Arabs, Normans, French, and Spaniards - all these different dominations have left their mark on the city's progress over the centuries. Today, Palermo represents a unique mix of styles, architecture, and art. It's this blend of diverse cultures that has contributed to making the city a UNESCO World Heritage site. Your taste buds will be grateful as there will be many tastings (arancine, sfincioni, panelle, and much more) among the colorful and lively market stalls in the heart of Palermo. Its street food has been ranked among the most famous in the world. A must-visit for anyone coming to this city. Afterward, some free time and return to the hotel.
