Don't miss that place!!!! This is a big mountain near the sea with a beautiful church on the top!!! Fantastic !! I really can't understand why this place isn't popular!! I was so disappointed by the city at all but this place smoothed my impression.

On a recent cruise stopover I chose the Mondello/Monte Pellegrino/Santa Roalia Shrine bus trip and was more than pleasantly surprised - the trip through Mondello was rewarding - best and most expensive area in Palermo - the ride up on Monte Pellegrino was all it promised to be, wonderful views around every bent, very curving roads and finally the Santa...

Wolfgang Goethe visited Palermo in the XVIII century and rated Monte Pellegrino as the most beautiful mountain in Europe. I haven't seen all of the mountains in the continent but I can state that is actually the most beautiful I've seen (so far). If you go on top visit the "Santa Rosalia" shrine: it's weird and really interesting. A public...

On the top hill, several miles from the city center, with a breathtaking view on Palermo from the various curves of the road going up the hill (mind: NOT from the destination itself), there is a place that seems to be very popular among the locals and tourists alike: the sanctuary of Sta Rosalia. Take the bus 812 from Teatro...

A quite impressive view of Palermo and Mondello. Worth the scary road to get there. On the way back to Mondello, find a place to stop to capture some unforgettable views.

This was quite tricky to find due to the inconsistent road signs, but follow the signs for "Santuario Santa Rosalia" and you'll get there in the end. We drove up here on a Sunday and found the locals parked up wherever they pleased, picnicking in the wooded areas. We found spectacular views on the way up and down, with the...

If you're in Palermo and seen all of it's attractions, then this is worth the bus ride. The bus leaves from Piazza Sturzo and is only a 20 min. ride. The ride on the winding mountain has great views but the best part is when the bus drops you off. You will find yourself in front of St. Rosalia's shrine....

The bus starts from the Piazza Sturzo so it means two buses from the station. It has to go a long way west through the streets of Palermo but the Monte becomes obvious on the right. Then it turns to go UP with increasingly good views of either nearby woodland or coast.
The terminus is by the shrine of Santa...
