Palermo
Street food, Arab-Norman churches and genuine grit.
Travellers come here for food, culture, beaches and nightlife.
When to go
Aim for April, May and June. Think twice about November, December and July — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.

Getting there
The airport is PMO. Palermo is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
