The city of Catania is situated on the East Coast of Sicily, in the middle of Mediterranean sea, fascinating people of all over the world with its colours, its perfumes and its day and night "movida". A place full of art, archaeology, history, folklore and breathtaking scenaries.
The city is very close to all the world famous Sicily landmarks: the impressive volcano Etna, Europe's bigget volcano; the charming town of Taormina with its panorama of the small island of "Isola Bella"; Siracusa that manifests a visible continuity from its ancient Greek past, both historical and mythological as you will see into its old downtown Ortigia; Acitrezza and its "Faraglioni" that, as Homer's "Odissey" says, were hurled by the cyclop Polifemo against Ulysses and other place of interest which poets, voyagers, and writers of every century have described or just dreamed of...
Catania downtown has something for everyone! It is a great place to discover with its millenarian monuments, aistocratic papaces, and mysterious history and legends.
But Catania has a modern lifestyle as well. All these things, well stirred, create a great European city, of which, we are sure, you will fall in love!
The old downtown, filled up of young people, offers a living scene you cannot miss...
The heart of Catania is its downtown, and
we proud to give you the heart of the downtown!
