Fascinating self directed history detective tour of bustling Palermo..

Palermo is an amazing city and if you are interested in history and seeing beautiful architecture, this trip is for you. When you get to the start point, a tip from us is to eat at the very nearest cafe in the park. It is excellent and not at all expensive...
