After breakfast at the hotel, enjoy a full day dedicated to the visit of Palermo and Monreale with your local guide: you will be walking in the pedestrian area of the historical centre of Palermo, one of the largest in Europe, and discover Martorana Church, Piazza Bellini, Piazza Pretoria, “I Quattro Canti di Città - the four corners”, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the ancient “Cassaro”, Piazza Bologni the Cathedral (internal visit) and the outside of the majestic Norman Palace.
You will also have the chance to taste Palermo’s delicious street food at a typical local market.
Then you'll proceed to visit Monreale, perched on a hill a few kilometres from Palermo: its Cathedral is one of the most beautiful monuments in Italy, with its Moorish architecture and fine mosaics representing a complete cycle of the Old and New Testaments.
Come back to Palermo and enjoy a tour of Palermo from above at sunset.
Palermo’s skyline is beautiful: there are many special places with stunning views over the mountains surrounding the city, giving you the impression you could touch its domes and bell towers. Terraces and walkways along the parapets were exceptional observation posts to control and protect the area, but also to enjoy the most important religious events. This is a walking tour along the city's historical centre, accessing to the tops of beautiful buildings, with a final tasting in one of the most elegant terraces of Palermo.
