Location
Situated in the very heart of this enthralling city on the bustling
Via Roma 389, the famous Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral,
in Quattro Canti (the city's central "Four Corners" crossroads)
is a short walk away.
The magnificent Capella Palatina, in the Palazzo
dei Normanni, the city's most striking example of Norman architecture
and Teatro Massimo, Italy's largest theatre, are
also close by. Then enjoy the peace of the 12th-century ruined monastery
of San Giovanni degli Eremiti. With its Norman
bell tower and Islamic cupolas, is a lovely confluence of architectural
styles - and surrounded by subtropical gardens of pomegranate and
jasmine.
A stroll through the hub of the city leads to the lively Vucciria
Market, which fills the side streets of Piazza San Domenico
every day but Sunday. Here, the real flavour of the city is brought
to life as locals haggle with vendors over every imaginable kind
of produce.
Arriving from Palermo Airport, the airport terminal station is
only 1.5km away. Almost all trains arrive and depart from Palermo
Central Station. Regular connections also link Palermo to all other
destinations on the island of Sicily and the other major Italian
cities.
