What to do in
Palerme ?
The city’s only nickname already promises a wonderful holiday. What is it? The happy city! And this happiness is nurtured by the unfailing sunshine that lights up even the narrowest of alleys in the old town, drying the laundry that hangs in the windows and caressing the green plants that brighten the balconies. The azure skies are perfect for strolling slowly around a city in the midst of a revival, which is modernised and safe, but still beautiful.

Bathe in the sea or in culture
See more See lessAssociated with the terrible Sicilian Mafia, Palermo has long suffered from an unfavourable reputation. Luckily, those days are over. The capital of Sicily is no less safe than the cities of Italy. That means you can safely visit as a couple, with friends or even as a family with your children, to discover the two faces of a city of contrasts.
There is Palermo the glorious… that of all the conquerors who for a thousand years have come to this shore, marking their power and their beliefs with fabulous monuments, enriching the city’s heritage without destroying what their predecessors left behind.
Then, there is Palermo the modest… a city of simple pleasures: the taste of panelle (little chickpea fritters), an ice-cold lemon granita, the rainbow stalls of Ballarò market, or the soft sand of Mondello beach…

The top 10 things to do in Palermo
See more See less- Step inside the imposing Palazzo dei Normanni (Palace of the Normans), the seat of power since ancient Rome, to discover the gem inside: the Palatine Chapel, which mixes the Roman, the Byzantine and the Arabic. Dazzling!
- Walk alongside the Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, which combines the charms of an Oriental palace and a Christian church.
- Rest a while on Piazza Pretoria, next to its Renaissance fountain, then walk just a little further to the heart of the city: the Quattro Canti. Four streets, four Baroque buildings: a superb place!
- Visit the unbelievable Church of the Gesù, an Italian Baroque masterpiece. Every square centimetre is decorated with moulding, sculptures, frescoes and marble.
- Make time for a look at the internal courtyards and faded façades of the palaces along Via Maqueda, walking until you get to the Capo market and the Teatro Massimo, the biggest opera house in Italy.
- Grab breakfast on the go at the Vucciria Market, and take your tastebuds on a daring adventure by trying an unusual local speciality: pani câ meusa, a veal lung and spleen sandwich. Sicily’s answer to the hamburger!
- In the warm season, take bus 806, which is the easy way to get to the sandy beaches and crystalline waters of Mondello, a cove worthy of the Caribbean.
- Descend into the catacombs of the Capuchin Monastery, to discover the 8000 mummies of monks and Palermo’s wealthy. Not for the faint-hearted.
- Wander along the paths of Palermo Botanical Garden, which is one of the most beautiful in the world with its 10,000 different species and its gigantic Moreton Bay Fig, imported from Australia almost two centuries ago.
- Relax on the huge lawns or the colourful benches of the Foro Italico, a long pedestrian promenade by the Mediterranean.

What is the best time of year to visit Palermo?
Situated at the very south of Italy’s boot and next to the Mediterranean, Palermo has a pleasant climate all year round. However, the capital of Sicily is most inviting in spring and early autumn, when the fruits of local production are at their best and the sun is not too strong. Remember, although Palermo is on the coast, it does not have any beaches. In summer, tourists abandon the city in the day and head for Mondello, a little exotic paradise. Another solution is to explore beyond Palermo for a few days and discover the rest of Sicily, which could not be more enchanting.
