Mount Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe. It has the longest period of documented eruptions in the world.  Etna is noted for its wide variety of eruption styles. Nobody knows when the next eruption will be but even when there is no action, it is still a great sight to see and there is a fantastic view from the top.

Remember!  It is quite a bit colder at the top compared to the rest of Sicily, so take warm clothes.

There is parking near the top (for a charge) where you can stop and take in the wonderful views, grab a tea or coffee and something to eat at the café and buy some unique gifts and souvenirs such as bracelets made of volcanic rock.  There is also a cable car from there to the very top for an additional charge
