What to do in Palermo, Sicily | Italy Travel Guide by Made of Journeys
Palermo is not only a surprisingly beautiful piece of Sicilian history, it's also it's main stop for amazing food, outstanding architecture and lovely people. Watch now!
Blog:
For millennia at the crossroads of civilizations, Palermo delivers a heady, heavily spiced mix of Byzantine mosaics, Arabesque domes and frescoed cupolas. This is a city at the edge of Europe and at the centre of the ancient world, a place where souk-like markets rub against baroque churches, where date palms frame Gothic palaces and where the blue-eyed and fair have bronze-skinned cousins.
Centuries of dizzying highs and crushing lows have formed a complex metropolis. Here, crumbling staircases lead to gilded ballrooms and guarded locals harbor hearts of gold. Just don't be fooled. Despite its noisy streets, Sicily’s largest city is a shy beast, rewarding the inquisitive with citrus-filled cloisters, stucco-laced chapels and vintage stores filled with the threads of faded aristocrats. Add to this Italy’s biggest opera house and an ever-growing number of vibrant, new-school eateries and bars and you might just find yourself suddenly, unexpectedly in love.
We hope you enjoyed watching our video about the contrasting city of Palermo. Please, give us your feedback in the comments session below!

What is Palermo really like? // Vlog
Before visiting any city, I like to quickly read a little about the safety and areas to avoid. I adopted this practice after ending up in what was apparently the worst part of Athens. I know not to believe everything I read on the internet, but you have to start somewhere. When reading about Palermo, I was nervous to read many accounts of peoples scary experiences and of course talk of the mafia. I was pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves in Palermo, how warm the people were (even though we don't speak italian), and how safe I actually felt (even though we were staying in one of the supposed areas to avoid.) Our airbnb host was wonderful and I found that most of my interactions with people were playful and light. We did get to visit the Ballaro Market, one of three famous markets in the city, which was definitely my favorite part. Enjoy and share with your friends!

STREET FOOD in ITALY | SICILIAN street food in PALERMO, SICILY | Sicilian MARKET food +
STREET FOOD in ITALY | SICILIAN street food in PALERMO, SICILY
We're in Palermo, Sicily! In this 3 part series we're exploring Palermo to hunt down the best Sicilian food. Palermo has a thriving street food culture that's big on offal and punchy, bold flavours.
This is our first video from Palermo and it's all about Sicilian street food and traditional Sicilian food! We start the day at one of Palermo's most popular local markets- Ballaro Market. Ballaro Market is packed with fresh produce, meat and seafood and has an abundance of ready to eat street foods to sample. Some of Palermo's most beloved street foods are here so we start with frittula. Frittula is a snack you won't find elsewhere in Italy it's made up of leftover scraps from a calf carcass that are boiled and then fried in lard. Next up it's time for some seafood- pulpo or octopus simply boiled and served with a squeeze of lemon and sardine rolled and stuffed with breadcrumbs, pine nuts, parsley and raisins. Before leaving the market we eat some snails- babalucci which are cooked in garlic and parsley. They're mouthwatering! We head for more food at one of our favourite trattoria's which is close to the market for some seafood pastas- swordfish and eggplant spaghetti for Thomas and cuttlefish and cuttlefish ink spaghetti for Sheena. Finally, we head to a famous local bakery to sample some Sicilian sweets for which the island is well known. #streetfooditaly #sicilianfood #sicilyfood
We hope you enjoyed this Sicilian street food video, thanks for watching!
What we ate and where we ate it:
Frittula, octopus, sardines and snails at Ballaro Market, Via Ballaro, 1, 90134 Palermo PA, Italy. Open daily 7:30am to late afternoon. Arrive in the morning for frittula as it sells out quickly.
Pastas at Trattoria Bersagliere, Via S. Nicolò All'Albergheria, 38, 90134 Palermo PA, Italy. Open Monday to Wednesday 12:00pm to 4:00pm and 6:00pm to 10:00pm, Thursday to Saturday 12:00pm to 4:00pm and 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Closed Sunday.
Cassata and Torta Settevelli at Pasticceria Cappello, Via Colonna Rotta, 68, 90134 Palermo PA, Italy. Open Thursday to Tuesday 7:00am to 9:30pm.
