From the airport to central Catania
Piazza Duomo is about 5 km from the airport, about 12 minutes. The Alibus costs 4 EUR and reaches Catania Centrale station in about 15 minutes, but to a hotel in the centre there is still a walk, with your bags. With a Catania private transfer your driver waits in arrivals with your name.
The old centre is a camera-controlled limited traffic zone and part of Via Etnea is pedestrian: the car takes you to your hotel where traffic rules allow, otherwise to the nearest point, agreed beforehand. See from the airport, the port and Acireale.
