Transferência de carro particular de Taormina para Catania
Often overlooked by Italy’s mainland, the island of Sicily offers a distinctive experience. Not far from the active volcano Mount Etna is Catania, the second largest city on the island. Catania is renowned for its gray-hued streets, painted by volcanic ash, which gives the city a truly extraordinary charm.
While Taormina is celebrated for its medieval and Renaissance architecture, Catania proudly displays its Baroque heritage. Embark on your journey from Taormina to Catania and discover the east coast of Sicily!
Both cities, though not far from each other, are popular destinations in Sicily, but there's more to discover on your car trip from Taormina to Catania. The ride with Daytrip takes just 50 minutes but as you approach Catania you can stop for a bit to admire the world’s oldest chestnut tree, Mount Etna which is the world's most active volcano, or stroll around the peaceful town of Aci Castello.
About Catania
Due to Catania's proximity to Mount Etna, the city is often referred to as "The Black City." As you explore the city, you will notice that the buildings have a darkened appearance from the soot and ash of the famous volcano. While some may see this as a drawback, it adds a unique charm to the city. Unfortunately, Catania has faced lava flows several times over the years. The most severe damage occurred in 1669 when parts of the city were permanently buried beneath a blanket of hot lava.
Catania’s resilience could be perfectly compared to a roller-coaster ride. Today, Catania is famous for its stunning Baroque architecture. But it is worth noting that this style adorned the city after a major earthquake struck Catania in 1693. Almost the entire city was in ruins, so extensive reconstruction works followed afterward, giving the city a unique character. To this day, Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, keeps reminding everyone of its presence by sprinkling the whole city with its soot.
Once you get to Piazza Duomo, the heart of Catania, you will notice Fontana dell'Elefante (or U Liotru, as locals call it), which is a statue of an elephant carrying an Egyptian obelisk. Elephants hold deep cultural significance in Catanese culture, both symbolically and folklorically. These strong animals represent the city's strength and resilience, especially towards natural disasters.
Catania has risen from the ashes like a phoenix several times. Each time the city faced destruction, Catania became stronger than before. Today, the city’s resilience is not only evident in its architecture but also in the spirit of its locals.
From Taormina to Catania: travel tips
Before you embark on your journey from Taormina to Catania, check out our travel tips that will ensure an experience as smooth as possible during your stay in Catania.
Have some euros in your pocket
Just as you might have noticed in Taormina, Catania is similar when it comes to payment methods. While cards are mostly accepted at tourist-oriented restaurants and shops, cash is generally preferred. Be sure to exchange some dollars before your trip to Sicily to avoid any inconvenience.
Plan your meals
Be aware that some restaurants in Catania (or anywhere in Sicily) are closed between lunch and dinner, usually from 3 PM to 7 PM. It's important to plan your meals accordingly. Depending on the season you visit, the opening hours may vary. During the off-season, there are usually shorter hours. If you are planning to go to a specific restaurant, check their working hours online before your trip.
How to get from Taormina to Catania
Despite the cities not being far from each other, there are several Taormina to Catania transfer methods you can choose from:
From Taormina to Catania by bus
The most affordable way to travel from Taormina to Catania is by bus. There are two main bus companies that offer routes between these two cities: Interbus and Etna Trasporti. Both of them offer a drive of approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. The tickets cost around $5.50 (€5), making it the most budget-friendly option. The buses depart multiple times a day.
From Taormina to Catania by train
However, trains are just slightly more expensive than buses which is why this mode of transportation is usually preferred for this route. You can get from Taormina to Catania with trains operated by Trenitalia, and the tickets cost around $6 (€5.50). Some of these regional trains are quite fast and will take you to Catania in just 40 to 50 minutes. Just like buses, trains also depart several times a day.
From Taormina to Catania by taxi
If you're seeking a more direct way to travel from Taormina to Catania, taking a taxi is an option. However, keep in mind that taxi drivers may charge higher rates for tourists, so it might not be the most cost-effective mode of transportation.
