Palermo: UNESCO Sites Guided Walking Tour

About This Experience

Palermo boasts many cultural and historical sites, including eight UNESCO sites. This small group tour lets you see the best attractions with a local snack. Over three hours, visit must-see spots in the city center, exploring Baroque and Norman-Arab architecture. You'll see Piazza Pretoria, known as the Square of Shame, with its fountain and nude statues. The Praetorian Palace, home to the Town Hall, is also here. Built in the 14th century and renovated in the 19th, you might spot the mayor. See the Royal Palace, now the Regional Parliament, called Palazzo dei Normanni. After the Normans arrived in 1072, it became the royal residence. King Roger II added the Palatine Chapel in 1132, known for its golden mosaics. Renowned for its beauty, the tour will also take you to the Martorana Church, which you will view from the outside. Finally, you'll visit inside the Cathedral of Palermo, which combines styles from Muslim to Norman to Christian.
