Take an extraordinary journey to discover the main monuments of the center of Palermo on this convenient guided tour. I will accompany you to discover fascinating history, monuments and legends but also facts about the daily life of Palermo and the Sicilians. We will meet a stone's throw from the Teatro Massimo, the largest in Italy, symbol of the Palermo of the Florios and you will hear the mysterious legend of its ghost. We will take a look inside the Cathedral of Palermo, a UNESCO heritage site, where the glorious kingdom of Sicily was born. We will stroll through the lively Mercato del "Capo" of Arab origin where it will be possible to make a free stop to taste the delicacies of the Palermo street food. We will stop in front of the incredible Fontana della Vergogna a few steps from the markets of Ballarò and Vucciria.
