Coming by plane

Catania is connected to many Italian and international airports by frequent flights operated by several airlines. Once you get out of the Baggage Claim area of the Catania Fontanarossa Airport you have two possibilities to reach the LNS.
  1. Take a taxi and tell the driver to take you to the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, inside the cittadella universitaria, in via S. Sofia, 62. The cost of the ride is usually about 25-35 euro, depending on the traffic at the different time of the day.
  2. Take the bus no. 457 toward the Central Railway Station and, from there, one of the buses no. 432, or 449, or 628 to the Città Universitaria. Bus tickets must be bought before boarding the bus, at newsstands or tobacconists, or at the AMT ticket counter located just outside the Arrivals Terminal (a newsstand is located on the first floor of the Departures Terminal). Ticktes cost about 0.80 euro each. Remember to stamp the ticket upon entering the bus.
When you enter the University Campus through the main gate in via S.Sofia 64, the LNS buildings will be located immediately on your right.
