Activity itinerary

Teatro Massimo (Pass by)

Start your walk at the Massimo Theatre in Palermo. Just open the app nearby to begin exploring! Marvel at this neoclassical temple of high art, built with enough ambition to rival Paris and guarded by bronze lions who have seen more drama than any opera.

Palermo Cathedral (Pass by)

Stand before a stone fossil record of Mediterranean ego, where a 12th-century mosque column and a Neoclassical dome coexist like a medieval knight wearing a 1700s top hat.

Norman Palace (Pass by)

Look up at Europe’s oldest royal residence, a massive limestone geologic record where Norman kings once stood on purple porphyry to remind everyone they were the true heirs to Rome.

Quattro Canti (Pass by)

Pause at the "Theatre of the Sun," a Baroque octagonal crossroads where the four seasons look down on a spot that historically balanced royal weddings with public hangings.

Piazza Pretoria

  • 15m
Admire the "Fountain of Shame," a 644-piece marble puzzle from Florence that famously scandalised local nuns with its unashamedly naked mythological residents.

Church of San Cataldo (Pass by)

Witness a slice of the desert in the city, featuring three iconic red domes that define Palermo’s skyline despite being a very stylish 19th-century restoration "fake".

Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio (La Martorana) (Pass by)

View a church that wears its history in layers, founded by a Syrian "Emir of Emirs" and eventually renamed after the nuns who invented marzipan fruit to prank an archbishop.

Mercato Ballaro

  • 15m
Wrap up your tour at the Ballarò Market. Take a moment to enjoy the view of the chaotic, thousand-year-old Saracen suq before ending your tour. Lose yourself in the operatic shouts of vendors selling everything from chickpea fritters to the legacy of ancient Indian trade routes.
