First time in Palermo: Everything you need to know

With a striking blend of Arabic, Roman, and Norman architecture, charmingly chaotic street markets, and some of Italy’s most distinctive (and delicious) food, Palermo draws visitors from all over the world. If it’s your first time in Palermo, prepare for days spent exploring landmarks like the Cathedral and the Palace of the Normans, and evenings tucking into pasta con le sarde (a signature pasta dish with sardines and anchovies) in intimate restaurants.

From the best neighborhoods to how to get around, this first-timer’s guide covers all the things to know about Palermo.

My cousin and I really enjoyed our day today. Giovanni (the driver) was very friendly and attentive. He gave us complimentary drinks and snacks, and told us lots of useful information about Palermo. The views were beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant trip, good amount of time in each place to see everything. The bus is great, air conditioned and spacious. Our tour guide Lorenzo was brilliant. Highly recommend

I was able to see the part of Sicily and Mount Etna that would have been difficult on my own. Taormina wasn't presented so I would know where to go.
