British Airways operates Sicilian-bound flights to Catania that land at Catania
International Airport, just three miles south of Catania's city centre.
Stroll through streets lined with Baroque buildings after your flight as you make your
way to Catania's hub, Piazza del Duomo. Admire the square's
cute Elephant Fountain, with its perkily upturned trunk, and catch a glimpse of
Mount Etna looming over Catania. Then settle into a traditional
trattoria restaurant after your flight to Catania to enjoy seafood fresh off
the boat from Catania's bustling fish market.
Travel to/from central Catania
After leaving your flight to Catania, it's easy to catch a shuttle
bus to Piazza del Duomo square in the heart of Catania. Buses run
every 20 minutes and also stop at Catania's train station on Piazza
Giovanni XXIII. It's around a 20-minute ride from Catania airport
after your flight. Allow about the same amount of time if you're taking a
taxi into Catania after your flight.
Best of Catania
Wander around Catania's 18th-century streets after your Catania flight,
targeting Via Etnea and Via Crociferi for the finest architecture.
Step inside the immense Cathedral on Piazza del Duomo to see the
richly decorated chapel of St Agatha, Catania's patron saint. Photograph
the ruins of Catania's Roman Theatre and Roman Amphitheatre,
then take a relaxing walk through Villa Bellini's landscaped gardens
after Catania flights. When you catch your flight home from Catania, fill your
suitcase with Sicilian painted pottery and boxes of Sicily's marzipan and
almond sweets.
