The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Messina, Sicily
At Sicily’s northeast tip, Messina is the first city being kicked by mainland Italy’s boot, just three miles across the Strait of Messina. It's a main port of entry for visitors via hydrofoils and ferries. Trains board the ferry, too, before continuing service. The 12th-century Norman cathedral, rebuilt after a 1908 earthquake destroyed it and much of the town, is the most famous attraction.

Wife and I visited on August 11, 2019. The restaurateurs were awesome. Food was great, a must stop. One of the owners actually walked my wife and I around for an hour and a half to point out the sights. So, later we decide to try out the food. We ate ourselves silly and had three drinks. Two for me and one for the wife. He chose the food and wine. It is right across the street and a little diagonally to the right from the exit from the cruise terminal. Could not have found a better restaurant.

10. Duomo di Messina
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,240 reviews
This Cathedral, a fine example of Sicilian Norman architecture, has retained its original medieval lines even after a long history: built under Roger II, consecrated in 1197, destroyed in the 1908 earthquake and rebuilt.

We visited Messina on a rainy day which meant that there were not very many people about. The clock tower is a beautiful structure and parts of it move as it chimes on the hour. Inside the cathedral the striking feature are the wooden beams across the ceiling with beautiful detailing on them. Its definitely worth a visit whilst in Messina although when we visited we had to split it into two parts as when we first visited at about lunchtime they closed the cathedral but were able to return later in the afternoon.
