From the Central Train Station (Square Papa Giovanni XXIII), take bus number 431 (black circular line: Central Station, Via Vittorio Emanuele, Via Plebiscito) or bus number 431 (red circular line: Central Station, Viale Libertà, Via G. D'Annunzio, Via Monserrato, Via Etnea, P.za S. Maria di Gesù, Via Androne, Via Plebiscito, Piazza San Cristoforo which overlooks via Naumachia).

“Bellaqua stands out for its location in Catania's historic heart, within easy reach of Piazza Duomo. I was particularly struck by the blend of old-world architecture and modern comfort. From what I've gathered, the host's genuine passion for Sicily elevates the experience beyond the typical stay.”
