About Palermo

Palermo rewards first-timers who look past the postcard sights and into its living culture, from puppet theatres carrying centuries of storytelling to kitchens where Sicilian cooking is still a family affair. Start with the Palermo Pupi Tour: Legends, Battles and Sicilian History, a short and vivid introduction to the city's iconic marionette tradition, then go deeper with the Palermo Sicilian Cooking Class with Renowned Chef: Authentic Private Home Experience for a hands-on taste of local life.

Frequently asked questions

Palermo's entertainment is rooted in living traditions rather than staged spectacle. First-timers get the most from small-group formats where a local guide or host explains the context, such as the city's famous puppet theatre or a private home cooking session.
