Markets and crafts in Catania

Shopping in central Catania ranges from Via Etnea's storefronts to two distinct historic markets: La Pescheria near the cathedral and Fera o Luni around Piazza Carlo Alberto.

Why go

The markets offer a contrast between fish and food trading close to Piazza del Duomo and a broader market area farther along the central streets. Sicilian puppets and carved wooden objects give craft shoppers something more specific to seek than a generic souvenir.

What to look for

  • La Pescheria occupies streets and squares close to the cathedral.
  • Fera o Luni is associated with Piazza Carlo Alberto.
  • Sicilian pupi are traditional puppets with elaborate costumes.

Useful to know

  • Visit La Pescheria and Fera o Luni as separate market stops; they are not the same market.
  • Check current market days and hours before making either the focus of a trip.
