Edgy and eclectic, Palermo is a symbol of all that Sicily stands for. From buzzing Vespas to the bustling Vucciria market, it simply brims with life.
Wonderful Palermo Cathedral glows radiantly in the Mediterranean sun. Nearby is the city’s last Sicilian Puppet Theater, and across the street is a palm-filled park housing Roman mosaics, though the best are in the archeological museum. At one end is the Norman Palace, a government building home to the fabulous Cappella Palatina, whose gold mosaics are absolutely breathtaking.
Equally magnificent are the gold mosaics lining the 12th-century Monreale Cathedral on the city’s outskirts. Wander the cloisters and note the varying columns and capitals – each pair is different.
Palermo also has fascinating churches: 2 of the oldest are 12th-century San Giovanni degli Eremeti and San Cataldo, each with red, Islamic-style domes. Gesú Church has an incredible Sicilian Baroque interior, while La Martorana’s frescoes are awe-inspiring. A street away is Quattro Canti, an intersection with a fountain in each corner.
Other attractions include the round Teatro Massimo, Mondello beach and Monte Pellegrino mountain overlooking the sea. You get fabulous views of this picnic spot as you fly into Palermo Airport before heading to your Booking.com accommodations.
Enjoyed the many historical sites. Street trash is everywhere and graffiti and broken sidewalks Sad to see beautiful historical buildings poorly maintained. Felt safe and very walkable. Uber worked great when needed.

Fantastic City with great bus transport and lovely people.
Fantastic City with great bus transport and lovely people. The food was excellent. Our favourite place to eat in the day was Capo Market and we enjoyed fantastic seafood there and there was a fantastic atmosphere. In the evening there are loads of choice of eating places in lovely squares around every corner. The city comes alive at night and looks completely different from the slightly decayed look of the city during the day. Although the city has lost its lusture of days gone by, it is full of history character and charm. Make sure you visit Monreale and make sure you visit Mondello Beach. You can get to both of these places easily by bus.

Palermo is a city with so much history as evidenced by the many thematic walking tours. So many monuments, churches, even markets to explore as the city is famous for 'street food' Italian for ... 'street food' :) We walked alot but our first day there was a holiday - May 1 - so we did not experience a full lively Palermo until the following day. If I were to return I would take a historical walking tour to learn about the many civilizations that came to this island and the resulting languages - dialects - that apparently still change from neighborhood to neighborhood. Sicilians are proud of their country and in Palermo they are proud of their city - their pride is contagious!

The architecture, the cultural attractions, monuments, theatres, churches, classic fountains from so many cultural influences was magnificent. It is a completely different sort of holiday in that your days are filled with trips to view their wonderful history. Food is varied but a wonderful culinary experience at good value prices. Restaurants are everywhere!
So different from tasteless high rise hotels in beach resorts with swimming pools!
Palermo & Sicily has character.

Went to Palermo with intention of seeing the Norman mosaics.
Went to Palermo with intention of seeing the Norman mosaics. We saw them but I advise people to be aware that entry to Palazzo dei Normanni is not necessarily available at times tourists might expect so be aware.
The best meal we had there was dinner at I Cucci, Piazza Bologni. Great food at about 50 euro a head with wine

