The Palermo City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: which street food stalls are worth the queue, where a trattoria dinner still costs €25, how to see the Norman mosaics without paying at every door and where the night goes after the aperitivo. Each guide is a short, honest list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Trattoria Piccolo Napoli
Piazzetta Mulino a Vento, near the port
A family trattoria running since the 1950s, with a courtyard and a dining room that has barely changed. Go for caponata, salt cod with red onion and mint or spaghetti with clams. From the food guide.
Taverna azzurra
Via dei Maccheronai, Vucciria
A pocket-sized tavern where the crowd ends up on the street, the drinks are cheap and the speakers play rock and punk. The best-value night out in the old town; closed on Sunday. From the nightlife guide.
Cattedrale di Monreale
Monreale, on the hill above Palermo
A Norman cathedral lined with thousands of square metres of gold mosaic, the finest in Sicily, with rooftop terraces that look down over Palermo. Give it two hours. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Play the game, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Palermo scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the historic centre. The guides carry on from there: arancine at a counter, dinner in a family trattoria, a cocktail in the Kalsa or a train along the coast to Cefalù the next morning.
