We can’t wait for the start of Tuscany! You have the BEST travel videos on RUclips. I love the history and all the research you do. It offers such depth to the episodes that other channels do not. Grazie Mille
Where did you eat that green pasta? 😋🍝
Fun fact: the Monastery is also the location one of the biggest universities of Catania. It is very common to see students walking, studying, hanging out in the monastery, from 8 am to 8 pm. Beautiful video!
I'm currently watching several travel vlogs about Sicily on RUclips, and I have to say, this is among the best I've come across! The explanations are clear and incredibly helpful, making them fantastic guides for anyone interested in exploring Sicily. Great job!
As a Catanese, this video made me appreciate more my land. So happy you liked it and hoping to see you again in Sicily🥰
Im from Catania, and this video is an amazing guide! Well done!!
Aww thank you so much Dario, that means a lot to us & we’re so happy you liked it! 🥰🇮🇹
🤗🤗🤗
I am getting job in Catania, please let me know how safe is Catania ,from various reviews i am getting various negative reviews about Catania ,there are many reviews that Catania have very high crime rate
@@Mahabala.Gaming Catania can be dangerous as it can be New York or Paris or Singapore. All the world is part of the same game ;)
@@DarioUK Thanks for your response,but I am asking in general terms as through various websites I am seeing that Catania have high rate of crime ,as i need to relocate to new country so need to take care of all things
Love these top 10 videos! If we can get more footage I would love to see more. I’ve watched the series and I think we see some extra footage on these we didn’t see before. Thank you soooo much from Texas. A trip to Italy with you is always a JOY
I come from Catania, beautiful video, thanks for your visit, everyone is welcome in our Catania and Sicily!!!
Well done. I'm born and raised in Catania, this is a beautiful portrait of the city.
Such a great guide on Catania! I just came back from Italy (Venice, Florence and Bologna) but definitely adding Catania to my list 🙌🏽
I'm back in Sicily and your videos have been a great source of inspiration and information on the places to visit. Thanks.
I'm headed to Sicily - you've been my guide on what to see ! Always do your best. Thank you.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Just arrived into Sicily today and watched your video. Thanks for the great ideas ☺️
I'm from Catania and this video is amazing! You show everything well. I hope you come again to visit many other beautiful places in Sicily. ❤️❤️
thanks. very informative
Great recap. Anxious to see new one of Tuscany.
I live in Catania, you did such a great tribute to our beautiful city! ❤️🐘
A brilliant video that captures the essentials of a place. it was a bit quick for me, but I looked twice, and since we have the pause button, so I could write down the important things. Congratulations !!! I usually almost never subscribe to any video, but I did this time.
Great video and so easy to follow it without feeling overwhelmed! One of the best videos done on Catania that I watched so far! Planning a trip to Sicily this year so I’m taking lots of notes to get me an idea where to go and what to visit! Your video totally helped me making my decision! Thank you 🙏 Hopefully many more videos to watch from you guys!
Aww thank you so much for your kind words Evy! 🥰 We are so happy you enjoyed the video & we hope you have an amazing trip to Sicily! 😍🇮🇹
Thanks for the wonderful video, greeting from catania!!
Thank you for yours descrictions of my city, Catania 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, it helps to plan for our trip
Very nice video. Thanks to both of you. My best wishes from India. ❤👍🙏🏻
Sicily is one of the most interesting place on the face of the earth. I want to see the Stromboli volcano at night while it is erupting.😍
Why would anyone not want to live in Sicily after seeing all your tour videos! Ciao, guys☀️
Because it is italy
Italy is awesome!
Stunning Catania!
Agreed! 😍
Beautiful video of my beautiful city 💕 there’s a reason why the church of San Nicolò l’Arena hasn’t been finished! The benedictines were very powerful, hence the prominent position of the monastery in the city. When they decided to build the church next to it, it was in a power competition with the bishop of Catania, who couldn’t accept that the biggest church in the city wouldn’t have been the one in piazza Duomo any more; also, its position upon the hill of the city would kind of dominate it. In the end the bishop managed to stop the construction of San Nicolò l’Arena, to keep his symbolic power on Catania unaltered. If you want to, you can have guided tours in the Benedictine monastery, where they tell you this and other interesting stories about the monastery and also show you many places that are usually closed to the public, like the underground, the kitchen, and many more 💕 I’m a university student at the monastery and couldn’t love it more than I do!
