Catania Airport has a single terminal; your driver will wait free for 60 minutes at arrivals if your flight is delayed, and monitors your flight in real time for any terminal changes. First-time visitors should know that the city center's main attractions cluster around Piazza Duomo and Via Etnea, both car-free zones, so confirm your hotel's vehicle access point when booking.
