From Catania Airport to the Central Station
Catina Domus is 150 metres from Catania Central Station, where the Alibus from Fontanarossa Airport stops. In about a quarter of an hour you're here, with no taxi and no rental car. Here are all the options, with times and costs.
Alibus, taxi or train: which to choose
By Alibus recommended
- The bus leaves from the area in front of the old terminal building: follow the "Alibus" signs from the arrivals exit.
- The ticket costs €4 and you can buy it on board, also by card, or in the AMT Catania app. It is valid for 90 minutes on other city buses too.
- Buses run frequently from early morning until late evening: check the latest timetable on the AMTS website.
- Get off at the Central Station stop, in Piazza Giovanni XXIII: about 15 minutes.
By taxi
- Take a taxi from the official rank outside arrivals.
- There is a fixed fare of €27 between the airport and the Central Station. Ask the driver for it before you set off.
- Worth it for 3 or 4 people, with lots of luggage or if you land late at night.
- The taxi drops you right at the front door.
By train
- From the terminal, reach Catania Aeroporto Fontanarossa station on the Fontanarossa Airlink shuttle (separate ticket) or on foot, in about 10 minutes.
- Take a regional train to Catania Centrale: about 10 minutes.
- Handy if you are travelling on to other cities: some trains to Syracuse, Taormina and Messina also stop at the airport.

There is a paid luggage storage downstairs: drop your bags and start exploring the city straight away.
Back to the airport
To leave, just reverse the route: the Alibus to the airport stops in Piazza Giovanni XXIII, in front of the station. Check-out is by 10 am; if your flight is in the afternoon, you can leave your bags at the storage downstairs and enjoy your last hours in Catania.
Allow about half an hour to reach the terminal and get there as early as your airline requires. In summer, with traffic and security queues, give yourself extra time.
