How to reach Messina

Messina is in the very northeast corner of Sicily, just across the Straits of Messina from Villa San Giovanni near Reggio Calabria.

The best way to reach Messina is through the Catania Fontanarossa airport (about 115 kilometres away from Messina). There are weekly scheduled flights from many European cities and several daily flight connections from other Italian cities including Rome, Milan, Naples, Bologna, etc. Once arrived in Catania, there are different ways to reach Messina.

From Catania Airport to Messina

From Catania airport to Messina, there are several public buses. There is a direct bus service from the airport to Messina that takes approximately 130 minutes and costs roughly euro 10,00 each way. Tickets may be purchased at the airport or at the bus station and buses leave nearly every hour.

Alternatively, there are local buses leaving from the Central Railway Station in Catania and it takes approximately 2 hours to go via the inner roads. To get to the Central Railway Station in Catania you must take a city bus called Alibus, which leaves every 20 minutes from the airport to the Central Station Square (Piazza della Stazione). From there, several buses or trains go to Messina daily, 6 euro each way.

Messina bus/train station is a 10 minutes walk from the centre of town.

Messina is also connected with Reggio Calabria airport and Lamezia airport by direct shuttle bus. If you decide to arrive to Messina from Calabria region (for istance from Reggio Calabria or Lamezia airports) you can cross the Stretto di Messina by Caronte ferries boats from Villa S.Giovanni and by Ustica Lines boats (see https://www.aeroporticalabria.com/aeroporto-reggio-calabria-come-arrivare/)

If you want to reach Messina by train, please check the timetable of Ferrovie dello Stato.
