Discover the main points of interest of this beautiful Sicilian city with this Catania Private Tour. A licensed local guide will accompany you!
Catania Private Tour
At the time of your choice, we'll meet in Piazza Federico II to start our private tour of Catania, approaching the Ursino Castle, built between 1239 and 1250 as the residence of the Aragonese rulers. Today, it is one of Catania's most representative monuments and houses the city's civic museum.
After learning about the castle, we'll walk along Via Autieri and the ancient Roman baths to reach the fish market. Here, we will stroll among kiosks and stalls before reaching Piazza Duomo, where the city's emblem, the Elephant Fountain, is located. Various theories about the origins of this sculpture will be discussed during the tour.
Next, we will visit the Cathedral of St Agatha, built on the site of the martyrdom of the city's patron saint, where we will see the tomb of composer Vincenzo Bellini. The connection of the musician with Catania will be revealed.
The tour continues to the Bellini Theatre, one of Italy's most famous, as well as the ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre and Piazza Dante, featuring the Church of San Nicolò and the Benedictine Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After 2 hours of exploring Catania's emblematic places, we'll conclude the tour with our guide.
