Alibus · AMTS CataniaAlibus to Catania Centrale and Via Etnea

From

The Alibus stand on the forecourt in front of the old terminal, outside arrivals

To

Catania Centrale, the main station, then Corso Italia, Via Etnea and Piazza Stesicoro round the loop

Runs

04:40–00:30

Journey

10–20 min

It is a loop. The station comes first, about 15 minutes out; Via Etnea and Piazza Stesicoro about 15 minutes after that. Stay on past the station for the centre and the Duomo streets.

Only the EUR 4.00 Alibus ticket is valid: the EUR 1.40 city ticket, the day ticket and the metro tickets are not, and a ticket bought on another AMTS bus costs EUR 4.60.

On board it is by card from the crew's device; the machines at the airport take coins and cards. Validate a paper or app ticket when you board.

The early-morning and late-evening runs take the outer road instead of the port and are quicker; the daytime ones go through the port.

Luggage

An ordinary regional train with racks; no luggage charge.

Runs

05:19–20:28

Journey

17–27 min

Cheaper than the Alibus but not quicker door to door, and the trains are irregular: check the next departure before you walk over, and after 20:28 there is none.

Buy before you board, from the machines at the station or the app, and validate a paper ticket. The shuttle needs its own ticket unless your train ticket is to "Catania Aeroporto Fontanarossa Bus".

The train stops only at Catania Centrale in the city; for Via Etnea and the Duomo it is a 20-minute walk or a city bus from there, where the Alibus would have carried you on.
