City guide
Palermo
Palermo is Sicily's capital, shaped by Phoenician, Arab, Norman and Spanish rule and recognised by UNESCO for Arab-Norman monuments including the Palazzo dei Normanni and Cappella Palatina. Its markets, Ballaro, Vucciria and Capo, anchor a street-food culture, and Mondello beach lies a short ride from the centre.
