City guide
Visiting Catania in May
May brings warm early summer days near 24 degrees; outdoor cafes around Piazza del Duomo fill up and beach lidos along La Playa prepare for the season.
Catania is Sicily's vibrant second metropolis, dramatically positioned along the Ionian coastline in the direct shadow of Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano. Leveled by a catastrophic earthquake in 1693, the city was reborn entirely in a theatrical Sicilian Baroque style, utilizing contrasting black volcanic basalt and creamy white limestone that give its grand palazzi a distinct operatic character.
- From the airport
- Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) is situated just five kilometers south of downtown. The AMTS Alibus departs every 25 minutes from outside the arrivals terminal, reaching Catania Centrale railway station and Piazza Stesicoro in 15 to 20 minutes. Official flat-rate taxis cost approximately 20 to 25 euros to the center.
- Getting around
- Catania's historic Baroque district is compact and very walkable. Via Etnea serves as the main pedestrian spine stretching north from the cathedral. For longer hops, Catania operates a clean and efficient single-line metro linking the central rail station to northern suburbs. For visiting Mount Etna, an AST bus leaves daily at 8:15 AM from Catania Centrale station for Rifugio Sapienza.
