What to do and see in Centro Catania, Sicily: The Best Concerts & Shows
Catania has been a prize of many empires over the centuries, from Greeks to Romans to Arabs to Normans to Spaniards (to name a few). But its citizens have a more dangerous enemy right in their backyard—Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, which destroyed the city with earthquakes and lava flows in 1693. Look closely at the baroque buildings dating from after the eruption—you'll notice a creative use of lava.

Pubs in the historic center of Catania among Teatro Massimo Square and the historic district of St. Beryl looks like a mixology bar where you can attend musical events of high thickness ranging from Blues to Jazz to Burlesque shows.

Bohème is a meeting place in Speakeasy style, which combines the flavors of the food to the traditional ones of drinking, using natural herbs and spices. And where you can enjoy cocktails strictly based on fresh fruit, spun on the spot. Music and truly international environment. Suitable for those who love to drink and those who do it only for mere, real pleasure.

Fantastic on every level. The setting, the excellent live pianist, the welcome, the ethos of making things off menu to the customer’s tastes and the cocktails....Leave your order in these guys’ capable hands and you’ll get something a bit special without venturing too far away from your tastes. The best cocktails we’ve had not just here in Catania but anywhere for a very long time. If you’re looking for good drinks in a relaxed environment, just go here. Superb
