Agrigento is a major tourist hub, primarily owing to the archaeological legacy of the Valley of the Temples, three kilometres below this Sicilian city. This is a misnomer, as it is not really a valley at all but a hill which is divided into two zones: the Eastern zone, containing the bulk of the impressive ruins, and the Western zone, playing host to the splendid gardens of Kolymbetra. Tourists with little time tend to focus on this area, but those on a more leisurely schedule should explore the town itself. Tucked away behind the modern city’s outer ring, a pocket of medieval areas offer bustling night-life as well as the Via Atenea at the centre - a charming suburb packed with modern boutiques, quaint cafes, and vibrant bars.
