How to spend a day in Catania?
In today's travel vlog, we explore Sicily's second largest city, Catania in 4k. During this summer we explored the eastern side of the biggest island in Italy and Catania is our first stop.
As with most of my vlogs, I give recommendations of what local food you must eat in the region, as well as the best restaurants and bars. We go to the famous Fish food market, La Pescheria to try some delicious seafood cones, we freshen up with the famous Sicilian Granita, try some local wine and appetizers by a local trattoria, go for Sunset views at the best rooftop bar in the Via Etna (The main street) and finish it off with a great dinner at one of the most praised restaurants of the city, Me Cumpadi Turiddu, where they serve traditional Sicilian dishes with a modern twist.
Besides food, we go sightseeing in some of the most recognizable sights of the city such as the main square where everything happens, the Piazza del Duomo and we climb the stairs to the top of the Chiesa della Badia di Sant'Agata to admire the city. I highly recommend you including this amazing view as one of the first things to do so you can get a sense of the sights.

@@FRANCISCARUSOworld What are your top 3-4 places in europe to visit or live? I had a recent death of a mom and want to leave the US..

[@evyf857]

Thank you for sharing your video which is helping me preparing my trip to Sicily in October. I’ll be staying in Catania to visit around day trips and in Palermo too to visit the towns around, no cars using public transportations only. Is it doable to visit Sicily in train and buses? Any recommendations for lodgings in Catania? Thank you

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Yes it is! We didn’t have a car, and used public transport is almost all places. The only exception was Marzamemi where we had to take a cab from another city to reach it. But everything else was by bus. In Catania we stayed in the Jazz Hotel

[@sabine662]

Thanks for these great tips! can you please share the name of the local trattoria where you got the wine and antipasti! looking forward to my next Sicilian holiday

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Yes, that was the Trattoria del Cavaliere 😉 Enjoy your trip! Will be posting more Sicily tips in the next videos

U can see the lava running down mt etna at night it’s such a gorgeous sight

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

It is very impressive! This was the first time I see an active volcano :-)

[@metindagcilar2564]

thanks for the tips! I think you forgot to mention the name of the cafe where you had the wine and antipasti. Did you ever find out what those other things on your place were?

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

We found that place by accident and it was definitely worth it. It is called Trattoria del Cavaliere. I don't remember exactly what was in it, but Antipasti Buffet is the name of the dish. It was sooo good... Probably my favorite in Catania.

[@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254]

If u ever travel to Perth Australia I’d love to show u around x

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Oh I would love to visit Australia someday... It's definitely on my list!

[@hannahlaurence1137]

Hey what was the name of the café next to the ancient amphitheatre? Thanks x

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Trattoria Del Cavaliere. Highly recommended 😉

[@hannahlaurence1137]

@@FRANCISCARUSOworld you're amazing thank you!!!! 🥰

[@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254]

It means more then my buddy it means family just not of blood. If that makes sense. And yep lots of donkey and horse there. I can’t explain how thankful I am for ur video

[@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254]

Ah yes the volcanic ash. Haha it’s everywhere like the morning mist

[@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254]

Yes our dinners are late. And we come alive at night. It does help its a university city.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Yes, I noticed how everybody was out and about in the evening. I like that! I guess it's because the temperature tends to be milder after the heat of the day

[@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254]

Come bedda Catania 🥰 thank u

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

😃

[@jmw-dj1rp]

hye ! any starbuck there ?

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

No, the Italians aren’t big fans of Starbucks. They prefer their own local coffee houses, so it’s quite hard to find Starbucks in the country

[@igniohealingbringeroftruth9254]

Not an earthquake it was mt Etna that covered the city. There is an old Catania underground and no one knows how old it is. Plus all the roman ruins. They stopped people going under because in the 1990’s a group of school students and two teachers got lost and have never been found. No one even knows how big it is. Crazy huh

[@vincenzostr4488]

Trash is everywhere in the city
