Tucked away on the eastern shores of Sicily with beautiful views over the Ionian Sea, Catania ranks alongside neighboring Palermo as one of the largest cities in Italy. Here are your options for a little retail therapy among the traditional street markets during your visit.
Piazza Carlo Alberto (Carlo Alberto Square) Market
The outdoor markets in Piazza Carlo Alberto are a very traditional affair, with everything from household items and clothing to jewelry for sale—and explorers who delve a deep into the heart of the market will find themselves richly rewarded. Join locals and browse stalls of fresh produce for antipasti ingredients such as fruit and vegetables, cheeses and nuts. If your Italian language skills are sharp, feel free to haggle away.
La Pescheria (The Fish Market)
Tucked away within easy reach of UNESCO World Heritage–listed Piazza Duomo (Duomo Square), Catania’s fresh fish market comes alive in the mornings, with busy buyers and traders jostling for a deal. With cheeses, olives, and tasty oils also available, this is a foodie’s haven.
