Easy Palermo

Learn about Palermo and see the sights mostly from the comfort of your motorcoach. Drive to Mount Pellegrino, standing isolated from the mountain chain surrounding Palermo, almost as if protecting the city. Here enjoy a great panoramic photo opportunity of the city at its feet. In Palermo, drive along Via Liberta, considered to be the most important street in the city because of its size, the elegance of its shops and the double row of plane trees which line this majestic way. See the 19th century Teatro Politeama, and Via Ruggero Settimo. Pass Via Maqueda, and the neoclassical Teatro Massimo, Palermo's Opera House, built at the end of the 19th century.

At the intersection of Palermo's four original streets, marvel at Quattro Canti, the Four Corners, where you’ll find four statues in groups of four, symbolizing the seasons, the Spanish Kings, and this city's patron saints. See the magnificent Cathedral, the product of the blending of centuries of Muslim and Christian history and culture, before visiting Foro Italico. Continue on to Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Piazza Marina, surrounded by historic buildings of unquestioned artistic beauty. You’ll make a stop in Piazza Marina to enjoy an ice cream.
