Located at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, the capital of Sicily has been at the intersection of civilizations for centuries, and is influenced by cultures, traditions and religions from the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Famous for its history, architecture, and food, Palermo evokes the imagination of many travelers, and has a distinct, almost mysterious character.
In this video, I explore the streets of Palermo, visiting some of the most beautiful and interesting sights, and trying the delicious street food. The footage was shot in February 2023, when I had the chance to travel around Sicily for 2,5 weeks.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start this trip to Palermo visiting some of the vibrant markets, where local Palermitani do their grocery shopping and catch up with friends and family. Often connected are the city’s famous street food stalls and restaurants, which are gaining a reputation around the world. Some of the most popular dishes include the ‘arancini’, ‘sfincione’ (fluffy Sicilian pizza), boiled octopus, and all kinds of other seafood.
After filling up our bellies, we are ready to explore the rest of the city, starting in the massive Cathedral, from where we can admire the city’s skyline. We continue our trip in the Norman castle, which is home to one of Palermo’s most visited sights, the Cappella Palatina.
The Quattro Canti, at the intersection of two busy shopping streets, is a popular place to socialize, and the area around it is filled with spectacular monuments. These include the Chiesa del Gesu, the Fontana Pretoria, and the monastery and church of Santa Caterina d’Allessandria.
We traverse Palermo and visit Garraffello square, to admire some of the intriguing street art. Not far from here is the city’s marina, which is also the location of one of Palermo’s most impressive murals, dedicated to two victims of the Mafia.
We finish our trip in the ‘No Mafia Memorial’, and Teatro Massimo, one of the largest opera houses in Europe, and a spectacular sight.

I'm a new subscriber after TH-cam dropped your video on my queue. This is exceptionally well edited and narrated without going over the top with illness and loud music. I love that you showcase the owners and staff of the establishments you visit. This is the first time that I feel like I'm with you right on these trips. Great job. Waiting for more on Italy and Europe (if that is what you intend to do).
Best
Tony

It's so dirty this city that you lose your appetite for anything. ..almost all Sicily was very dirty. ..they throw their garbage at the highways...
Sorry to hear about your experience.
The dirtiest and most ruinous city I have ever seen.
That bad? Sorry to hear that.
