Mount Etna is the largest volcano in Europe! Mount Etna dominates much of Sicily's eastern landscape. It's always smoking and there are often some eruptions!
If you have not much time to climb or hike to Etna, you can take the Circumetnea railway ( 114 km long) and enjoy the landscape around Etna.InterRail Passes are not valid. Nice villages to visit on the Etna Volcano are: Zafferana Etnea, Randazzo, Nicolosi, Paternò and Adrano.
