...Catania is a rough city in Sicily and the Liberty Hotel is in a bad area of the city. I tried to stay there but was carjacked right outside the Liberty Hotel!!! A man blocked the road while his team of thieves opened my car doors and stole our bags. Because of this incident, I drove off and didn't stay at the hotel that night. My girlfriend was terrified. When I told the hotel about this incident, they would not refund my money for that night. The manager said it was not his fault that I was robbed and that I should have stopped at the hotel to "discuss what happened" even though the hotel was a few feet from where I was robbed!!! That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Pathetic how bad their customer service is. Please do not stay at the Liberty Hotel. I don't like supporting people that profit on other's misfortunes...

...Catania is the second major city in Sicily after Palermo.
There is a common say, that it is easier to do business in catania than Palermo. Although in my experience the 2 cities are very similar under this respect, I would not necessarily disagree with this statement.
An interesting place to visit is Castello di Ursino, (Ursino castle).
Located in Piazza Federico di Svevia, at the end of Via Auteri between Via Plebiscito and Via Garibaldi, it used to be a coastal fortress.
Later, vulcanic eruptions expanded the coastline, and if you go there, you can deem by yourself the extent of this expansion!
Another place worth visiting is the cathedral (Duomo), which goes back to 1090.
A word of caution for tourists, there are not too many restaurants in the centre of the town. If you have the time, try and go to Taormina, a beautiful place...

...6 Month ago i went out to Catania i was liveing there for 6 months.
Catania is a bright place with lots of thing to do.
its a wonderfull place to see the seaside is clean the people are very plesent there and its so hot.
the nightlife there start around midnight people go down to the bars and eat icecream, got to the seaside.
The italians when they go out they go out in a group and talk.
the food there is very healthy the fish is something you have never tryed belive everything is home made which is really nice.
The only ploblem there are the roads the cars will not stop for you,you have to just walk out and years ago when i went to italy it was cheap now the price is gone up.
thanks i did not want ot write too much....
