Shopping and Traffic guides for Catania

There is a main shopping street in Catania City Centre, Via Etnea. You will find all major brands there. Beware of pickpockets there while you walk along the street.

The streets were clean and tidy. However, driving and parking were quite torturous for me there. If possible, walk more. Observe how Italians cross the roads, and follow. I noticed traffic rules weren't follow at certain junctions. Cars continued with red lights, pedestrians crossed even though cars were coming towards them. You need to get used to their way of sharing the roads.

Drivers take note that most roads are one way. Don't be surprised if you see a 2 lanes road turn into a 3 or 4 lanes. I like to call it Freestyle Driving.

Once you are there, take a walk to Piazza Duomo to have a coffee by the cafe and enjoy the view of it.

Another shopping mall is Centro Commerciale Katane. This mall is nice to walk around. There is a giant supermarket inside, where you can get pretty much everything you need. There are H&M and some little shops too.  Parking was easy there, shelter made it even better.
It was nice to spend some time there, had lunch and relax.
