Description

Wolfgang Goethe once said: 'Italy without Sicily leaves no image in the spirit; here lies the key to everything.' Palermo, the multicultural capital of the Mediterranean, is a place where contradictions are hidden and displayed. Join us to discover this incredible city, full of alleys, churches, and hidden squares. On every corner, you'll find a story just waiting to be told, from the adventures of Arab princesses and the heroic feats of Norman kings, to the darkest part of our history: the Sicilian mafia. Sicilians have lived through all this, sometimes welcoming conquerors with hope and sometimes violently rejecting them, always in search of peace and prosperity. On this tour, I invite you to explore the most iconic places in downtown Palermo and discover the anecdotes that bring the city to life, from its origins to the present day, to understand the true essence of Sicily without getting lost in forgettable historical dates. Don't miss it!
