Climb Mount Etna
Sicily, Italy
Etna is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and the largest in Europe. She soars into the sky often with a halo of mist and steam and offers views to the sea and of Calabria on the mainland. The typical tour includes a funicular (cable car) ride just over halfway up, then some driving, and finally a hike to the very top where you can peer down into the steamy crater. Not into the climbing? Ride the local train that passes around its base. Or just walk around a bit at the end point of the 4×4 drive where most hikes start from. The views are still stellar there.
