Discover the historic heart of Catania on an evening walking tour led by a local guide, combining culture, history, and authentic Sicilian flavours. Wander through charming alleys and bustling squares while immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city.
The experience starts at the office on Via Crociferi, one of Catania’s most beautiful Baroque streets. From there, your journey begins at the impressive Monastero dei Benedettini, one of the largest monastic complexes in Europe, setting the stage for a perfect blend of history and gastronomy.
Enjoy a local aperitif with Sicilian wine, accompanied by a selection of traditional cured meats and cheeses. As you make your way toward the famous Pescheria, you’ll taste one of two iconic street food specialities: a cone of freshly fried fish or a traditional horse meatball, both staples of Catanese street food culture.
Next, visit Piazza del Duomo, the vibrant heart of the city, where you’ll enjoy an authentic arancino. Refresh with a freshly made Seltz at one of the classic city kiosks before continuing along Via Etnea, passing through Piazza Stesicoro and admiring the evocative Roman Amphitheatre of Catania.
The tour concludes on a sweet note with a choice of dessert: a creamy ricotta cannolo, a seasonal Sicilian granita, or a traditional cassata.
This is the perfect experience for anyone looking to discover the authentic flavours and vibrant culture of Catania in one unforgettable evening.
