What to bring

• Ticket code: Enter your ticket code on the Roamer redemption page before you set off, while you still have signal.
• Phone and earphones: Bring a fully charged phone and earphones to listen to the self-guided audio tour.
• Connectivity: Use mobile data if possible, or open the tour on Wi-Fi before departure if you will be offline.
• Footwear: Wear flat shoes with good grip, as Ortigia's paving is old and worn.
• Sun protection: Bring sun protection and water, especially in summer when the island has little shade.

Accessibility

• Alla Giudecca bath: This stop is unsuitable for visitors with reduced mobility due to about 58 steep steps and no alternative route.
