About Palermo
Palermo is Sicily's vivid, layered capital - a city where Arab-Norman cathedrals, street food markets descended from North African souks, and Baroque squares occupy the same few blocks. Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO) has European low-cost connections and is the most convenient entry point for western Sicily, including Cefalù, Segesta, and Selinunte.
