Catania, Sicily: Rough and Ready but Beautiful and Lively 🇮🇹

Discover Catania, a lively, ancient port city in Sicily, Italy. It is steeped in tradition and yet it has continually evolved throughout the centuries when it’s been hit by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Continually rebuilding itself while keeping its heritage alive, makes Catania the vibrant, bustling place that it is today.
In this travel guide, I share the best places to visit, where to eat in Catania, as well as some of its beautiful architecture and markets. If you’re planning a trip to Sicily, be sure to add Catania to your travel itinerary.

I need to remember to stop watching these when Im hungry because all the food you showed looks delicious!! Loved the top quality cinematography!

[@NicolaExplores]

Haha, thank you! Somehow we both lost half a stone that week even though we’ve never had so many pastries and gelato in our lives! 😅 Must have been all the walking?! Thank you so much. It's my first attempt at making a Travel Video, so although it's not perfect, I really appreciate the encouragement :) I've already filmed the next two, so need to start editing.
