On this free tour of Catania, we'll discover the more alternative side of this Sicilian city, going far beyond just its history and architecture.

Catania Alternative Free Tour

We'll meet at the indicated time at a central point in the city, to begin this tour of the alternative side of Catania. This Sicilian city has much more to offer than just beautiful Baroque architecture - let's explore it together!

In our free tour of Catania, we'll walk through the historic center to get to know the most interesting aspects of the Sicilian culture. We'll discover the history of the city, from its origins to modern times, passing through eras like Roman times and the Middle Ages as we make our way through the famous arches of the Marina, Castello Ursino, Piazza Mazzini and Piazza Stesicoro.

We'll tell you all about the past, present and future of Catania, and discuss local programs like the San Berillo project. Learn all about it on the tour!

Of course, this tour of Catania wouldn't be complete without delving into its gastronomy and nightlife. As you'll surely work up an appetite after hearing about pasta, arancini and cannoli, we'll recommend a typical place to try these local delicacies.

Then, after two and a half hours, the tour will end by returning to the starting point.

Meeting Point

Please note that the meeting point varies depending on the departure time:

Tour at 8:30 pm: we'll meet in Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, in front of the theater.
Tour at all other times: we'll meet at the entrance of the Giardino Pacini.