Loved our city break to Palermo.
Loved our city break to Palermo. Lots to see & do especially historical buildings & architecture. Beautiful city, plenty of reasonably priced Hotels & restaurants & not too many tourists
We stayed at Hotel Posta at the end of our time in Sicily, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. We loved its location for its proximity to markets, shops, and restaurants, as well as its convenient proximity to the airport bus. The staff were lovely and helpful with our check-in and check-out needs and questions, and they put together a wonderful breakfast service. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and lovely, and the rooftop terrace was a wonderful place to spend the evenings. We loved this building and the staff of Hotel Posta!
The location of the property is amazing! One of the main steets is like a few minutes walk and despite of that the street of the apartament is calm, so you can have a good night sleep. Additionally, the property is very clean, comfortable and it offers delicious italian breakfast. The terrace gives you breathtaking views of the Palermo. Furthermore, the host ir very professional, hospitable, it seemed like you can ask Alessandro everything and get the best advices about the Palermo and all Sicily. Would definitely stay again!
Amazing host, very helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home and gave us very useful tips. We could also store our luggage at the hotel before check-in and then found our luggage already in the room when we came back. The location was perfect if you want to reach all the nice areas by foot for evening and dinner, on top of that there are bus stops to Mondello beach and airport right in front of the apartment. There is also a very lively street food market just 100 m away where you can enjoy nice Palermo evening.
We stayed here a couple of days with our two kids. This modern first floor apartment in a typical “palazzo” is very spacious and well furnished with many details. The rooms have balconies overseeing Via Vittorio Emanuele (lively pedestrian street with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants…). The location is perfect to visit Palermo historical center on foot. The host was very helpful and did everything to make our stay to our liking and needs. We felt very welcomed. It was a perfect start of our holidays in Sicily.
My best friend and I visited for my birthday and had the absolute best time! We picked the hotel based on the reviews and were absolutely delighted with our stay. This is a fantastic hotel, the staff, the rooms, the location, the whole experience is 5 star. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, dinner recommendation from the hotel manager was excellent.
I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough for if you’re considering a stay in Palermo!
Excellent location in beautiful building. Very lively neighborhood in the very center of Palermo. Spacious apartment with very good furnishing. Vincenzo made sure that we were comfortable and found our way.
As I wrote before, this is a very lively neighborhood. You will hear the sounds of Sicily on the street while staying here, but don’t let that discourage you: It’s impossible to stay in the center of Palermo expecting otherwise.
The staff were amazing. They helped organize our taxis upon arrival and for day trips. Massimo and Alessio were very informative and gave tips of different places to visit throughout Palermo. They were extremely kind and welcoming! And the location was perfect !!! Close to the train station as well as in the city centre near all the action. The B&B also had breakfast every morning which was delicious and classic for Sicily.
Cute studio apartment in a great location in Sicily's old town. Located on a cute square that is convenient to old town, Palermo markets, the train station and many other key sites and attractions. Comfortable bed and facilities. The kitchen is stocked with the basics, including a coffee machine. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace on the last morning was a nice surprise!
The hotel is very well located, the rooms are very comfortable and very clean. good breakfast very practical. but the best thing is the hosts went to see us at the airport for the same price that they charge you at the airport and at that time in the morning with a lot of patience they helped us in many things it was definitely the best in sicily
We have traveled in many places in Sicily, and this was one of the best apartments we stayed in. Apartment was clean, big and modern. The balcony was lovely. We will most definitely come here again when next time in Palermo. One of the reasons we choose this, was that there was also a parking hall under the apartment.
We used the apartment as our gateway to Palermo/Sicily and the location is perfect for that purpose. Advise: if you are arriving from the airport, get of the bus as close to Via Sant Augustino as possibe and save a long walk from the Central Station. And as she said as we walked through the door: "I could live here!"
Beautiful old hotel. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Large, plentiful breakfast in beautiful room. Wonderful central location for exploring Palermo. Great sauna and roof top bar and terrace. Best Negroni in all of Sicily (Rome and Amalfi Coast).
Central to everywhere in Palermo.
Spotlessly Clean.
Friendly Owner.
Three times we have stayed here in our six times to Sicily.
1 minute walk opposite Taetro Massimo
5 minute walk from Piazza Politiamea(Bus stop from/to the
Airport.)
one of the best hotels we have stayed during our visit of Sicily. Housed in a historic building, it is centrally located. We got a room upgrade. Davide and Matteo and everyone else are extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
Super setting with gardens. Lovely rooms. Comfortable bed. Kindly let us check in early and made sure breakfast early because we had an early departure. Excellent staff who assisted us. Best hotel we stayed at in Sicily.
this city is not as exciting as most other "top choices" in Italy (or Sicily, as the case may be). And we walked at least ten hours through at least ten miles of avenues and side streets and by the water, etc
The best of the best places to live in Palermo or sferracavallo. I mean the owner is one of the nicest person we have met in Sicily. The room is beautiful and location is amazing!
Everything is perfect, location close to main attractions. clean and comfortable. Breakfast is the best in Sicily (Maybe in Italy) and definitely the best hostess Mariella .
