Ate several breakfast very good, Constantine gave us great advice on sights and arranged tours to Mt. Etna, Taramino and Syracuse. Neighborhood was a good location for seeing Catania. Enjoyed the place, centrally located near the Bellini Opera House - worth visiting even if you probably need to reserve seats to see an opera.
Catania is a busy and looks a little rough, but very safe. Traffic is busy, drivers fast, but courteous in stopping when pedestrians cross.

We stayed at the B&B Opera for 8 nights in early October and enjoyed our stay tremendously. The central location is ideal for those who want to stroll around the old part of the city. There is no elevator, however, so you need to be prepared to walk up and down a few flights of stairs each day. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was quiet, even though it was located on a narrow and bus...Read more
