Walking around the city of Ragusa is the perfect way to see and experience the city center, both Ibla (Old Town) and Ragusa Superiore. Ibla does have some cobblestone areas and some steps to be aware of. The Ibla and Ragusa Superiore meet at the small Piazza della Reubblica. The upper town can be reached by an active climb or by local bus from the Giardino Ibleo or Piazza della Repubblica. The decent from the upper town is beautiful, via flights of steps towards Ibla, with the hilltop town spread out before your eyes, offers a beautiful panorama.

AST (www.aziendasicilianatrasporti.it) is the main bus service that provides urban transport services for the city. The main urban bus terminus is the `Nodo Zama` which is next to the intercity bus station and the `Nodo Piazza del Popolo`, next to the railway station. If heading towards Ibla (old town) take buses 11 and 33 (hourly to 9 pm), or line 1 (on Sundays and holidays), or line 3 (at night). Bus tickets are available from various news stalls and tabachi. Day passes cost around €2.

If you don`t want to make the steep climb linking Ibla (Old Town) with Superiore (Modern Town), you can take the city bus departing from in front of the cathedral or from Piazza del Popolo. It`s a steep ride. The bus will let you off in Ibla (Old Town) at Piazza Pola or Giardini Iblei, which are most central for exploring the medieval and baroque town.

There is a taxi station/office at the beginning of Ragusa Ibla in Piazza della Repubblica and there are taxis at the train station in the new Ragusa.

We do not recommend driving while in Ragusa, the city traffic can be chaotic, and once you arrive, it is not necessary. For parking, there are signposted parking in several points outside Ibla. The principal parking lot (with a fee) is in the valley below Piazza della Repubblica and Ibla. There is also car parking by the Giardino Ibleo.
