What to expect
Explore the fascinating Palermo and its rich cultural and historical treasures, discover must-see Baroque and Norman-Arab architecture, and enjoy a tasty break on this 3-hour small-group tour.
Kick off your tour by visiting the city center and admiring the most important buildings from the outside: reach Piazza Pretoria, known as Piazza della Vergogna (Square of Shame), with its splendid marble fountain that gives the square's name, due to the nudity of its statues. Next, find in the same Square the Praetorian Palace, which houses the Town Hall, and then move on to the Royal Palace - now the seat of the Regional Parliament - a true cultural and historical gem. Here King Roger II, in 1132, added the magnificent Palatine Chapel, which is decorated with unique golden mosaics. Part of the itinerary also includes religious sites such as the Martorana Church, hailed as the most beautiful monument in the world in 1184 by an Arab traveler, and the Cathedral of Palermo, which you'll visit from the inside, where you'll discover a brilliant and unique example of stratification of styles, from Muslim to Normans to the Christian reconversion.
And don't worry, your taste buds will also be satisfied: a delicious Sicilian cannolo or granita will be offered, to leave you with yet another unforgettable memory of the city. Discover the charm, history, and culinary delights of Palermo on this incredible adventure!
