Welcome to Catania
Gritty and grand, Catania’s reputation as little more than a convenient transport hub for eastern Sicily underplays the city’s UNESCO-listed old town, home to a heady mix of baroque architecture and bustling street life. Marvel at the magnificent Piazza del Duomo, dive into the fray at La Pescheria market, and tuck into a heaping dish of pasta alla Norma before abandoning this vibrant city to explore Mount Etna’s lunar landscape and lush wineries or the historic towns of Taormina and Syracuse farther south along the coast.
