(Catania) Ostello degli Elefanti Hostel Catania ★★★★★
Via Etnea, 28, 95131 Catania CT, Italy
- The best way to enjoy sunset in Catania with cocktails and snacks with reasonable price. You need to bell at the door to get in the hostel first.
There are no super tall building to look out the city in Catania. Some of the churches like Chiesa della Badia di Sant'Agata let guests climb up to the top, but the entrance costs more than it worths for me. Furthermore, it's trickty to be there when sun sets, and not a good setting to take time to enjoy the view. However, there's a great alternative option, a rooftop of the degli Elefanti Hostel Catania.
It is located in the northeastern corner of the Piazza del Duomo.
Getting in is a bit tricky, because it's in a hostel where the door is not always open. You need to ring the bell and tell them that you want to visit the rooftop bar.
If you go up to the 2nd floor, which is practically 4th floor, there is a reception where you pay 9 euros as entrance fee like clubs.
We didn't have a reservation, but were lucky enough to get the second best table.
The most popular table seemed to be the one at the corner where you can enojy the view without other guests' interfernce. However ours was not really bad at all.
There's no menu on the table, but you can order from the website linked from the QR code. Cocktails cost 7~10 euros, which is ok considering the atmosphere and view.
