Rejseplan
Ursino Slot, hvis navn stadig er usikkert, ligger i centrum af en stor plads opkaldt efter den hellige romerske kejser og konge af Sicilien, Frederik II af Schwaben. I starten stod bygningen meget tæt på havet, omgivet af en voldgrav og beskyttet af flere forsvarsstrukturer. Ydermuren var bygget med velfirkantede og regelmæssigt arrangerede lavastens kvader, mens den anden, mere indre, mur var meget mere uregelmæssig.
"Pescheria" i Catania er det berømte fiskemarked i byen, beliggende i hjertet af det historiske centrum, nær Piazza del Duomo og Fontana dell'Amenano. Det kaldes almindeligvis af befolkningen i Catania "Piscarìa", et udtryk, der kommer fra den sicilianske dialekt.
Fontana dell'Amenano blev skabt i 1867 af den napolitanske billedhugger Tito Angelini i Carrara-marmor. Dette springvand er dedikeret til Amenano, den underjordiske flod, der løber under byen Etna.
Piazza del Duomo er Catanias bankende hjerte, beliggende i det historiske centrum af byen. Denne charmerende plads er hjemsted for nogle af byens mest ikoniske monumenter, herunder den majestætiske katedral Sant'Agata, dedikeret til byens skytshelgen.
Catania-katedralen, officielt kendt som katedralen Sant'Agata, er et vigtigt eksempel på barokarkitektur. Bygget i 1090 på resterne af et gammelt romersk tempel dedikeret til Jupiter, blev katedralen senere genopbygget efter jordskælvet i 1693, som ødelagde en stor del af byen.
Piazza Università tager sit navn fra Palazzo degli Studi, også kendt som Palazzo Università. Et af de karakteristiske elementer på denne plads er de fire bronzelygtepæle placeret i hjørnerne, som repræsenterer figurer fra populære Catania-legender: den unge Gammazita, sømanden Cola Pesce med sine undervandsfærdigheder, brødrene Anfinomo og Anapia og den legendariske Catania Paladin Uzeta.
Under Piazza Stesicoro ligger et gammelt romersk teater, der dateres tilbage til det 1. århundrede f.Kr. Dette dyrebare arkæologiske sted er blevet nedsænket gennem århundreder af adskillige udbrud af Etna og, som du måske forestiller dig, seismiske begivenheder. Vi kommer ikke ind, men du kan besøge det selv, hvis du vil!
Crociferi Street er en af de ældste og mest stemningsfulde gader i Catania, beliggende i hjertet af det historiske centrum. Denne vej, der er kendt for sin ekstraordinære skønhed, bliver ofte valgt som et sæt for film, takket være dens filmiske charme.
Benediktinerklosteret San Nicolò l'Arena i Catania har været et grundlæggende referencepunkt i byens historie, især i det attende århundrede, takket være dets storhed, rige værelser og den ædle oprindelse af munkene, der levede der.

It was my first time I bought an audioguide and the experience has been wonderful. It gave us the flexibility to hear the passages either following the established order or on per own one. I really recommend it!

Practical, easy to use, intuitive, and very complete
Well-made guide, it pleasantly accompanies you in discovering Catania. So many interesting explanations!
Totally enjoyed my self guided walking tour. It was so easy to open the tour and follow the prompts. Information was provided for each point of interest in both written and audio form and was always interesting. I was given the option to use the tour over several days. And, I took advantage of that spreading it over 2 days so I could take my time and make little gelato stops along the way.
It was new and excelent experience
Went fine, good experience to be helped through the city's sights. Otherwise we weren't that far around.
I really enjoyed my walking tour of Catania. The app is easy to use. I liked that I could both listen and read because I lost internet access a couple of times. I am impressed with the number of interesting sites covered, and the detail. I did not have a lot of time to spend in Catania so the flexibility of a self guided tour was great.
We were skeptical at first about how this would work, but were thrilled at the end. It all worked out great from the start. Clear and understandable explanations of the respective objects were given. Then one was directed to Google Maps via a button, which then led me to a suggested route to the next landmark. But I found the best and special banger: you could also interrupt this path and go to dinner, or take another road, you were always included in the program and led to the sight. I would also like to point out that you could have the explanations read out as often as you wanted if you had not understood something correctly. For this you just had to push the player back and so you could hear it again. Personally, I found that much better than the guided tour with a guide in person. So all in all I found it a successful app and can only highly recommend this type of viewing. But I still have a small improvement suggestion: That one would give recommendations for the parking garages which in the middle or beginning or end. Then it would be the icing on the cake for me. But... and I would like to mention this, I had also given the question about the parking garages to the organizer via WhatsApp about the ticket load. For this I did not get as needed or desired immediately, but later. We had already found a parking garage ourselves. What I would like to mention, however, is that it really responded to my request. This shows me that the service is not only superficial, but also practiced. One more recommendation from me: The garage Siesicoro in VIA Gambino 25 I would recommend the parking garage is super clean and very tidy staff. You have to hand over the car key because the car is parked by the staff, but when we wanted to pick up our convertible unannounced, we saw how neatly our car was parked and it was handed over to us again. So for me also all the stars to recommend. And.... you can also experience a huge market at the same time if you go to the 2 corners.
I was unable to access the link. However, I was able to use the internery to navigate through it on my own. The link is not clickable or copy able, so I just didn't use it. It was disappointing
