Edgy and eclectic, Palermo is a symbol of all that Sicily stands for. From buzzing Vespas to the bustling Vucciria market, it simply brims with life.
Wonderful Palermo Cathedral glows radiantly in the Mediterranean sun. Nearby is the city’s last Sicilian Puppet Theater, and across the street is a palm-filled park housing Roman mosaics, though the best are in the archeological museum. At one end is the Norman Palace, a government building home to the fabulous Cappella Palatina, whose gold mosaics are absolutely breathtaking.
Equally magnificent are the gold mosaics lining the 12th-century Monreale Cathedral on the city’s outskirts. Wander the cloisters and note the varying columns and capitals – each pair is different.
Palermo also has fascinating churches: 2 of the oldest are 12th-century San Giovanni degli Eremeti and San Cataldo, each with red, Islamic-style domes. Gesú Church has an incredible Sicilian Baroque interior, while La Martorana’s frescoes are awe-inspiring. A street away is Quattro Canti, an intersection with a fountain in each corner.
Other attractions include the round Teatro Massimo, Mondello beach and Monte Pellegrino mountain overlooking the sea. You get fabulous views of this picnic spot as you fly into Palermo Airport before heading to your Booking.com accommodations.

Palermo is a city with so much history as evidenced by the many thematic walking tours. So many monuments, churches, even markets to explore as the city is famous for 'street food' Italian for ... 'street food' :) We walked alot but our first day there was a holiday - May 1 - so we did not experience a full lively Palermo until the following day. If I were to return I would take a historical walking tour to learn about the many civilizations that came to this island and the resulting languages - dialects - that apparently still change from neighborhood to neighborhood. Sicilians are proud of their country and in Palermo they are proud of their city - their pride is contagious!

The architecture, the cultural attractions, monuments,...
The architecture, the cultural attractions, monuments, theatres, churches, classic fountains from so many cultural influences was magnificent. It is a completely different sort of holiday in that your days are filled with trips to view their wonderful history. Food is varied but a wonderful culinary experience at good value prices. Restaurants are everywhere!
So different from tasteless high rise hotels in beach resorts with swimming pools!
Palermo & Sicily has character.

Went to Palermo with intention of seeing the Norman mosaics.
Went to Palermo with intention of seeing the Norman mosaics. We saw them but I advise people to be aware that entry to Palazzo dei Normanni is not necessarily available at times tourists might expect so be aware.
The best meal we had there was dinner at I Cucci, Piazza Bologni. Great food at about 50 euro a head with wine

I thought Palermo was unloved and uncared for.
I thought Palermo was unloved and uncared for. The pavements are broken so you can’t walk on them. The roads potholes everywhere. The people were miserable, disinterested in politeness. Felt unsafe walking in the evening as many young people in groups on scooters riding precariously. The food we tried was low standard for the price, ( touristy). Taxi’s very expensive 30-40 Euro for a 10-20 min journey.

