baroque-style church Duomo di San Giorgio. In front of the church is the best viewing platform for the entire town. The houses retain the light tones of stone, giving the town a more primitive and simple feel. There are many Baroque churches in the ancient city, which are also worth visiting. #Star Writers Go Go Go #Sicily

Wandering in Modica, the baroque city of Sicily, an incredible ancient town！

#mediterraneanvibes 📍 Address: Modica, Province of Ragusa, Sicily, Italy Modica is a stunning UNESCO-listed city nestled in Sicily’s southeastern hills. Famous for its dramatic Baroque architecture cascading down steep streets, rich chocolate-making tradition, and sun-drenched plazas, it feels like stepping into a historic film set. ✨ Tips: • Wander the maze-like streets of Modica Alta and Bassa—don’t miss the Church of San Giorgio. • Try Modica chocolate, made using ancient Aztec methods—intensely flavored and grainy. • Stop at Piazza della Repubblica for café culture and scenic views. • Visit early or late to enjoy the golden light on the Baroque façades. • Climb or take the Cobblestone Staircase between the upper and lower towns for a local experience. • Ideal times: spring and autumn for pleasant weather and fewer tourists. #Modica #Sicily #BaroqueItaly #ModicaChocolate #Hilltown #UNESCOWorldHeritage #ItalianRoadTrip #CulturalEscape #HistoricSicily #TravelItaly#familytrip #historicallandmarks #trip

The Duomo di San Pietro in Modica is a must-see when you visit the city. This grand cathedral, with its stunning Baroque style predominantly in white, is truly magnificent. The church was established by San Marziano, a disciple of Saint Peter, the first bishop of Syracuse. Due to its connection with Saint Peter's disciple, the interior of the church features many motifs related to the tiara and Saint Peter. The entrance fee is €2.5 per person, which is well worth it.

#FreeHotelStay Located in the center of Modica, about a 5-minute drive from the Duomo di San Giorgio. A classic hotel that has been in business since 1780 and offers a view of the courtyard. The rooms and lobby are decorated to please fans of classic hotels, and the large bathtub with a jacuzzi is rare in Italy. The breakfast is delicious, with a selection of sweets, typical of Italy, and you won't be able to stop having second helpings in the morning. The only drawback is that you have to walk up a narrow hill to get to the center of town. Still, it's a hotel I'd like to stay at again.

#FreeHotelStay The oldest chocolate factory in Sicily, Dolceria Bonajuto, was founded in Modica in 1880. The characteristic of Bonajuto chocolate is that it is made at low temperatures following an ancient recipe of Mesoamerican origin. This is why the sugar crystals do not melt completely, resulting in a granular, rough texture! When I tried it for the first time, I was amazed by the punchy texture that blew away my concept of chocolate. I became addicted. I also participated in a tour of the factory and enjoyed tasting various chocolate sweets. I think it is a special chocolate from Italy, where chocolate is delicious.

#FreeHotelStay Modica is a World Heritage Site town that spreads out in a valley at an altitude of 300 meters. Modica's cathedral, Duomo di San Giorgio, is located in the old town, which is centered on a hill surrounded by a valley. First of all, the exterior is beautiful. The staircase, gardens, and the magnificent cathedral façade create a beautiful view. The beautiful curved design is feminine and more gorgeous than a cathedral, like a palace. The interior of the cathedral is even more elegant, with the altar and pipe organ lavishly decorated. The pale blue and gold colors stand out against the white of the ceiling and walls. There is an observation deck in front of the church, and it is nice to be able to look out over the old town.

#OverseasTravel Went to Osteria dei Sapori Perduti, a well-known local restaurant in the center of Modica, Sicily. The decoration inside is classic and simple, mainly wooden furniture, which has the warmth of home. Ordered a very homely dish, Pasta paddunedda, which was delicious. There are lots of little meatballs in the broth - plus the pasta, simple and delicious. Also ordered the Pistachio Parfait di pistacchio, a dessert similar to ice cream texture. Also, this restaurant is located on the main street under the Modica hillock, in a super convenient location, without having to climb stairs at all. 📍 Osteria dei Sapori Perduti Corso Umberto I°, 228, 97015 Modica #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel

#外游 The chocolate from Modica in Sicily is very famous, and every tourist will come to visit and taste it. Antica Pasticceria Bonajuto is the oldest chocolate shop in Sicily, with a history of more than 130 years, and the prices are surprisingly affordable~ In this shop, you can find special chocolate flavors, such as chili, pistachio, ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla, and you can also taste them on the spot. The staff said the most popular ones are Vaniglia and Cinnamon Cannella! The specialty of the shop is that it has been made at low temperature using the ancient method. The chocolate is not smooth, but retains the original texture of cocoa powder.
