Day Trip to Cefalù | Sicily 🇮🇹

Cefalù is a picturesque coastal city located in Northern Sicily! It’s a super easy day trip from Palermo. I had such a fun time while I was here. I got to spend some time meandering around town and then taking a swim at the beach. I did spend most of my time here relaxing on the beach, but if you’re looking to do more than just relax you have quite a few options for things to do!

You can visit the Duomo di Cefalù, a massive cathedral commissioned by Ruggero II The Norman.

You can stop by the Museo Mandralisca to view the ‘Ritratto d’Ignoto’

If history isn’t really your thing you can climb the Rocca di Cefalù for some amazing views of the city.

Have you been to Cefalù? If so, how’d you like it? If not, would you go?

As always, feel free to leave any questions in the comments down below!
