View All HotelsHotels with Breakfast Included in Agrigento — What to Expect
The true heart of Agrigento is found in its ancient past. The Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the overwhelming reason to visit, where the colossal Temple of Concordia stands remarkably intact against the Sicilian sky. Beyond the archaeological park, the city’s historic center, centered around Via Atenea, offers a maze of Baroque churches and lively cafes where the pace of modern life continues. A short drive reveals the stunning Scala dei Turchi, a blinding white marl cliff that drops into the turquoise Mediterranean.
For exploring the temples and the old town, staying in central Agrigento provides the most convenience. The city is ideal for history enthusiasts, couples, and families with older children, given the amount of walking involved. While primarily a leisure destination, it’s well-connected by train from Palermo and Catania, and having a car makes visiting the more remote beaches and countryside much easier.
Accommodation here ranges from simple B&Bs in historic buildings to modern hotels with views of the temples. You’ll find a good selection of mid-range and boutique options, like the Hotel Costazzurra, which offers a pool and is a short drive from the archaeological zone. Many smaller guesthouses in the centro storico provide an authentic and charming base for your stay.
