About Palermo

Palermo rewards first-timers who begin indoors, where Arab-Norman gold mosaics and Baroque stucco explain the city before you even step into its markets. The Palermo: Cappella Palatina and Palazzo dei Normanni Guided Tour is the classic entry point, pairing the royal apartments with the chapel's shimmering ceiling, while the Palermo: Church of the Gesù & Casa Professa Museum Tour offers a shorter, budget-friendly look at one of the city's most ornate interiors.
