Palermo Holidays

A Sicilian seaside city

Jetting off on a Sicilian retreat? Many of our great holiday packages offer a choice of flights arriving into either Catania Airport or Palermo Airport, meaning you’ve got even more flexibility. When choosing your ideal package, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the flights that suit you best – and maybe cut down on your transfer time! – by selecting “Show more flights.” 

Filled with Arabian domes and Baroque splendour, the Sicilian capital is all about romance. Palermo holidays offer the chance to wander around faded palaces and mosaic-lined churches, graze on delicious street food, and discover some of Sicily’s incredible coastline.

In a prime position between Italy and Africa, the city has been occupied by Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Spanish (among others) over the centuries – and all have left their mark. As one of Europe’s largest historic centres, Palermo has a cluster of fantastic sights that couples and families who like history and architecture will love exploring, including the beautiful Palatine Chapel, the Norman (or Royal) Palace and the Teatro Massimo – Europe’s third largest opera house.

It’s not just about sightseeing, however: days in the city can simply be spent relaxing in pavement cafés, soaking up the vibrant street life and feasting on tasty snacks. For an intoxicating combination of sights, street food and the Sicilian way of life, holidays to Palermo are hard to beat.
