Overview

Take an extraordinary journey to discover the main monuments of the centre of Palermo on this convenient guided tour. I will accompany you to discover fascinating history, monuments and legends but also facts about the daily life of Palermo and the Sicilians. We will meet a stone's throw from the Teatro Massimo, the largest in Italy, symbol of the Palermo of the Florios and you will hear the mysterious legend of its ghost. We will take a look inside the Cathedral of Palermo, a UNESCO heritage site, where the glorious kingdom of Sicily was born. We will stroll through the lively Mercato del “Capo” of Arab origin where it will be possible to make a free stop to taste the delicacies of the Palermo street food. We will stop in front of the incredible Fontana della Vergogna a few steps from the markets of Ballarò and Vucciria. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful monasteries, churches and palaces that have made Palermo so famous. The tour ends in the scenic Piazza dei Quattro Canti, right in the centre.
