Enjoy a Meal

Catania-Fontanarossa Airport has restaurants on both sides of its building. Prior to passing through security, you will come across a small coffee bar that serves food and drinks. After security, you can grab some food from self-serving kiosks or have a more leisurely meal in a large sit-down restaurant or a second small coffee bar. These restaurants are great for whiling away the hours before you depart Catania.

What to See and Do

Turin is the first capital city of Italy and has a cosmopolitan aesthetic about it. You could, for example, visit the Palazzo Reale, home to King Vittorio II, the first king of unified Italy. Of course, many visitors to Turin want to view the legendary Shroud of Turin in the Duomo di San Giovanni. This artefact is the burial shroud supposedly used to cover Jesus's body after his crucifixion. Turin also has no shortage of museums and markets for your perusal. It is best to visit during the fall, when the tourist crowds are at their thinnest and you can get accommodation cheaply through ebookers.
