Graveyards might not be the first thing to cross your mind when it comes to tourist attractions, but they can reveal a great deal about a place. Explore SantOrsola Cemetery for some clues to the past and its people.

Sant'Orsola Cemetery is an ideal place to start out your day in Palermo. This burial ground comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other attractions like Teatro Massimo, Palermo Cathedral, and Palace of the Normans to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.

Staff was helpful, generous and friendly. Accommodated early and late checkout. Took time to serve us a sweet and orient us with a map/list of restaurants. Breakfast was served at table with platters of pastry, meat, cheeses, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt-very good!! The room was a little run down (we had Junior suite)-but for that it would have been excellent!!

Ballaro Market

4.5/5(59 reviews)

Buy freshly caught fish, eat Sicilian specialties and search for vintage clothes at a market that has been serving Palermo's residents for centuries.

The best views over magnificent Palermo are from the bell tower of the church [and I'm talking here about the best way I could have spent 2 EUR!].
You must wear a helmet, which ends up as a very stylish accessory.
