​Get a feel for the rich history, culture, and architecture of central Palermo on a 3-hour guided walking tour. Your English-speaking guide will take you to Norman Sicily churches and beautiful palaces, through bustling city squares and famous old street markets.

Head first to the Teatro Massimo and learn about Italy’s largest opera house, known for its perfect acoustics. Then visit the beautiful Palermo Cathedral and Royal Palace, both dating from the 12th century and part of UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites. See the Church of the Gesù, one of the most important Baroque churches in Palermo, as well as the Praetorian Palace, an outstanding palace of the 15th century.  

Continue to Pretoria Square, referred to by locals as the “square of shame” for the nudity of its fountain statues. You’ll also visit the nearby Bellini Square where you’ll see the Church of San Cataldo and Martorana Church, two more Norman Sicily–era churches and UNESCO World Heritage sites.  

The tour starts at 10:30 am in Piazza Olivella, just in front of the entrance of the Salinas archeologic museum and it ends in Quattro Canti. The cost of the tour is €30 per person (2 person minimum).

If you arrive in Palermo by cruise ship, the meeting point is at 10:00 am in Via Francesco Crispi 230, in front of the President IBIS hotel, just in front the port exit .
