About Palermo
Palermo sits between a rugged coastline and the mountains of northern Sicily, which makes it an unusually good base for getting out of the city and into the landscape. You can climb the flanks of Europe's highest active volcano on the Mount Etna and Taormina Full-Day Excursion from Palermo, or trade the bus for a saddle on the Palermo: Off-Road Bike Excursion Between Sea and Mountains with Local Product Tasting, which pairs coastal and mountain tracks with a tasting of local produce. Both show how quickly the scenery shifts once you leave the urban grid behind.

Frequently asked questions
Palermo is wedged between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Sicilian mountains, so within a couple of hours you can be walking a coastal reserve, riding mountain tracks or standing on a volcanic slope. The variety is the point: sea, limestone cliffs, forest and lava in a single day out, rather than one uniform landscape.
