The photo was taken on 21 April 2022 in the late afternoon during my Easter trip in the historic city centre of the Sicilian capital Palermo.
The largest island in Italy is the sunny island of Sicily. It is washed by three seas: the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, the Ionian Sea to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the south.
Palermo has spruced itself up! As the capital of Sicily, Palermo was crowned Italian Capital of Culture in 2018 and this status has helped Palermo transform itself. Today, Palermo's old town is a smart pedestrian zone where once there was chaos and traffic. Palermo surprises with great sights, for which you should allow a few days.
The best way to discover Palermo is on foot or with the Hop On Hop Off bus, which promises an exciting round trip through the city and you can get on and off at various stops and thus take in a whole host of sights.
We recommend a tour of the old town, which you can easily do in one day and visit the most important sights in the centre.
