Things to do & see

Try Palermo’s tasty street food, we recommend Chiluzzo at the square Santa Teresa (closed in the evenings and on Sundays)
Visit the Sanctuary of the city’s patron saint Santa Rosalia on Mount Pellegrino (leave your bags at the hotel!), it will take you about an hour to get there by bike depending on your level of fitness. The climb is not too hard and the views of Palermo bay are magnificent!
Stroll through the famous street markets Ballarò (around the corner), Vucciria (10 mins walk) or Capo (around 10 mins from the hotel). The markets are quite crowded in the mornings so we recommend you leave your bike at the hotel.
