Are you thinking about a tour to Catania? The city of Catania, formerly called Katane, is located in Italy and dates back to the 8th century BC.
It was founded by Greek settlers, although in it you can appreciate the mixture of multiple civilizations, such as Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Italian, Aragonese, among many others.
Another important fact is that in the city of Catania Alfonso V of Aragon founded the first university in Sicily, in 1434.
The way to get to Catania is by plane, ferry or land transportation. In the first case, Catania has an airport called Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, also known as Vincenzo Bellini Airport, which is located 7 kilometers from Catania city center and was inaugurated in 1924.
In the second case, you can take a ferry to Catania from other Sicilian ports or from Naples. In the case of land transportation, there are the possibilities of traveling to Catania by bus from Rome or by car along the Autostrada del Sole highway.
Catania is one of the largest cities in Sicily, in fact, the second largest. Despite this, its infrastructure is somewhat outdated, which makes getting around the city somewhat complicated.
It has a public transport network (metro and buses), but we recommend that if you want to visit the city efficiently you take a tour of Catania's main attractions.
