Near Terminal A check-in, you’ll hit Goodbuy Sicily – Land Side
This souvenir shop sits land-side in Terminal A, before security, so you can pop in even if you’re just dropping someone off. It focuses on Sicilian-themed gifts: magnets with Etna, Catania postcards, and small regional food items like pistachio sweets. Because it’s outside security, you don’t need a boarding pass to shop here.
Goodbuy Sicily – Land Side runs through the typical daytime operating window for departures in Catania, roughly from early morning check-in waves to the last evening flights in Terminal A. Expect airport pricing: keychains and magnets around a few euros each, boxed sweets and cookies climbing higher, especially anything branded with Etna or Taormina. It’s a quick stop if you have 10–15 minutes before heading to security.
Stock leans heavily on easy-pack items: small bottles of local liqueurs within cabin baggage limits, wrapped nougat, and compact ceramics that can survive overhead bins. Gift tins of sweets make decent last-minute presents, but glass bottles and heavier ceramics add weight fast if you’re already near your luggage allowance. If you want bigger regional food items, they’re better checked than carried.
Because this Goodbuy Sicily sits land-side, your best move is timing it with check-in. Buy souvenirs here while your bag is still empty, then head to security in Terminal A without juggling extra weight through the queues.
