Palermo is the capital of Sicily in the region of the same name, and is located on the north-western coast of the island in a fabulous inlet by Monte Pellegrino, described by some as The most beautiful cape in the world, which dominates the western border of the Conca d'Oro. Palermo has a mian airport bringing thousands of visitors to the city each year.
The city continues along the slope of the fertile agricultural zone famous for its citrus fruits, between Monte Pellegrino and Capo Mongerbino, the city turns inwardly, and climbs up to Monreale, with its superb views, the glorious Conca d'Oro also makes up part of Palermo.
Palermo’s food is saturated with fragrant products, flavours that are the right mix between the sea and the land. Sicily was occupied and influenced by many different races and this can be seen in the large number of dishes, full of spices, various aromas and produce that are found here.
Many restaurants and inns are close to the sea and their main dishes are based on seafood such as the unusual spaghetti alle vongole (clams) or with mussels, ricci, grilled fish and seafood.
There are also many pizzerias, all with wood fuelled ovens, both in the city and in the province. You can also try a wide array of antipasti made from traditional ingredients, our national dish in all flavours and shapes available.
It is important for people who work during the week to be able to have a great deal of choice during their days off, picking anything from the most relaxing of activities to the wildest nights of fun, so that all their demands can be satisfied. Palermo has a large number of nightspots, which can be found throughout the city.