From Taormina to Catania by private car service
The most convenient way of getting from Taormina to Catania is by private car service. Daytrip offers door-to-door services which means that your local driver will pick you up from your hotel and drop you off wherever your accommodation is located in Catania. Our experienced drivers speak English which means you can easily communicate with them and ask for recommendations, without worrying about the language barrier.
One of the best advantages Daytrip offers is that you can explore any of the sightseeing stops we offer, not limiting yourself to just a predefined route or schedule. The flexibility allows you to tailor your journey to your interests and pace, ensuring a more personalized and enjoyable travel experience.
Although the drive from Taormina to Catania is just 50 minutes long, you can explore some truly unique stops, such as not only the largest but also the oldest chestnut tree in the world with at least 2000 years of history, the famed Mount Etna that has played an important role into how Catania is shaped today, and Aci Castello, known for its rocky coastline.
Things to do when you get to Catania
Are you planning your itinerary and unsure which places to visit or what traditional dishes to try? We not only ensure a safe journey from Taormina to Catania but also provide recommendations for an unforgettable stay. Here are some suggestions we think you’ll enjoy:
Admire the Catania Cathedral
The Cathedral of Saint Agatha is the main star of Catania. Just like the rest of the city, this cathedral was also affected by the earthquake of 1693, completely destroying it. Not long after, it was not only rebuilt but also complemented by new elements over the years. Entry to this Baroque-style masterpiece is free, and inside, you will find the tomb of the famous Catanese composer Vincenzo Bellini.
Explore the ruins of the amphitheater
Dive into the history by visiting the ancient Roman Amphitheater that was built in 2 A.D. from the volcanic rocks of Mount Etna. Back in the day, it had seats for 16,000 spectators, making it the largest amphitheater in Sicily.
Soak in the sun at the beach
If you’re visiting Catania during the warmer months, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby beaches! The most famous beach in this eastern Sicilian city is Playa di Catania. You can choose between the free public sections or the private areas that offer comfortable beach loungers and parasols. Stretching approximately 11 miles (18 km) along the city’s coast, Playa di Catania is famous for its unique volcanic sand.
Try the most mouth-watering local dishes
Sicilian gastronomy is among the most diverse in Italy, influenced by centuries of cultural interactions with Greeks, Arabs, Normans, and Spaniards, as well as its proximity to the sea. Here are some of the dishes from Catania that you should experience at least once during your stay:
Different pasta dishes: it is not Italy if there is no pasta. In Catania, you will find a variety of pasta that you should try, such as pasta alla norma, linguine ai frutti di mare, and paccheri with fresh tuna.
Granita con brioche: a dessert locals usually enjoy for breakfast. Granita is a half-frozen dessert with a granular-like texture, whereas brioche is a pastry with a buttery flavor.
Minne di Sant'Agata: if you’re visiting in February during the Festival of Saint Agatha (from February 3rd to 5th), be sure to try Minne di Sant'Agata, a delicious pastry that translates to ‘the breasts of Saint Agatha.’ These pastries honor the memory of Saint Agatha and are a key part of the celebrations.
When is the best time to visit Catania
To fully immerse yourself in Catanese culture, plan your visit in February for the Saint Agatha festival. However, if you prefer warmer weather, the ideal time to visit Catania is from March to December. To escape the heat, consider avoiding July and August, as the temperatures can exceed 86°F (30°C). Additionally, be aware that from January to March and October to November, Catania experiences more rainfall than at other times of the year.
For pleasant weather and fewer tourist crowds (though not completely avoided), consider visiting between March and May or September and November.

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“And our recent trip from Taormina to Catania, Sicily was no exception. Our driver, Vitto, was outstanding! He interacted with our group of six in such a fun way. He was prompt in picking us up and skillful)and cheerful) in loading our many bags into the van. He took us into Catania for a three-hour stopover so that we would not have to spend all of this time waiting for our departure time at the airport. He knew right where to let us off in the city and where he would pick us up, with no problems. I had this same very satisfactory experience and satisfactory driver with Daytrip last summer on a drive from Porto to Sentra, Portugal. I will continue to recommend Daytrip to others. They are very efficient and are more reasonable than some of the other transfer companies. Plus they offer added stopovers.”
