BEFORE YOU GO

A well-planned trip.

Getting around

Catanzaro’s city center spreads across several hills and features steep streets and stairways: comfortable shoes are useful for exploring it on foot. Local buses connect the different parts of the city; the funicular can be a convenient way to move between the center and the lower neighborhoods. To reach Catanzaro Lido, check the schedules for buses or regional trains, which may vary. If you’re arriving by car, check parking options and traffic restrictions in the historic center in advance.

When to go

Spring and early autumn are ideal for exploring the historic center, thanks to the generally mild temperatures. In summer it can get hot, but it’s a good season to combine a city visit with a day at the beach in Catanzaro Lido. Before you travel, check the calendar of local festivals and events.

Where to eat

To sample the local cuisine, look for a trattoria or rosticceria serving morzello, a specialty from Catanzaro traditionally served in pitta bread. Calabrian pitta and dishes made with chili pepper are also among the specialties worth trying. In the historic center you’ll find traditional cuisine, while in Catanzaro Lido you can choose between restaurants and trattorias near the sea.

Quick tips

  1. Wear comfortable shoes: the slopes and stairways in the center can make the visit tiring.
  2. Check bus, funicular, and train times and routes in advance, especially in the evening and on public holidays.
  3. If you’re traveling by car, find out about limited traffic zones and parking areas before heading to the center.
  4. For a trip to the beach, check the forecast and consider heading to Catanzaro Lido during the coolest hours of the day.
