Palermo Travel Guide: 472 reviews and 1,147 photos

Great city and gateway to western Sicily

For each of my two trips to Sicily, I flew to Palermo and loved walking around and visiting this great regional capital. It has a rare and rich history, with a well-preserved legacy, whilst also offering an impression of a modern and messy city, like all southern Italy.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Architecture, food
  • Cons:Still needs some renovation
  • In a nutshell:Great and decadent
