Are you planning to discover the magical nooks of Sicily's second largest city, home to several monuments on the UNESCO World Heritage List? This city built around houses of dark lava stone is not only famous for its many beautiful baroque churches, but also for Europe’s most famous volcano, Etna. You can visit this dormant dangerous beauty on your own or with a tour guide (if you want to go inside the crater).

Other interesting Catania sights:

  • Castello Ursino castle
  • Benedictine monastery, listed among UNESCO World Heritage sights
  • Fountain of the Elephant (“La fontana dell'Elefante”)
  • The central Piazza del Duomo square adjacent to the main shopping streets
  • Teatro Romano Roman theatre
  • Fish market near the Porta Uzeda city gate
