The tour continues along Via Garibaldi, until you reach the seafront of the strait and the renowned Passeggiata a Mare, and walk along the coast road to return to the city.
The various stops along the route allow you to easily reach the Teatro Vittorio Emanuele, the lovely Villa Mazzini, with the Municipal Aquarium, and the Regional Museum which boasts works by Caravaggio, Antonello Da Messina and Girolamo Alibrandi.
