  1. The Mercato del Capo is a burst of colors, flavors, and sounds. This traditional street market is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Palermo's daily life, taste local foods, and discover the variety of Sicilian products, including fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, and much more. (20 min) Admission included
  2. The Catacombs of the Capuchins offer a unique experience, where visitors can explore corridors housing thousands of mummies. This fascinating and somewhat eerie site provides a look into the practice of mummification and Sicilian funerary traditions. (30 min)
  3. Monreale boasts one of the world's most beautiful cathedrals, renowned for its impressive gold mosaics. Travelers can visit the Monreale Cathedral to marvel at its Byzantine splendor, explore the Benedictine cloister, and enjoy breathtaking views over the Conca d'Oro and Palermo. (1h 0min)
  4. Porta Nuova, the historic gate of Palermo, serves as a majestic entrance to the old city. Erected in memory of Charles V's victory in Tunis, the gate combines Islamic and Renaissance architectural elements, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Palermo's military and artistic history.

  6. Also known as Piazza Vigliena, Quattro Canti is the baroque crossroads at the heart of Palermo, where four ornate facades meet.

  7. Piazza Pretoria, also known as the "Square of Shame" due to the nudity of its statues, is home to the stunning Pretoria Fountain. This exquisite 16th-century fountain, adorned with intricate sculptures, is a highlight of Palermo's artistic heritage. The square's beauty and history make it an essential stop on your tour. (10 min)
