About Palermo

Palermo layers Phoenician, Arab, Norman and Baroque history into a single walkable city, so its historic sites and monuments function as the real attraction. A good starting point is the Discover Palermo's Charm: 3-Hour UNESCO Sites Walking Tour with Cannolo/Granita, which links the UNESCO-listed centre with a taste of Sicilian tradition, while the Palermo: Norman Palace & Palatine Chapel – Small Group or Private Guided Tour takes you inside the royal heart of the Norman kingdom.

Frequently asked questions

Palermo's history is unusually layered: Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, Arab, Norman, Swabian, Spanish and Baroque phases sit within a few streets. Guided walking tours and monument visits let you read that stratification in person, from the Norman Palace and Palatine Chapel to the UNESCO-listed centre, rather than viewing isolated sights.
