Palermo Planning FAQ

All the details you need to plan a trip to Palermo

• How long to spend in Palermo: Again, I'd try to give the city at least two days—for the churches, markets, and art museum of the Old Center, the Cappella Palatina, and a day trip to nearby Monreale.

• A festival: Palermo's blowout festival is on July 14, when they celebrate "U Fistinu," the feast of patroness St. Rosalia, with costumed processions from the Cathedral down the Cassaro though Quattro Canti to Piazza Marina and a fantastic fireworks display over the harbor. There's a second, more somberly religious procession of the saint's urn itself on the next day.
