About Palermo

Palermo rewards travellers who look past the surface: a Norman palace built on Arab foundations, a chapel of golden mosaics, markets that have traded for a thousand years, and a civic culture that has openly confronted the Mafia. Two standout ways in are the Palazzo Conte Federico: Exclusive Tour with the Owning Family in Palermo, where the aristocracy itself walks you through a lived-in palazzo, and the Palermo No Mafia Walking Tour: Discover Anti-Mafia Culture in Sicily, which turns the city's recent history into a story of resistance.

Frequently asked questions

Palermo layers Phoenician, Arab, Norman, Spanish and Bourbon rule into a single cityscape, so a good guide connects the layers rather than listing monuments. Tours here often pair architecture with living culture: the Palazzo Conte Federico tour is led by the owning family, while anti-Mafia walks trace the city's civic history through real streets.
