Getting around
Arriving
Ragusa. Slow single track rail reaches Ragusa; most travellers arrive by AST bus or car. The station serves the upper town; Ibla is a further descent.
Tickets · AST (urban and regional)
The urban bus between Ragusa Superiore and Ibla saves the 300 step descent (or the climb back).
Operator app, bars near the stops.
Validate when boarding.
One bus down to Ibla in the morning heat, walk the return via the Santa Maria delle Scale steps at dusk.
On foot
- ·Ibla is the destination: Duomo di San Giorgio, the Giardino Ibleo and lanes that reward getting lost
- ·The stair walk between the two towns is the classic view, steep in both directions
Taxis and driving
- ·Drive between the towns rather than within them; Ibla's lanes are a ZTL and barely car width
