Umbrella’s Street

Tipical places
Via Gisira - 95121 Catania

    The ‘Umbrellini Street’ is one of the liveliest and most Instagrammable corners of Catania.

    In the heart of the historic center, between the pescheria and Via Gisira, hundreds of colorful umbrellas line up, creating a vibrant atmosphere that colors the city. At night, the lights that illuminate them make the scene even more enchanting, captivating not only the tourists who stroll by, enchanted by the sight, but also the locals who, especially in the evening, gather under this colorful sky to sing, dance, and enjoy dinners and drinks in the establishments below.

    The umbrellas are not just an aesthetic addition; they also serve a dual purpose: during the summer, they shield the streets from the peak of the sun, making strolls more pleasant, and on rainy days, if you’ve forgotten your umbrella, there’s no need to worry!”
