    Via Roma is a main street in the center of Palerm, the most important city in Sicily Island. It is a street between the historical center of the city and the Kalsa neighborhood. So, it is a place, you will see, if you walk around the center. Typical big street, not more.

    Nice area just set back from the Marina. A large square with Giardino Garibaldi in the centre which has some massive Ficus trees with huge aerial roots. Lots of restaurants nearby which makes it a lively area in the evening. A great flea market around the garden on a Sunday morning. The Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri on the square is worth a visit - it is a museum to the Spanish Inquisition and also houses the famous Vucciria painting by Guttoso.

    Centro Storico is the old town of Palermo, the main city in Sicily. It is an area, which includes some old neighborhoods. Here, you can see the most important buildings of the town like some churches or the cathedral. In fact, it has two faces: it is very nice, interesting, full of people, you can see some street markets, discover some very nice narrow streets or gardens. In fact, you can walk all day here discovering places.
    On the other hand, these neighborhoods are degraded, you can see a lot of rubbish on the floor, a lot of strange people. In fact, it is not a very good place to walk at night, for example.
    Summarizing, the place where you can see the authentic life in Sicily: the best one and the worst one. Very interesting.

    This place is a bit tricky to find, we asked lots of people and got sent on wild goose chases but found it eventually. First catacombes I have ever visited. The archaeolgist/guide was very good but would have liked a booklet to buy to take home to read at leisure. Definitely worth booking, it's very interesting I could have listened to the history all day.

    Via Matteo Bonello is a street located in the old town of Palerm. In fact, it is between the Cathedral and Diocesan Museum in Palerm. It is a very nice place to walk and see the most important building in the city. Very beautiful.

    During our walking tour, we entered the Via Vittorio Emanuele through the Porta Nuova. This street is turned into a pedestrian area, so during a leisurely walk, we could see the Palazzo dei Normani with a beautiful park in front of it, the Palermo Cathedral, the Quattro Canti... We also saw beautiful palaces, but also some in a sorry state, neglected by their current owners...

    Domenico arranged a last minute private walking tour of Palermo for my sister and I. The tour guide, Simone, was very knowledgeable and thorough. His love for his native Palermo was a great start to our holiday in Sicily.

    A few days later, Domenico was able to arrange a private driver from
    Palermo to Segesta and Erice. The driver was friendly, prompt, flexible with meet up times and affordable. A great value!

    I am very thankful for all the arrangements that Domenico made to contribute to a great vacation!
