YOU'RE GONNA LOVE Catania

East coast of Sicily, Vulcano Etna view, historical city, and beautiful nature - sounds captivating, right? All this and much more you can enjoy in this great city of Italy - Catania.

Catania is full of baroque-style buildings and with Greek and Roman ruins standing alongside, which gives it a very special atmosphere. To get the best out of this city we recommend to start by exploring the city center. You shouldn't miss Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata, the Greek-Roman theatre, the Fountain of the Elephant, and Villa Bellini. You can be sure that everything on the way will be breathtaking as well!

For the best views, don't forget to look at Catania from above. Free up some evening to enjoy sunset, city, and Mount Etna views from a rooftop terrace. We would suggest the Ostello Degli Elefanti rooftop bar for this activity, as it has a beautiful terrace with a panoramic view.

Hiking adventure to Mount Etna, the active volcano of Sicily, is something that active travelers would love! Many different complexity levels of hiking, amazing views, and fascinating nature - enjoy that all!

Catania is also the top place to go for food lovers, as the food culture there is very diverse and vibrant. Starting from gelato and pastries and ending with fish dishes and great vine - everything there is excellent. Explore local cafes, restaurants, markets, and bars to try it all out!
