About Palermo

For a structured way to shoot the city's icons, the Palermo: Must-See Attractions Walking Tour with Private Guide puts you in front of the landmarks at a pace that suits a camera, while the Guided Tour of Norman Palace & Palatine Chapel in Palermo gets you inside interiors where gold mosaics and filtered window light do the work for you.

Frequently asked questions

For golden hour, head to the terraces and upper viewpoints around the historic centre, where low sun rakes across domes and rooftops. The Norman Palace area and its surrounding heights give you layered cityscapes as the light warms. Coastal spots west of the centre catch the sun dropping over the sea.
