Catania's history and character have been heavily influenced by Mount Etna, a volcano that once destroyed the city. Etna may have been the cause of Catania's destruction, but it has also played a vital role in the city's reconstruction. Much of the black volcanic rock featured in most of the city's beautiful Baroque architecture was expelled from inside Mount Etna and whether you drive downtown or take a day-trip to Mount Etna, you're sure to appreciate the volcano's beautiful influence throughout the city. After your drive you'll be hungry and the charming restaurants in Catania prepare cuisine that is considered to be some of the tastiest in Sicily. Traditional dishes include hand-caught fish and other fresh local ingredients. Find helpful tips and advice for driving your rental car in Italy with Auto Europe.
