Had been there 30 years ago when things weren’t great for Palermo. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit, by contrast. Great vibe. Good restaurants, willing to innovate and plenty to see.

4/5 - Good

Palermo is not a Paris, London, Florence etc. It’s a city with substantial history and it’s location allowed us to do multiple day trips to learn more about its rich culture. Research before going as it won’t satisfy all
