Discover the vibrant street food culture of Catania on a guided walking tour through the historic centre. Taste a variety of authentic local specialities while exploring the city's lively streets, with both morning and evening tours available.
Meet your guide at Via Crociferi, famous for its beautiful Baroque churches. From there, head to the bustling La Pescheria, where you will sample a selection of traditional Sicilian cured meats and cheeses, followed by your choice of a cone of freshly fried fish or the local speciality of grilled horse-meat meatballs. Continue the tour through the iconic Piazza del Duomo and Piazza Università before stopping at a traditional city kiosk to try the refreshing local drink known as selz.
Next, explore the lively local market and head to one of the city's beloved street food spots to taste two must-try Catanese specialities: the savoury cipollina, a flaky pastry filled with onion, tomato, ham, and mozzarella, and the famous Arancino, crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Your walk continues along Via Etnea, passing the elegant Villa Bellini and the ancient Roman Amphitheatre of Catania, before ending the experience with a sweet treat. Choose between a classic cannolo, a refreshing granita, or a traditional cassatina.
