Is Catania safe for women?

I mean just try to avoid all the surrounding near to the train station and the harbor, the areas around the cimitery and you will be fine. Best areas where to stay in summer are all the line coast, and in winter the center (via etnea, via gemmellaro and so on).
Posted: July 23, 2024Not very safe, need to pay attention to bulgars, especially in desolate parts of the town. It is not very safe, especially for women, to walk alone in the night, be sure to always have company. There are some safe places, especially downtown but secondary streets may be more dangerous

Catania was everything I hoped Italy would be ! The food was excellent, not extensive at all compared to northern Europe. The city is quite small si it is not overwhelming at all and you can really feel like you can take your time !

Catania is a fun place to visit, especially with a friend. In May they have a Corri Catania charity 5K run that’s only 5€ and you get a t-shirt and a bag. Also, the running path checks out all the best spots in the city. For restaurants, I recommend: - Al Vicolo (huge, amazing pizzas) - Savia (arrancini) - Don Peppinu (pistachio cannoli) Also, be sure to do an Etna tour nearby and see the Naxos beach, a great experience 😊
