Discover the timeless charm of Catania after dark on a 2-hour walking tour with an official tour leader. An ideal experience to avoid the hot daytime temperatures and be enchanted by the wonders of the beautifully lit historic old town.
The route begins in the scenic Piazza Duomo, where you can admire the Cathedral and the famous Elephant Fountain, the symbol of the city. From here, we will move on to Via Crociferi, the triumph of Catanian Baroque, to admire its four historic churches from the outside and the elegant arches that make it one of the most photographed locations in Sicily.
The tour continues towards the Pescheria area: although the famous market is closed at this time, the neighborhood reveals an intimate and evocative evening atmosphere. We will return to Piazza Duomo through the monumental Porta Uzeda and then go up Via Etnea, the city's lounge.
We will make a stop in the splendid Piazza Teatro Massimo, the heart of Catania's cultural and evening life, and then return to Via Etnea to reach Piazza Stesicoro. Here we will conclude our walk by admiring the monument to Vincenzo Bellini and the imposing ruins of the Roman Amphitheater, historically known as the “Black Colosseum” due to its distinctive lava stone.
