Palermo Travel Tips

Palermo is opne of Sicily's extremely old cities with a fascinating history. Founded by the Phoenicians, it passed into Arab hands and was later taken by the Normans. Good weather will get you noticed.

All of these cultural shifts made the city rich in ideas, which lead to interesting architecture and cuisine--and lots of things for the tourist to see and do.

Palermo is quite large by Sicilian standards, the metropolitan area supports 1.2 million people.

For those who don't mind a little goulishness in their lives, an interesting place to visit is Catacombs of the Capuchins found in the Capuchino Monastery in Piazza Cappuccini, on the outskirts of Palermo. The catacombs contain mummified bodies, many in good shape that still look lifelike.
