The city of Catania boasts a splendid historic center, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its architectural wonders, as well as 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 patron saint of the city), the Bellini Theater, the popular markets, Via Etnea, the magnificent Monastery of the Benedictines (home to the Department of Humanities at the University), and Mount Etna are just some of the wonders of this city. Of course, it’s impossible to overlook the culinary delights of Catania’s tradition, such as arancini (yes, here they are referred to in the masculine!), iris (fried or baked cream-filled pastries), olivette di Sant’Agata, and brioche with granita. All must be tried. And for lovers of grilled horse meat, a symbol of Catania’s culinary tradition, an unmissable stop is Via del Plebiscito, a street in the historic center, filled with the unmistakable aroma of always-burning grills. Another unmissable stop just outside Catania is the coast, particularly the Gulf of Acitrezza, a charming location chosen by Giovanni Verga as the setting for his most famous novel, I Malavoglia.



Catania Fontanarossa Airport can be reached in 15 minutes by car.
