I lived in Catania for about a month, and even though it’s not much of a tourist city, it was a fantastic sicilian experience! For those who like to get off the beaten path and don’t care if there’s no mega-famous attractions, Catania is a slice of real Sicilian urban life. It’s a busy city with great food, shops, people, history, and nightlife… without tons of tourists or too many people trying to sell you crap.
