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
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 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
@@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
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!
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
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!
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 !
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.
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!!
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?
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!
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.
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.
@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
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
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.
How about some realism about how dirty it is and how IMPOSSIBLE to get around with a child and stroller because the sidewalks are basically parkplaces and blocked. We are in Catania now and are leaving 2 days earlier than planned. A mistake.
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.
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.
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

As a Catanese, this video made me appreciate more my land. So happy you liked it and hoping to see you again in Sicily🥰

I live in Catania, you did such a great tribute to our beautiful city! ❤️🐘
I come from Catania, beautiful video, thanks for your visit, everyone is welcome in our Catania and Sicily!!!
Catania is such an underrated city. I adore it
Why would anyone not want to live in Sicily after seeing all your tour videos! Ciao, guys☀️
Because it is italy
Italy is awesome!
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.😍

Thank u!
Bella Catania🥰❤️
Grazie.
Love you from Bangladesh
Not bad not great... Catania is sure something what is not such a pitty to miss... Sicily has much more to offer
Thanks for the video!
I was wondering what are the walking paths that we can see at 0:35?

Thanks for sharing such a detailed to do list!
You are welcome Anna! 🥰
Hermoso😍

top 10 things to do in catania:
1- RUN AWAY
❤❤😍😍😍
👍💯❤️🔥
U should try Gela.....the best kept secret 😜
it's possible to can vist all this places in 2 days?
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
Une belle ville et c'est pas cher à Catania
Hello guys! did you do all Sicily without a car? How many days did it take you?
You forgot via Plebiscito, where you can taste the iconic horse meat of Catania
@ZzXZ636 you say that only because you never tried, it's delicious
What's the difference between the horse and every other animal we eat?
mbare tritolo sto video

That’s awesome Andrea! 😍

im hoping to visit alone in Seotember - any tips for a female lone traveller?
How could you manage to hide all the rubbish lying on the streets? :D
Don’t go back then… simple!
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.
Spero che vi sia piaciuta la mia Catania ❤️
Ciao amici
Catania or Palermo?
Where I belong 😊
These hop-in hop-off buses are just waste of money in general.
how is crime rate ?
How about some realism about how dirty it is and how IMPOSSIBLE to get around with a child and stroller because the sidewalks are basically parkplaces and blocked. We are in Catania now and are leaving 2 days earlier than planned. A mistake.
La playa avete dimenticato la costa sabbiosa
