Palermo, Sicily Italy

Life in Palermo is vibrant. The city is densely packed with people and buildings, and the bustling markets make the narrow sidewalks difficult to navigate. Amidst the narrow, impoverished streets, lush gardens flourish, and hanging laundry mimics the colorful banners of a public celebration. Take a leisurely walk along Via Roma up to Corso Vittorio Emanuele, taking in the sights of the squares and the grand cathedral. The Palazzo dei Normani is a remarkable blend of architectural styles, with its Byzantine mosaics serving as a testament to the city's Golden Age. Just around the corner, the ruins of the Church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti stand, its pink domes protecting a unique cloister garden. The National Gallery of Sicily, located in the Palazzo Abatellis, boasts an impressive collection of paintings and sculptures. In the mornings, be sure to visit the expansive open-air Capo market. Most of Palermo's nightlife can be found in the beach district of Mondello, where you can join the throngs of young Italians enjoying seafood from seaside food stalls and indulging in gelato.
