Visit the historical centre

Catania is the second largest city in Sicily after Palermo, and has a historic centre with many monuments. You can stroll through the Piazza del Duomo, dominated by the statues and baroque colonnades of Catania Cathedral. Take your time to wander through the narrow Mediterranean streets, lined with beautiful churches and elegant houses, before stopping at a café or restaurant.

Entering the gates of Castello Ursino

This imposing medieval fortress was built by the Normans. Its walls no longer protect the inhabitants of Catania from invasions, but they house an important archaeological collection. A visit to the Municipal Museum within its walls includes ceramic vases, sculptures and numerous paintings.

Stroll through the park of Villa Bellini

The gardens of Villa Bellini, bordered by the Via Etnea, welcome you for a refreshing break in the shade of century-old trees. Numerous fountains brighten up the park, and there are playgrounds and picnic areas. The park of Villa Bellini regularly hosts concerts and events.

Visit the fish market

Catania is also a animated port town, bathed in fishy waters. The pescheria, located just behind Piazza del Duomo, invites you to enjoy an authentic and sensory experience. On the stalls you will find swordfish, lobsters, sardines and anchovies, gutted in front of you for a permanent spectacle.

Climb the majestic volcano Etna

Etna dominates Catania from its 3329 metres of altitude. Its wrath has destroyed entire neighbourhoods on several occasions, but the volcanic eruptions have also fertilised the land and contributed to the wealth of the region. To reach the crater, you must be accompanied by a guide.
