The city of Catania boasts a splendid historical center, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its architectural wonders, but also the liveliness of the popular markets, the wild beauty of Mount Etna, and the clear sea of the coast will captivate you.
The Cathedral of Sant'Agata (the city's patron saint), the Bellini Theatre, the popular markets, Via Etnea, the splendid Benedictine Monastery (home of the University's Department of Human Sciences), and Mount Etna are just some of the wonders of this city.
Of course, it is impossible to leave out the culinary delicacies of the Catania tradition, such as arancini (yes, here they are called masculine!), iris (fried or baked stuffed bombs), Olivette di Sant'Agata and brioche with granita. Try them all!
And for lovers of barbecued horsemeat, a symbol of Catania's gastronomic tradition, a must is Via del Plebiscito, a street in the historic center flooded with the unmistakable scent of the embers always burning.
Another not-to-be-missed stop just outside Catania is the coast and in particular the Gulf of Acitrezza, an enchanting place that with its Faraglioni stacks was chosen by Giovanni Verga as the setting for his most famous novel, 'I Malavoglia'.
Catania Fontanarossa Airport is easily reached in 15 minutes by car, while Catania Centrale Station is 2.3 km away.
