Monastero dei Benedettini di San Nicolò l'Arena
Monastery
👍👍 One of our best experience in Catania was the (English) guided tour of the monastery (well, university). You can not really visit without the tour, specially during the summer when the University is closed. The tour costs 9 euros and lasts a out 1h20m.
If you go on Saturday (maybe Sunday as well, d...

Museo dell'Etna
Museum
🫤 Poco curato, poco areato (si moriva dal caldo infatti siamo scappati), poco interattivo, poco tutto. Sembra abbandonato tutto a se stesso, peccato. I 6 euro del biglietto valgono la pena solo per la lezioncina sulle api e per la casa delle farfalle che è molto carina.
