The Palazzo Biscari is a monumental private palace located right up against the city walls. Built in 1702, after the famous earthquake of 1693, this Sicilian baroque style palace is the oldest in Catania and also the largest. The highly decorative interiors are open for guided tours and used for cultural events.

The palace is quite nice, but 6€ for such a short and low quality exhibition is not worth is. I would definitely take the money elsewhere. For the same amount there are much better places to visit in Catania.

The guide doesn't speak too loud, but otherwise a quick and nice palace. There are roman bath flooring that you can walk on.

It is fantastic place. Italian baroque style from 15th century. Weddings are still held in this palace. There are tours in Italian and English

Beautiful baroque palace, a charismatic tour guide and an entertaining presentation of material with humor. Unbelievable, but not knowing Italian, we got a lot of positive impressions and emotions. Recommended!

A great experience in Catana! The palace is amazing and we really enjoyed our visit. Heads up to our guide who was super friendly and had loads of fun facts to share with us (and showed a lot of patience answering all our questions!)

Beautiful palace, but dissapointed with the guide...payed 10 euros but could not hear most of the things he told us. Definitely need to invest and buy him a microphone. He knew a lot of details but reall hard to follow.

One on the best experiences in Catania. I was the only one person in Englisg speaking group, so I basically had a private tour 😉 I’ve heard great stories about the palazzo and really enjoyed the experience. It was a bit short but i believe it was worth it.

(Translated by Google) for those who want to eat excellent fish cooked impeccably, I recommend this restaurant !! Cozy location, professional waiters and attentive to customers! The price is related to the quality of the food and the service! (Original) per chi vuole mangiare ottimo pesce cucinato in maniera impeccabile, consiglio questo ristorante !! Location accogliente , Camerieri professionali e attenti ai clienti ! Il prezzo è rapportato alla qualità del cibo e del servizio !

Very nice place for hosting lunches and dinners. This is a former home of a prince. Visiting the main building, you are able to see at least four halls, which are decorated with old paintings and furnitures from past centuries. If you are planning to set or attending an event here, then you should know in advance that there is no air conditioning inside. It could be particularly painful when there are more than 150 people inside.

Amazing little gem Chiara was a really good guide (also very good English) and shared a lot of interesting facts around the palace which made the few rooms even more enjoyable. Guided tour costs 10€ and lasts around an hour. Available in several languages also (other guide was speaking Spanish). Totally recommend

You can't understand anything without the guided tour (there were none in English when we got there). We paid 8 euro each, and felt like we got nothing in return..

Very nice palace. Worth a visit but make sure you take the tour with it. Without the background info it is just half the fun.

We had a very good tour guide in English, who told interesting stories about the palace. It is defenetily worth seeing with a guide.

The palace is absolutely stunning, our guide Ciara was perfect and gave us many details which we appreciated! Strongly recommend.

Recommend to visit in Catania. Beautiful small palace with very interesting excursion. Better to send them email to clarify available days and time in advance.

Just wooow. They had a fair inside today so visit was for free and without some booking in advance.

Highly recommended! Although everyone else was Italian or French, we (2 persons) got an extra tour in English with many details and interesting and juicy fun facts. We had an excellent guide who was very responsive to us. We really enjoyed the tour and laughed a lot. Thanks so much! ❤️

Beautiful palazzo and the guide is very knowledgable about the history being a descendant

Nice interior space when elaborate baroque style decoration. We joined the English tour and learned interesting family stories and also cool that the family still lives in this palace.

Loved ehat i saw, but for the price we should've been able to see more. Only two rooms available.

(Translated by Google) Great location, great quality and perfect and fast service. Tasty dishes. Value for money: adequate if you pass by Catania you cannot miss it! (Original) Ottima posizione, qualità ottima e servizio perfetto e veloce. Piatti stuzzichevoli. Rapporto qualità prezzo: adeguato se passate da Catania non potete mancare!

The most beautiful baroque palace!!!

Very different palace. At first quite dark, not glamourous at all until one enters the dance hall. Beautiful, unusual staircase on one side.

(Translated by Google) The fresh fish counter gives an excellent impression when entering the restaurant. Nice staff. My choice went to the orange onion salad and boiled cod in small pieces as a very good appetizer and excellent paccheri with aubergines, swordfish and almonds and to finish a slice of ricotta and almond cake. Reservation is always recommended (Original) Ottima l'impressione entrando nel locale alla vista del banco del pesce fresco. Personale gentile. La mia scelta è andata sull'insalata di arance cipolla e baccala bollito a pezzetti come antipasto buonissimo e paccheri con melanzane pesce spada e mandorle ottimi e per finire una fetta di torta ricotta e mandorle. Si consiglia sempre la prenotazione

(Translated by Google) the place looks very good. great food served and presented well. special mention for the mixed fish appetizer of remarkable variety and quality. efficient and never intrusive staff. (Original) il locale si presenta molto bene. ottimo cibo servito e presentato bene. menzione particolare per l'antipasto misto di pesce di notevole varietà e qualità. personale efficiente e mai invadente.

(Translated by Google) I was expecting something more distinctive .... I'm sorry the customer has to find and sit on limp tables ... Downhill. Beautiful location .... Too bad that it is out of air conditioning ... Excellent dishes ... Tasty and appetizing. (Original) Mi aspettavo qualcosa di più caratteristico.... Mi dispiace che il cliente debba trovarsi e sedersi su dei tavoli che zoppicano... In discesa. Bellissima location.... Peccato che è sfornita di climatizzazione... Piatti ottimi... Gustosi e appetitosi.

Really interesting place! Stunning interiors and interesting history that isn't overwhelming.

(Translated by Google) All Yummy (Original) Tutto Buonissimo

(Translated by Google) Skyrocketing prices, poor food I give 1 star only for the kindness of the waiters (Original) Prezzi alle stelle, mangiare scadente do 1 stella solo per la gentilezza del camerieri

Stunning place. A guided tour helped bring the Palace alive .

(Translated by Google) Endless waiting. (Original) Attesa infinita.

Beautiful castles but you don't get to see much, maybe 30% of the hole building.

One of the most beautiful villas I have ever seen! The host of the tour was delightful! Super funny and very interactive, being related to the family who owned the villa, the host had wonderful insights and anecdotes. Fun host, pretty villa and amazing pictures
