Discover Details:
Catania Cathedral
Piazza Universita
Castello Ursino
If you've got a smartphone, use a translation app for the info plaques. I found a lot of the historical details fascinating but struggled a bit with the Italian text. It made my visit way more enjoyable!
I recommend taking the time to check out the small art exhibits—they're often overlooked but super interesting! I almost missed them and I'm so glad I didn't
Check out the little café inside. I thought it’d be overpriced, but surprisingly, the prices were decent! Grab a coffee after your tour and relax for a bit.
Elephant Fountain
Take a few moments to just sit on one of the nearby benches and soak it all in. I thought I was on a tight schedule, but relaxing for a bit made my visit way more enjoyable!
I suggest cooling off with a gelato nearby after your visit. There's a fantastic gelato shop just a few steps from the fountain, it was a perfect little treat!
If you can, visit early in the morning around 8 AM. The plaza is way less crowded then, and you can snap some great photos without a ton of people in the background.
