Sicily is a unique island, unlike anywhere else on the planet. From its fine wines to juicy lemons and unspoiled nature to bustling cities, you'll experience it all on your once-in-a-lifetime car trip from Palermo to Catania!
As you weave your way out of the chaotic cauldron of Palermo's old city, vibrant green trees and lush woodlands in the distance remain constants in your window. But after turning onto the spaghetti-shaped roads, the rolling hills transform into a more arid landscape with burnt brown hills and traditional villages resting at the foothills surrounding Mt. Etna.
Your reward for embarking on such an adventure-seeking vogue is a melting pot of cultural and baroque architecture in the streets of Sicily's second-largest city. But first, you must plan your journey from Palermo to Catania. So continue reading our in-depth guide with tips, tricks, and everything you need to know about getting from A to B in 2024!
After driving from Palermo to Catania, you'll arrive at the island's second-most populous city. Over 2 million locals live here on Sicily's eastern coast. Although the glimmering waters of the Mediterranean Sea are a sight to behold, the towering Mt. Etna in the background takes center stage.
Many rulers controlled the area after Greek settlers founded Catania in 729 BC. The Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, and Swabians governed the land, giving the city its mix-and-match architectural styles you'll still see today. Yet the nearby Mt.Etna played the most vital role in developing the cityscape. The black ash from the bubbling volcano contributed to darkening the city's buildings, earning Catania the nickname "The Black City."
Today, over 1 million people travel here from around the globe to indulge in some of the world's finest Greek temples and Roman ruins. But its delicious food scene is the star of the show. Steamy street food vendors and fresh local markets scatter throughout the streets, adding to the city's lively atmosphere. The best way to explore Catania's baroque buildings and bricked paths is with a mouthwatering local delicacy called arancino in hand!
Sicily's uniqueness brings plenty of unforgettable experiences. However, you'll need to learn travel tips to make the most of the trip from Palermo to Catania!
Despite the rugged terrain, the road from Palermo to Catania has a robust taxi and public transport network. Unfortunately, delays from strikes or unforeseen circumstances are not uncommon. Consider departing earlier than necessary to be safe.
In 2021, Travel + Leisure named Sicily the sixth-most beautiful island in the world. You'll discover unimaginable natural wonders and postcard hilltop villages that look suspiciously like the set of The Godfather. Be sure to put the UNESCO-listed towns of Enna and Cefalu on your schedule before setting off.
Sicily is like a region trapped in a time warp. Medieval villages, well-preserved ancient ruins, and traditional cafes litter the road from Palermo to Catania. Most establishments en route only accept cash to keep costs down, as it's also one of Europe's poorest areas.
Three modes of transportation are available for the trip. Each has benefits and advantages, so uncover which to help you decide how to get from Palermo to Catania.
Buses are the cheapest way to travel from Palermo to Catania. Flixbus and Sais Autolinee operate on this route, with seats starting at €14 one-way. The latter is the most frequent service, with up to 16 daily departures. The bus takes about 2.5 hours to cover the 130-mile (210 km) distance.
You'll depart Palermo Via Tommaso Fazello, wind through the twisting roads of the nation's heartland, and arrive at Catania Central Bus Station. Remember to book your tickets 30 days in advance for the best fares.
The train is a scenic and adventurous way to travel from Palermo to Catania. Trenitalia offers multiple daily services through some of the most picturesque regions of the island.
The downside is that no direct trains are available. After purchasing a ticket from Palermo Centrale to Catania Centrale, you must transfer once at Dittaino, which is something to consider if you're traveling as a family or with bags.
Daytrip is the easiest and most comfortable way to travel from Palermo to Catania. After selecting your desired departure time, your English-speaking driver will do all the work. After they pick you up and load your luggage into the trunk, you can simply relax in an air-conditioned car while admiring the stunning Sicilian vistas that speed past your window.
In under 3 hours, you'll be whisked from your hotel in Palermo to your new one in Catania. But you also have the unique opportunity to explore sights without dragging luggage through historical walkways. The dramatic fort of Castello di Caccamo, the UNESCO-listed villa of Romana del Casale, the hilltop town of Piazza Armerina, and more reside on this breathtaking drive!
Sicily isn't as explored by tourists as other parts of Italy. So, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the vast array of things to do, like museums, rental firms, and outdoor activities when you get to Catania from Palermo!
Emperor Frederick II constructed Castello Ursino in the 13th century. Today, this formidable fort towers over the historic heart of the city.
Initially built as a coastal defense, the castle later served as a royal residence and a prison. Now, it houses the Civic Museum, showcasing an extensive collection of art and artifacts that trace Catania's history from ancient times to the present day.
After spending the day exploring historic alleys and walking over cobbled lanes under the baking hot Sicilian sunshine, you'll be begging for an urban oasis to sit back and relax. Luckily, Villa Bellini's central location and beautiful surroundings provide the ideal place to recharge.
The city's oldest park covers almost 3 square miles and is a slice of heaven decorated with stylish Italian features and colorful flowers. Many locals gather here with friends and family to enjoy a picnic on the grass.
Piazza del Duomo is the heart and soul of Catania. The city's vibrant atmosphere stems from here, but the exquisite Baroque architecture encircling the setting will most likely blow you away.
Catania Cathedral is the centerpiece of the square. Yet you'll also find palaces, cafes, and the iconic Fontana dell'Elefante, a fountain featuring an elephant statue, symbolizing the city's resilience against volcanic eruptions.
Sicily's climate is instrumental in deciding when to travel from Palermo to Catania. In the winter, you can't soak up the sunshine on a golden sandy beach. In the summer, the beating Mediterranean sun feels overwhelming.
That's why spring is the best time to travel to Catania. The average daily high temperature of 83° Fahrenheit allows you to swim in its baby blue waters during the day and sample local cuisine al fresco style at night.
Rental operators and excursion groups are also just reopening after the winter period, so many companies offer significant discounts. Finally, the blooming wildflowers in the countryside and city parks add a gorgeous pop of color to the region!

“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.”
Perfect Driver in Sicily- Francesco M.
“I recently utilized DayTrip for a ride from Palermo to Catania in Italy. I had never used DayTrip so i was hesitant. Plus Italy keeps changing their covid /travel restrictions so i was worried that i may need to cancel and not be able to get my money back. Luckily, the trip happened and I had the honor of being driven by a man named Francesco M.. Francesco M. was like an angel living on Earth. he is so kind, with his big beautiful brown eyes. He drove me from point A to point B, with some stops in between (Cefalu and another stop). I felt 100000% safe with him..When you are travelling alone as a woman, sometimes its scary to trust drivers.. but this one is the perfect gentleman and a true professional....if you are ever in Sicily, Italy, and you are utilizing DayTrip, ask for Francesco M... i can guarantee you, you will NOT be disappointed. Your mind and heart will be at ease. And he will tell you so many things about the area.”
