Catania City Tour
- In the morning, be escorted straight to the beating heart of Catania: “a Piscaria", a place where people improvise and tell about tales of the sea and its dangers. Catania's market is the best place where curious travellers can really get a feeling of Sicilian life. Stand and watch the spectacle before walking through the boisterous, colourful, smelly market while fishmongers yell out and locals window-shop.
- Later, start walking through Piazza Duomo, a triumph of the Baroque style, a square boasting several buildings of great interest such as Palazzo dei Chierici, built at the beginning of the 18th century and Palazzo degli Elefanti, now the Town Hall. At the center of the square lies the symbol of the city: a small elephant made of basalt, which in turn supports an obelisk.
- The tour continues to via Dei Crociferi, a surprisingly short street lined with an incredible number of buildings definitely worth a visit.
- Moving on to via Etnea, Catania's most vibrant street, and reach Piazza Stesicoro where be transported back to the days of the Roman Empire.
- End the tour in the old Jewish section of the city, where it is possible to admire one of the most intact examples of medieval castles in Sicily and the result of the eruption of 1669.
