About Catania: What to do in Catania - Catania, Italy
Catania is a great place for long walks and drives. Whether you are in the city centre or the barer outskirts, you are sure to find something you like. Interestingly, for a city known for its architecture, Catania is full of unfinished buildings, which are beautiful nonetheless.

A 40-minute drive will take you to nearby Taormina, one of the most scenic places in Italy. Besides the stunning architecture and cobbled streets, the mountains are a popular attraction. You can drive up to the mountain and enjoy a spectacular top view of the town.

About Catania: Tourist Attractions - Catania, Italy
Catania has a wealth of beautiful and historic buildings. At first glance, the city may seem grey and monotonous, but tourist cannot help but be awed by the rugged ruins of the Roman Odeon, the magnificent Ursino Castle, and the famous Catania Duomo.

The city has about a dozen Baroque churches and palaces, all of which are worth a look. The 18th-century Basilica Collegiata has a striking façade that looks almost oriental and a unique Latin-style layout with two naves (aisles leading to the altar) instead of the traditional one at the centre. The Church of St Benedict has one of the best interiors in the continent, with intricate designs covering the ceiling, pillars, and walls.
