Palermo is not just a city to visit — it’s a city to breathe, listen to, and taste.
A living mosaic of civilizations and cultures, where every corner tells a story that spans millennia.
It’s the perfect destination for a day trip, easily reachable from Sciacca with our guided tours.
Among Noble Palaces and Ancient Civilizations
Palermo’s historic center is one of the largest in Europe.
Wandering through its alleys and squares, you’ll find the majestic Cathedral, the regal Palazzo dei Normanni with its stunning Palatine Chapel, and the grand crossroads of the Quattro Canti.
Every building and every balcony reveals layers of history — Arab, Norman, and Spanish influences blend in perfect harmony.
Palermo is truly an open-air history lesson.
The Historic Markets: The Beating Heart of Palermo
The historic markets — Ballarò, Capo, and Vucciria — are the soul of the city.
Between colorful stalls, the shouts of vendors, and the scent of spices, you’ll experience the most authentic and vibrant side of Palermo.
Here, street food reigns supreme:
try pane e panelle (chickpea fritters), milza (spleen sandwich), sfincione (Sicilian pizza), and arancine (rice balls).
Each bite is a journey through Palermo’s rich culinary culture.
Hidden Art and Spirituality
Beyond the famous landmarks, Palermo hides precious treasures like the Oratories of Santa Cita and San Domenico, where Giacomo Serpotta’s stuccoes tell sacred stories with extraordinary expressiveness.
For the more curious or daring, the Capuchin Catacombs offer a fascinating and eerie journey through ancient rites and devotion.
Devotion and Folklore: The Feast of Santa Rosalia
Every July, Palermo comes alive for the Festino di Santa Rosalia, its beloved patron saint.
A celebration that blends faith, folklore, and spectacle, with decorated floats, traditional songs, and spectacular fireworks lighting up the city.
