  • Approaching the city center you will feel the aura of another era

An era with houses built of stone, in baroque style and Norman influences scattered throughout the city. Palazzo Dei Normanni is the Norman palace of 1130, with its wonderful Byzantine mosaics, which testifies to the political and cultural presence of the Normans in the city. In front of it, green gardens with tall palm trees compose an exotic landscape in the heart of the city.

  • And it’s time to talk about food, because Italy without food… is impossible

Beyond the traditional Italian pasta and pizzas, Sicily is known for its sweets and food specialties. Cannolo is the must-try Sicilian dessert, a combination of crispy pastry dough with fresh ricotta cream inside, sprinkled with powdered sugar. If, on the other hand, you prefer salty flavors, we recommend one of the most famous Sicilian dishes, the traditional Arancino. Delicious fried rice balls in various shapes and sizes, with a delicious filling of your choice.

  • Mondello

Golden beach, crystal clear water, bright sun, fresh fish and real paradise. Mondello is around half an hour (by bus) from the center of Palermo and promises you moments of relaxation and carefreeness on the warm sandy beach.
