In lots of ways, us included, Catania is seen as a gateway city to all the other best places in Sicily to visit. That being said, it’s well worth visiting in its own right – even if that is part of a wider visit to Sicily. 

Now, although Catania can seem to be a little ‘rough around the edges’, it’s a city that’s got so much charm and the kind of city you just have to dive right in.
