One of Lipari Town's great pleasures is simply wandering its streets, lapping up the laid-back island atmosphere. Lipari's liveliest street is Via Vittorio Emanuele , a cheerful thoroughfare lined with bars, cafes, restaurants and delis. The street really comes into its own in early evening, when it's closed to traffic and the locals come out for their passeggiata (evening stroll).
Another atmospheric area is Marina Corta , down at the end of Via Garibaldi, a pretty little marina ringed by popular bars and restaurants.
