Holidays in Palermo
Snap at your co-worker when they ask to borrow a Post-it? Are people starting to give you a wide berth? Yep. You clearly need a holiday. And we reckon it's time you took one in Palermo!
As you wander the city streets, you'll be rubbing shoulders with approximately 650,000 proud residents.
It is located 430 kilometres south of the country's capital, Rome, and 7 kilometres northeast of Monreale.
If you're travelling with the entire family, outings to Mondello Minigolf and the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa are sure to make you popular. If that isn't enough to tyre the young ones out, why not visit Acqua Verde and Bowling and Games as well?
If you're interested in knowing about the local plant species, make your way to the English Garden. Alternatively, spend some time wandering through the winding pathways and taking in the variety of plant and flower specimens at the Palermo Botanical Garden.
When you need to get away from the noise of the city, plan a visit to a green space like Villa Giulia or d'Orleans Park. You can also sit back with a newspaper and observe the world go by at Uditore Park and Parco Culturale del Gattopardo.
Feel like a bit of breathing space out in nature? Rejuvenate your senses as you appreciate the stunning landscapes of Mount Pellegrino.
If you're looking for a few tranquil places to collect your thoughts and maybe learn a thing or two, go to the Palermo Diocesan Museum and the Museum of Wine and Farming. Ask about walking tours or just study the interesting exhibits on your own. Want more? Also pencil in visits to the Stanze al Genio Museum and the Museo del Risorgimento Vittorio Emanuele Orlando.
These days you don't need to traverse the seven seas to see all the wonders of the world. You can just stop by places like the Regional Archaeological Museum and the Villa Bonanno instead, where an excellent variety of rare and exotic objects and specimens are on show all in the one place.
With a good number of intriguing art exhibitions to consider, you might need a friendly push in the right direction. We suggest picking up a coffee and heading over to the Regional Gallery or the Gallery of Modern Art. The Palazzo Belmonte Riso and the Villa Zito should also be a priority.
Uncover Palermo's past and understand the present at the International Puppet Museum. The Museo Etnografico Pitre and the Municipal Historical Archives are also dedicated to recounting the story of the region's rich heritage.
Travel back to the past by visiting Catacombe dei Cappuccini and Villa Malfitano. They're fabulous places to get a deeper understanding of Palermo's history. If that doesn't satisfy your inner history nerd, extend your sightseeing to Palermo City Hall and the Palermo New Gate.
Ponte Calatrasi is a timeless fixture in Palermo. While locals might seem to take it for granted, many visitors leave impressed by this reminder of a different age.
If you'd like a glimpse into the worlds of the rich and famous, a stop off at Palace of the Normans or Zisa Castle and Museum of Islamic Art is a no-brainer. But lo and behold, they aren't the only grand dwellings you'll stumble on in Palermo. Palazzo della Cuba and Palazzo Mirto are also worth visiting.
Many of us had childhood dreams of being a prince or princess. Castle of Maredolce looks as though it's jumped straight out of the pages of a fairytale book, so pay it a visit and discover what life as a royal is really like.
Visitors interested in exploring the religious heritage of the area should organise a visit to Cappella Palatina and Cathedral of Monreale. Alternatively, enquire into touring Cathedral of Palermo and San Giovanni degli Eremiti.
Among the biggest joys of venturing to new destinations is discovering places that aren't quite so well known, such as the Sicilian Region Central Library.
