On this market tour in Palermo, we'll explore the Sicilian capital and sample local delicacies.

Palermo Markets Tour

We will meet at the Church of Saint Ignatius in the square at the scheduled time. The tour will take us through the markets of Palermo to discover Sicilian cuisine.

After introductions, we will walk to our first stop. Each of Palermo's four historic districts has its own market street, with the most prominent being Vucciria, Capo, and Ballarò, which we will visit.

Throughout the tour, we will discuss the significance of these markets in Palermo and their cultural and traditional roles. We will observe local street vendors, known as abbannìano, as they announce prices and promotions.

As we explore the food on display, we will have the opportunity to taste local specialties, including panelle, crocchè, sfincione, arancina, and for dessert, cannolo or, depending on the weather, ice cream, paired with Sicilian wine.

The tour lasts 3 hours, after which we will conclude our visit to Palermo's markets.

Included

  • English–speaking guide
  • Tasting of 5 local products
