Palermo, the capital of Sicily, boasts a rich history stretching back to its founding by the Phoenicians in 736 BC. Conquered by various empires throughout the centuries, Palermo has been shaped by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spaniards, each leaving their mark on its architecture, cuisine, and culture.

Today, Palermo is a vibrant city with a mix of medieval and modern influences. Visitors can wander the narrow streets of the Kalsa, the historic city center, and admire the magnificent Palermo Cathedral and the Norman Palace.

Foodies can indulge in street food markets like Ballarò and Vucciria, overflowing with fresh produce, seafood, and Sicilian specialties like arancini (fried rice balls). The city also offers a thriving arts scene, with world-renowned opera performances at the Teatro Massimo.
