We went looking for the park whilst walking around Catania. The park is very clean and was full of local youths who were friendly and not causing any trouble. There are plenty of areas to sit and chill and people watch and to get out of the mid-day sun, well worth a visit if you're in the city.
We went when everything was a little dead, but it was a beautfiul park. Great for families, walkers, short breaks, or games.
Catania is not a very attractive city and the Giardino is a nice haven away from the dirt, caos and crime. The park is well maintained and gardens are very attractive with plenty of shade from the trees.Stop and have a gelato nearby.
In the heart of Via Etna, these manicured gardens have an imposing tree lined entrance. Within the gardens there is a fountain and many beautiful vistas. The gardens are an attractive place to eat a picnic in the heart of the city. Two beautiful pattiserie shops sit at the gardens entrance. Free to all.
The gardens are well maintained. So much so, they replant a section of the garden every day with the date. Very nice spot to relax in the city. Once you are relaxed you'll be ready for shopping on Via Etna.
Huge park with a lot of things to see and do and enjoy. And when the weather is beautiful, I guarantee you a good quality time spent there.
a pleasant walk in the morning, lovely area and must go .. located on the opposite side of hotel etnea 316
A very well kept garden in the heart of Catania which provides relaxation and venue for nice walks, without hustle and bustle. On the main shopping street of Via Etnea. Mouth-watering cafes and restaurantsa opposite main entrance.
This was a very attractive park in the centre of Catania with a number of excellent play areas for the children.
Very nice garden and with the excellent weather we found this December in Catania, made a wonderful experience to explore on of the largest gardens of Europe.
