Tips on: Places

Rosa Apartment suggests you immerse yourself in Palermo's culture by visiting historic markets such as ‘Vucciria’ and ‘Ballarò’, where you can experience the authentic energy of the city. Don't miss a walk through the narrow streets of the ‘historic centre’ admiring monuments such as the ‘Cathedral of Palermo’ and the ‘Palazzo dei Normanni’. End the day with a sunset at the ‘Foro Italico’, enjoying the sea view and the unique atmosphere of the Sicilian capital.
