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.

The train calls at Catania Centrale first, so a ticket bought to Taormina covers the whole ride; do not buy it in two halves.

Taormina-Giardini station is below the town, at the Giardini Naxos end of the bay; the climb to Corso Umberto is by local bus or taxi.
