In evidenza
Palermo’s markets are a feast for the senses, filled with brilliant produce, creamy ricotta, fresh seafood and some of Sicily’s most iconic street food. On this five-hour tour, we’ll explore both the bustle of market life and the quieter neighborhoods where Palermitani eat every day. We’ll begin with coffee and pastries at an elegant café before visiting a celebrated local chef for anchovy panzerotti. From there, we’ll eat our way through Capo market, tasting fresh seafood and market specialties, and visit the workshop of one of Palermo’s last traditional puppeteers. At Ballarò, we’ll sample pistachios, candied fruits, local wines and stigghiola before continuing through the historic Jewish Quarter and Kalsa for panelle and Palermo’s famous spleen sandwich. We’ll finish, fittingly, with artisanal gelato.

Itinerario
The start of our Palermo tour, more than 10 full tastings in three different markets, explorations of local neighborhoods and visits to historic sites, this tour takes in iconic Palermo as well as lesser-known hidden gems.
At the lively Capo market, we will have a street snack of fried fish and stuffed sardine rolls. In the shadow of a Norman-era Church, where Byzantine and Arab influences come together, we will sample one of the city’s best arancina and panelle.
Visit to the workshop of one of Palermo’s last puppeteers to see how he brings Sicilian history to life through his craft.
In the Ballarò market, we’ll go from stall to stall as local shoppers do, learning about Sicilian agriculture and sampling local pistachios and other nuts, candied fruits and fresh seasonal fruit juice. No visit to Ballarò would be complete without a bite of stigghiola, grilled lamb intestines, a humble but delicious snack.
At Vucciria Market, we will have for a glass of minerally white wine from Mount Etna, to accompany a snack of octopus at a local taverna.
The tour ends in the Sicilian fashion, with an artisanal gelato, the sweet finish that unites this city.
