Palermo
Cultural Treasure Chest
Palermo has everything from Byzantine mosaics to Arab-Norman palaces to exuberant ro-
coco chapels. This city is full of surprises: verses from the Koran scrawled on church
columns, Arabic marble inlay beside glimmering images of an all-powerful Christ, and
baroque domes atop medieval foundations.
Culinary Capital
From appetisers such as sarde in beccaficco (pine-nut-and-raisin-stuffed sardines rolled in
breadcrumbs) to the world's most scrumptious cannoli, every menu page is worth lingering
over. Don't limit yourself to restaurants - stroll through the city's bustling markets and dis-
cover its superb street food.
Puppets & Prima Donnas
Nights out in Palermo can mean many things: live music at one of Italy's great opera
houses, medieval tales performed by exquisite handcrafted puppets, an evening soak in a
Moorish steam bath, or bar-hopping the buzzing late-night streets.
