WHAT TO EXPECT

Embark on a captivating walking tour through the historic center of Palermo, where art, culture, and everyday life beautifully intertwine. Begin your journey at the iconic Teatro Massimo, the largest opera houses of Italy, and dive into the vibrant heart of this ancient city.

Our adventure will continue through the lively Capo Market, a legacy of a distant Islamic past, where the aroma of fresh seasonal products will let us feel the beating heart of the ancient city. We will then head to the magnificent Palermo Cathedral, an extraordinary example of the rich UNESCO heritage of Sicily's capital. We will also discover the city's appearance during the long Spanish domination with the exuberant baroque style of the polychrome marbles in the Saint Catherine of Alexandria Church. A few steps away, Piazza Bellini will offer us a glimpse of the Arab-Norman past, with the churches of San Cataldo and the Martorana.

Nearby, we will then reach Piazza Pretoria with its fascinating Fountain of Shame, a Renaissance masterpiece full of secrets to be discovered. At the baroque square of Quattro Canti (four corners), the crossroads of Palermo's historic quarters, we will end our journey in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Founded in the 8th century BC, Palermo boasts over two millennia of history and a cultural layering resulting from the succession of numerous civilizations that have made their home here. These civilizations have left an indelible mark on the character of the people of Palermo and unique monuments declared a UNESCO site in 2015.

We look forward to welcoming you for a complete immersion in the historic center, discovering the colors, scents, and sounds that make Palermo unique.

You'll feel inspired and ready to continue exploring Palermo on your own.