At first, it was a great shock entering the city.
At first, it was a great shock entering the city. So dirty, full of garbage and food waste in the streets. We saw people sleeping on the mattress in front of the church. Nobody cleans after dogs, and even after horses that take tourists for a ride in a carriage.
For dining, we took a wrong turn from the central squre and went down Via Vittorio Emmanuelle in direction of the sea. Wich was a mistake. Lot of fast food eateries, offering more or less same bad menu.
Next 2 days we discovered there are good restaurants (like Salina on Via Maqueda) offering fresh fish, sea shels, shrimps and lobsters. And even street food dining can be a treat (like in Ciurma, again on Via Maqueda). Slowly we started appreciating the charm of the city and it's inhabitants. We had a good time after all.
We stayed at Hotel Posta at the end of our time in Sicily, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. We loved its location for its proximity to markets, shops, and restaurants, as well as its convenient proximity to the airport bus. The staff were lovely and helpful with our check-in and check-out needs and questions, and they put together a wonderful breakfast service. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and lovely, and the rooftop terrace was a wonderful place to spend the evenings. We loved this building and the staff of Hotel Posta!
The location is fantastic, the hosts were incredibly helpful and the place is absolutely spotless and more like a boutique hotel stay than an air bnb.
Carpe Diem is brand new and the decor has been done tastefully, with high quality and attention to detail.
We have travelled extensively and this is a true find- the best bnb we have ever stayed at.
Ariana took our breakfast requests in advance and showed up with warm croissants and homemade cappuccino each morning along with fruit, yogurt, juices and more! An absolutely outstanding stay!
One of the best apartment hotels I ever stayed in Italy. The location is great, right in the center close to most of the attractions. The apartment is newly renovated was very clean with attention to details. In the kitchen they had everything needed- a lot of coffee, salt, olive oil. The check-in was very easy - the guy responsible Valerio was super nice and very helpful reachable by phone all the time. Our coffee was finished and Valerio and his colleague was so nice to bring more for us ( they didn’t have to at all).
The best breakfast we had in Italy. Every morning, the host prepared a fresh homemade breakfast and also took into account any allergies of other guests.
The room was spacious, clean and cozy. The B&B is located near to the train station and in the middle of a tourist area with many nice restaurants and views.
The host was exceptional: When I got ill during my stay, she even contacted a doctor, translated for us and helped us buy medicine.
If we return to Palermo, for sure we will be staying here again!
I stayed here for only 1 night, but I felt how caring and responsive the owner is. It was interesting to talk with him about Palermo and Sicily, people's customs and culture. In general, I have noticed that people here are very friendly and open. I really liked the location of the accommodation. It is such a prestigious and quiet area of the city. I discovered the divine cafe Spinnato, which is next to the hotel. I have never drunk such delicious coffee!
Thank you for your hospitality!
The host was very friendly and gave some helpful advice about where to eat and shuttle bus to airport etc. When he wasn't there his son was just as friendly . The room was very large,very comfortable and kept clean by a nice lady. The location is excellent for the centre of Palermo everywhere within walking distance. The breakfast was impressive, quality and selection is the best we have had in Sicily. We would definitely stay here again
An exceptional, generous and beautiful place to stay in a tree-liked neighborhood in Palermo. Every detail has been considered, every person you meet is kind and helpful, and the rooms are extremely comfortable with every amenity—more than most luxury hotels! The breakfast is superb and intimate. I look forward to staying again as Family Affair is truly one of those places you want to keep a secret because it is just that good!
We loved everything about the place. First of all, Kathy is an amazing person! She was warm and welcoming, her breakfasts were amazing. She gave us suggestions for food and sightseeing. The whole place was very stylish, clean and so comfortable. Walking distance from the historic centre. The best place we stayed in Sicily. If I went back to Palermo, I would stay there again without second thoughts!
This is the place if you want to experience the real cultural Sicily, with the noisy ,bustling market on the street below [dont worry, great soundproofing balcony windows]. The charming hostess gave me a detailed advisory of places i had to visit. The apartment was nice and cosy and very well equipped. Anything you might need to shop for is only a short walk away. I loved Palermo in general,
It was a really nice place to be, very central and right by the beach. There were good shopping options nearby, it was especially nice to have a baker nearby. The host was very friendly and welcoming, and she helped us a lot. She knew a lot about the area and Sicily and gave lots of good advice. So we would definitely recommend staying in this apartment if you are visiting Palermo.
The location is as good as it gets near the center of the old city of Palermo. The building is modern, room was clean and with comfortable beds. Breakfast was great. Staff was very helpful: we took a transfer from the eastern part of Sicily and the driver was not familiar with the city of Palermo. Staff helped him live over the phone to drop us off at the door.
Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. Very clean, comfortable cozy beds, and a beautiful, charming aesthetic. Very well appointed, recommendations for food and drink, and plenty of info on Sicily. Serena and the rest of the staff here were very warm and attentive, and the breakfast is incredible. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Palermo if I returned.
Lovely boutique hotel. Nice rooms with interesting and tasteful decor. Good location for Palermo which is a thought site to be in. Greatly appreciated the availability of garage parking which is really essential in Palermo and street parking is almost impossible. Good breakfast although no hot food was available. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean.
Casa Ricasoli is a homely, beautiful flat located in one of the best neighbourhoods in Palermo. It looks absolutely beautiful, very artsy and has everything you need to have an amazing stay in Palermo. Marcello also provided a 5 star hotel breakfast for our stay, including homemade muffins! This will be your home away from home in Sicily.
For a fantastic accommodation option in Palermo, consider Isula. It offers a charming atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and convenient location, making it an excellent choice for exploring the vibrant city of Palermo. Luisa is very friendly and ensures a memorable stay in Sicily's capital. We will come back :)
Very helpful host (Filippo); clean, spacious and luminous bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast was also good.
Close to transport hubs (5min to train station for airport and 15min to train station for Cefalù).
One of the best rooms we have had during our tour of Sicily (and they were all pretty decent).
The hotel staff were very pleasant and accommodating. They allowed us to leave our bags while we traveled for 5 days to other regions in Sicily. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable, thus, this hotel more than met our needs.
It is just on the bank of the sea, quiet area but close to the town (20min by bus) , clean and comfortable appartment, nice hosts.
The beach is much cleaner than the rest of Palermo.
It was not a luxury hotel but we loved it.
Our best accommodation in Sicily. Lovely hostess. Tasteful decor in a heritage building. Lovely breakfast in quiet garden. Modern conveniences in vintage setting. Close to all main sights and many restaurants.
The rooms were spacious, modern & clean. The breakfast was the best we had in Sicily. The service with Anna & staff was amazing! The location could not be beat!