I enyoj watching your videos. They are so informative.
Beautiful! 🥰😎
Wonderful
Thanks you. I’m visiting soon and this really help
That’s so exciting, we hope you have an amazing trip! 😍🇮🇹
Ciao you two beautiful people ! I have not had any time to watch your video’s this past year, so I am really happy to get back on track. Just found out that I have Phoenician and Lebanese Heritage ! Bye the way, this is Pasquale who told you that l lost my brother as well ! My plans are finally beginning to shape up and I will be moving back to my Beloved Citta’ Palermo as soon as I sell my property here in America. When I get settled in after my move I would like to meet the two of you, I just think you are both very special people and I hope we become very good friends ! Stay in touch and Bona Fortuna !
Good job mbare!! :)
We arrived in Catania yesterday after a relaxing refreshing stay in beautiful Taormina. What a dissapointment walking from the bus drop to our air B&B in the city centre through a filthy rubbish strewn ghetto.Everything here symbolises a decaying mismanaged city that has lost it’s self respect.
I just arrived in Catania and I'm very disappointed. Trash everywhere, no place to walk, chaotic traffic. Catania Beach not attractive at all. I have the feeling that the place is completely neglected. At least people are nice.
Great video ☺☺😍😍
Thank you.
Catania is such an underrated city. I adore it
I visited Catania Today nice place...
Thank u!
Bella Catania🥰❤️
Grazie.
I am born in Catania and enjoyed your video 👍
Aww thank you so much, we are so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰🇮🇹
beautiful scry
Thank you
Wondering if it is better to stay 4 nights in Catania itself seeing the highlights and taking the red bus rides or just 3 nights for Catania itself and 3 nights on any pretty of the coastal towns? Perhaps adding 3 nights to another beautiful place nearby? Any idea?
Hermoso😍
Thanks for the video!
I was wondering what are the walking paths that we can see at 0:35?
Loving your videos thanks! Just wondering if you know the name of the street which was decorated with the umbrellas overhead please?
Cheers,
Marg
Thanks for sharing such a detailed to do list!
You are welcome Anna! 🥰
very nice place❤
A peaceful walk in Librino is missing
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣 also a peaceful walk in Zia Lisa
💀💀
😂😂😂🔝👏
Love you from Bangladesh
I’m from Catania . About the pasta alla norma ,you can have also pizza alla norma . It used to be one of my favorite pizza once .
Oooo yes! We love the pizza alla Norma too, it’s so delicious! 😍🍕
Ciao Catania. REMEMBER ME? LOVE, CATANIA, SICILY. RETURNING, SICILY
My family hails from Catania, Sicily, but emmigrated to NY in the 1920's..
I have zero knowledge about my cultural heritage, save the broken Sicilian I picked up from dinners & holidays with my great- grandparents.
i’m from Catania
It seems a balanced summary of touristy landmarks. Now I want some real stuff!
From Bangladesh ❤
❤❤😍😍😍
جميل 👍👍
Catania BEDDA ... Catania is Beauty !!!!
top 10 things to do in catania:
1- RUN AWAY
U should try Gela.....the best kept secret 😜
Hello guys! did you do all Sicily without a car? How many days did it take you?
You forget the Aranchini and the granita :-D
Not bad not great... Catania is sure something what is not such a pitty to miss... Sicily has much more to offer
👍💯❤️🔥
it's possible to can vist all this places in 2 days?
I love Italy so much, but Catania was such a dissapointment. It was so dirty, and it stinked there as hell. If you are in Sicily i would recommend to go to the sea, or different cities like Noto
Une belle ville et c'est pas cher à Catania
Returning.
im hoping to visit alone in Seotember - any tips for a female lone traveller?
Oro Sicilia .
Can someone that speaks no Italian visit Catania for let’s say a month and be able to get by? My daughter is wanting to visit and I am hesitant to send her.
