On this market tour in Palermo, we'll explore the authentic ambience of Sicily's capital and sample local delicacies.

Palermo Markets Tour

At the designated time, we will meet in front of the Church of Saint Ignatius in the square of the same name. We will start our tour of Palermo's markets, focusing on the best of Sicilian cuisine.

After introductions, we will walk to our first stop. Each of Palermo's four historic districts features its own market street. We will visit the most popular ones: Vucciria, Capo, and Ballarò.

Throughout the tour, we will discuss the importance of the markets in Palermo and their cultural and traditional significance. You will observe local street sellers, known as abbannìano, calling out prices and promotions.

You will have the chance to taste panelle and crocchè, typical Sicilian fried foods. Additional options include sfincione and arancina, and for dessert, we will have Sicilian cannolo or possibly ice cream if the weather permits, all accompanied by Sicilian wine.

We will conclude with farewells after a 3-hour exploration of Palermo's markets.
