Local knowledge for Catania
Where to stay
Most hostels cluster in the Centro Storico within a short walk of Piazza del Duomo, particularly on the streets running off Via Etnea and near the Pescheria fish market on Piazza Pardo. The Ognina neighborhood to the north is quieter and sometimes cheaper, with direct AMT bus access back downtown.
Getting around
- Single AMT bus tickets cost a small fee and are valid for 90 minutes. Buy a multi-ride card at a tabacchi shop rather than paying the surcharge for tickets bought from the driver.
- The Pescheria fish market on Piazza Pardo runs Tuesday through Saturday mornings until roughly noon. The arancini and stigghiola stands ringing the market are as cheap as street food gets in Sicily.
- Trenitalia runs to Syracuse in about 1.5 hours for a cheap fare from Catania Centrale. Skip the packaged day tours entirely and just buy a ticket at the station the morning you want to go.
When to go
November through February offers the lowest hostel rates. July and August fill fast, driven by low-cost flights from northern Europe into Fontanarossa, so book at least two weeks ahead if you're arriving on a weekend.