Beautiful city but, unfortunately, badly managed by current politics. I hope in the future it can be 10 times more valued, it is small but AMAZING!
Exactly it’s unfair how they treat us
mbare tritolo sto video
Ciao amici
I’m a student at the benedictin monastery❤
That’s awesome Andrea! 😍
@Andfe1301. I am called Alex Mutebi a Ugandan. I just recently got admitted into Msc Chemical Engineering for industrial sustainability at the university of catania. Do you know any student there or if you can link me to any student there ? I need some guidance and information about certain things please. Thank you
You forgot via Plebiscito, where you can taste the iconic horse meat of Catania
That’s disgusting .
@@ZzXZ636 you say that only because you never tried, it's delicious
@@dariodiluciano9443 No I say it because I don’t think we should kill the horse .
What's the difference between the horse and every other animal we eat?
Spero che vi sia piaciuta la mia Catania ❤️
These hop-in hop-off buses are just waste of money in general.
how is crime rate ?
La playa avete dimenticato la costa sabbiosa
How could you manage to hide all the rubbish lying on the streets? :D
Don’t go back then… simple!
just donate to katina to be safe edna 🙏🏻🇱🇰
Vi siete dimenticati il sangeli
LA PESCHERIA 💀💀💀💀💀
Undevelopped city with broken streets
Traduci in Italiano
Quanto vi hanno pagato? Ahahahah
Però fanno pure le rapine
Gabriele Leanza E nella tua città non ne fanno rapine? Ti do una grande notizia. In tutto il mondo fanno rapine.
Do you have an only fans?
No me gusto muy sucia la ciudad olía feo muy dejada le falta mantenimiento. A parques etc me decepciono la estación del tren. Rodeada de botellas basura
Lived here for 6 monhs. Never was welcomed by this locals. Not friendly at all to Americans. What you show is nothing of what I experienced. I tried to speak the language but that didn't help.
Bah, che ci sarà di così singolare da vedere o da vivere. Io ci sono nata e ci vivo, ma se fossi nata da un'altra parte, l'italia non l'avrei mai considerata come meta per un viaggio. Infatti non sono mai stata da nessuna parte in italia. Mai visitato nessuna città italiana, nemmeno la capitale. Non ci spendo nemmeno un euro per viaggiare in questo paese. Ho sempre e solo viaggiato all'estero.
L’Italia è uno dei paesi più belli del mondo, abbiamo un cibo fantastico e una Storia culturale che ci invidiano in molti, se non hai mai visitato una città italiana tranne la tua non parlare per favore e cerca di visitarle al più presto grazie
@@pn_leumas no grazie, non ne ho voglia né intenzione di farlo mai. Baci.
l'Italia è considerata tra i paesi più belli del mondo, purtroppo il paese è gestito male
beh, non ci sarà proprio niente da vedere nel PRIMO paese al Mondo come siti Patrimonio dell'Unesco....
@@frankied9723 detto da chi non ha mai viaggiato all'estero
Cantania is a dirty unkept city and so disappointing. It’s like it’s stuck in the 1970’s. Stick to mainland Italy and don’t waste your time or money here.
I just visited Catania, also went to Etna, Palermo, Tormina and Outlet village. I would NEVER again go to Sicily. The streets are SO dirty, trafic is dangerous both for drivers and pedestrians. The buses are not reliable. There are people sleeping on the streets and bus stops. They come in caffee to ask you for money or cigarets. They wont speak English EVEN on airport. AIRPORT FOR GOD SAKE. I hope this comment helps somene because i wish i saw this before i came. Also if you dont bring cash you will have bad time because 95% places will take only cash.
I just arrived. Wish I could see your comment before. I agree 100%. I'm very disappointed.
Too bad that there are more languages in the world than just English....... Even worse if someone doesn't speak your mothertongue to make YOUR life easier.
@@Giulietta2612 English is not my first language. English is international language accepted in world. You can google it. So if the airport is international they NEED to know english. Simple as that.
Stay at home and watch TV
@@soumenchowdhury1136 No tnx, this year i visited 8 countries and more than 30 cities. And i plan to do even more next year.

Where do you stay in Catania? Any suggestions? Thanks!
