Catania to Palermo Shuttle Service

Book a transfer from Catania to Palermo — crossing the heart of Sicily from the dramatic volcanic east coast to the exuberant, history-layered island capital on the northwest coast.

What to Expect

The 210 km journey takes 2.5 to 3 hours via the A19 motorway heading west through the mountainous Sicilian interior, passing through Enna (the island's geographical center) and the Madonie mountains before descending to Palermo's golden Conca d'Oro (Golden Shell) coastal plain.

About Palermo

Palermo is Sicily's magnificent, chaotic capital — a city where Norman-Arab-Byzantine architecture creates one of the most unique urban landscapes in the Mediterranean. The Palazzo dei Normanni with its jaw-dropping Cappella Palatina, the Monreale Cathedral's golden mosaics, the Quattro Canti crossroads, the catacombs of the Capuchins, and the vibrant street markets of Ballarò and Vucciria pulsate with 3,000 years of layered history. Palermo's legendary street food — arancine, panelle, sfincione, and stigghiola — is among Italy's most exciting, and the city's raw, unpolished energy is addictive.
