Best Tours in Palermo, Italy

Being one of the most visited cities on the island, Palermo is like nothing else in the world. This small province stretches out in Italy's northern Sicily and can easily become the highlight of your trip.

It is a sensual and fascinating city, famous for its diverse culture and characterized history. Every part of Palermo fascinates, but during your visit, you definitely won't want to miss the Palace of the Normans (an absolute "must" to put down on your Palermo itinerary). Some parts of this former royal palazzo date back to as early as the 9th century, making it one of the oldest royal seats in entire Europe.

Inside you can also find the renowned Palatine Chapel, also referred to as the Cappella Palatina. Built in the 1100s for the Norman kings, it is adorned with remarkable historic frescos and breathtaking gold interior decorations which have made it to our time practically intact.

What's for other places worth checking out during your Palermo tour, see the Palermo Cathedral which is more than 500 years old and is often regarded as the city symbol. Plus, make sure to stop by the most recognizable fountain of Sicily, set on the Piazza Pretoria, and visit the Church of St. John of the Hermits, noted for its unique architecture.
