Palermo, Italy
Things to do in Palermo
Everything in the Atlas for Palermo: places to see and things to do, in one list.
Cappella Palatina
An Islamic muqarnas ceiling over Byzantine mosaics, commissioned by a Norman king, in one room.
Ballarò
A thousand years of shouted commerce, and the best street food in Italy under the awnings.
Monreale
6,500 square metres of gold mosaic twenty minutes uphill, which most Palermo visitors skip.
Palermo by street food
Panelle, arancine, sfincione, and — if you are brave — pani ca meusa. A thousand years of occupation in six snacks.
This page exists because Palermo has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Palermo.
