Because of the diverse cultures mixing together throughout the centuries, Palermo is a genuine melting pot of influences. Set out to discover all the must-see sites in the ancient city, such as the wide, tree-covered Via della Libertà, the Politeama Theatre, and the Piazza Marina. You'll visit the marvelous, surprising Palatine Chapel—listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and filled with gorgeous Byzantine-style mosaics. Then, you'll stroll through the historic downtown, where you'll admire the amber-colored outside of the cathedral and its baroque cupolas, the Quattro Canti, and the Praetorian Fountain with its mythological figures and animals.
