The area and getting around

Welcome to Palermo – Sicily’s capital city

Palermo is the capital of Sicily and home to its major international airport, making getting there from all corners of Europe a breeze. If you fancy upping the adventure-ante, follow the ghosts of the wealthy traders of times gone by, and travel by boat from Naples or Rome. Once there, you will find that Palermo boasts an eclectic collection of neighbourhoods with their very own distinct character.

A cool neighbourhood around every corner

The Old Town is a vibrant quarter that retains its old-world marketplace charm. Capo is a wonderful jumble of colourfully winding streets surrounding the Teatro Massimo. The harbour area is the place to go for delicious seafood restaurants running along the edge of the shoreline. Piazza Olivella has an electric atmosphere at night and is popular with younger crowds who come out to experience the famous Italian cheerful enjoyment of life, nay exultation of spirit, at its absolute finest!

Travellers and activities

Palermo for foodies

Sicily’s largest city is renowned worldwide for its world-class cuisine. With street food, grilled fish and ricotta-filled pastries luring you into their spell on what feels like every street corner, it is impossible not to indulge! For your main, order a pizza made using ancient Sicilian stone-ground flours and local toppings. Then for dessert, make it a Cannoli, Sicily’s most famous export and the not-to-be-missed Sicilian dessert, made from a fried, crunchy pastry shell stuffed with ricotta cheese. There goes the diet!

Palermo for museum aficionados

Palermo’s museums stand hand in hand with the cathedrals and markets as the city’s must-see destinations. Considered the most conquered town in Europe, Palermo has so many layers of history to explore. At the Regional Archeological Museum, trace the history of Sicily back from the prehistoric age up to the present. The Tesoro Museum, nestled inside the Palermo cathedral, is devoted to Sicilian royalty. Items from their long reign over the island are on display, including the crown jewels!

Palermo is Europe’s warmest city, thanks to its southerly location and local micro climate. A perfect winter break destination!
