Start your journey with a guided stroll through Palermo’s lively streets, exploring the historic Ballarò and Vucciria Markets, the city’s most famous and vibrant food markets. As you walk through its colorful stalls filled with fresh seafood, aromatic spices, and Sicilian delicacies, you’ll learn about the city’s unique blend of Arabic, Spanish, and Italian influences. After exploring, head to a local home kitchen for a hands-on Sicilian cooking class.

About Palermo

Palermo, capital of Sicily, is a port city of Arab-Norman palaces, gilded mosaics, baroque crossroads and street food.

Palermo was founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by Arabs, Normans and Spaniards, and the layers show in its buildings. The Norman Palace holds the Palatine Chapel, glittering with gold mosaics, and the cathedral mixes Norman, Gothic and Baroque styles. The Arab-Norman monuments, with the cathedrals of Monreale and Cefalù, are listed by UNESCO.

Top-ranked sights in Palermo: Massimo Opera House (Teatro Massimo), Capo Market (Mercato di Capo), Vucciria Market (La Vucciria).
