Palermo

Sicily’s sparkling capital occupies a sundrenched spot on the Gulf of Palermo in the azure Tyrrhenian Sea. From Norman palaces to Byzantine mosaics and Arabic-style domed churches, the history of this ancient city is on display in every street and piazza. Discover the beautiful Palazzo dei Normanni with its intricately decorated chapel, the majestic Cathedral and the macabre Capuchin Catacombs. The perfect place to take some time out, be sure to shop for local produce at one of the bustling markets or simply unwind on one of the nearby white sand beaches.
