City guide
Visiting Palermo in December
December is mild and festive with nativity scenes throughout historic churches and sweet cannoli piled high in traditional pastry shops.
Palermo is the captivating, operatic capital of Sicily, majestically set along a wide Tyrrhenian bay at the base of the sheer limestone promontory of Monte Pellegrino. The city is a vibrant crossroads of civilizations: Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spaniards each governed here, leaving an architectural and cultural mosaic found nowhere else on earth.
- From the airport
- Palermo Falcone Borsellino Airport (PMO) is located in Punta Raisi, 35 kilometers west of downtown. The Trinacria Express train operates directly from the airport terminal station to Palermo Centrale in about 50 minutes. Prestia e Comandè express shuttle buses run every 30 minutes to Piazza Politeama and Centrale. Official taxis cost approximately 40 to 45 euros.
- Getting around
- Palermo's historic center is extensive, but the four quarters fanning out from the central Quattro Canti intersection are very walkable. Free electric shuttles (Navetta Centro Storico) cruise along primary pedestrian corridors. For trips to the popular turquoise beach of Mondello, hop on public bus 806 from Piazza Politeama.
