Corso Umberto is Taormina's elegant main street, a pedestrianised medieval thoroughfare of boutiques, bars, gelaterie, and restaurants that runs the entire length of the hilltop town between two medieval gates. The street opens onto small piazzas at regular intervals, including the Piazza IX Aprile with its terrace views of Etna and the bay, and the Duomo square with its baroque fountain and cathedral. Hotels along or near Corso Umberto are in the absolute heart of one of Sicily's most visited and beautiful hill towns.
