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.

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.

Sicily - Palermo (Italy) - Sicily with beautiful women. Most well dressed tribe in the world ????????
Sicily - I made that video in Sicily (Italy) with some of my friends. It is a playful video that I made in Palermo and Cefalu.
Palermo - Italy
See the best accommodation Palermo is a city in Insular Italy, the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Province of Palermo. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old. Palermo is located in the northwest of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The city was founded in 734 BC by the Phoenicians as Ziz ('flower'). Palermo then became a possession of Carthage, before becoming part of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and eventually part of the Byzantine Empire, for over a thousand years. The Greeks named the city Panormus meaning 'complete port'. From 831 to 1072 it was under Arab rule during the Emirate of Sicily when it first became a capital. The Arabs corrupted the Greek name into Balarm, the root for its present-day name. Following the Norman reconquest, Palermo became capital of a new kingdom (from 1130 to 1816), the Kingdom of Sicily. Eventually it would be united with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Two Sicilies until the Italian unification of 1860.
The population of Palermo urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 855,285, while its metropolitan area is the fifth most populated in Italy with around 1.2 million people. In the central area, the city has a population of around 650,000 people. The inhabitants are known as Palermitans or, poetically, panormiti. The languages spoken by its inhabitants are the Italian language and the Sicilian language, in its Palermitan variation.
Palermo is Sicily's cultural, economic and touristic capital. It is a city rich in history, culture, art, music and food. Numerous tourists are attracted to the city for its good Mediterranean weather, its renowned gastronomy and restaurants, its Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque churches, palaces and buildings, and its nightlife and music. Palermo is the main Sicilian industrial and commercial center: the main industrial sectors include tourism, services, commerce and agriculture. Palermo currently has an international airport, and a significant underground economy.[citation needed] In fact, for cultural, artistic and economic reasons, Palermo was one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean and is now among the top tourist destinations in both Italy and Europe. The city is also going through careful redevelopment, preparing to become one of the major cities of the Euro-Mediterranean area.
Roman Catholicism is highly important in Palermitan culture. The patron saint of the city is Saint Rosalia. Her feast day on July 15 is perhaps the biggest social event in the city. The area attracts significant numbers of tourists each year and is widely known for its colourful fruit, vegetable and fish market at the heart of Palermo, known as the Vucciria.

Palermo, the Kalsa Quarter (EN) - Sicily - Italia.it
The Arabs conquered Sicily in the 9th Century A.D., leaving unmistakable traces of their rule. They entered via Palermo's Porta dei Greci, where one can still see La Saracinesca (Trap for the Saracens). They founded the Kalsa, a name deriving the Arabic al-Khalisa, meaning the elected or chosen one.This community still maintains its own personality: the people speak a dialact resembling Arabic, but not only. Here the most beautiful embroidery and needlework is produced, and visitors will be amazed by the traditional street foods on offer.

PALERMO - Favourite place in Sicily

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!

Sicilian sweets, Palermo, Sicily, Italy, Europe
The best desserts in the world? You can find them in Sicily. Word of the Los Angeles Times. The Californian newspaper in a report by the editor Susan Spano, sent to Erice (Trapani), praises the delicacies displayed in the windows of the pastry shop of the Convent of Maria Grammatico, praising them as precious jewels worthy of a Swiss bank. In addition to celebrating the famous cannolo, the journalist is immersed in a fantasy world of colors and flavors, that of Sicilian pastry. The Sicilian confectionery art in fact indulges itself, from the green cassata made of almonds, vanilla, sugar and candied fruit, to perfectly shaped fruits in marzipan, bearings with a lemon flavor, buccellati wrapped around figs, sighs and Easter lambs prepared for Good Friday for the famous celebration of the Mysteries in Erice . But the Los Angeles Times is not the only foreign newspaper to appreciate Sicilian tastes. The French newspaper Le Figaro also exalts the sensual and explosive taste of Sicily. The palate this time is aimed at the delicious marzipan sweets also called martorana fruit: You will find them in any pastry: they are colorful almond pastries, fruits that look real. Strawberries, peaches, prickly pears, it's hard not to fall for it! I'm the track of two centuries of Arab presence that reaches us in all its sensuality and its remarkable caloric contribution .
