    Where are staying near the esplanade. Why do the local set of explosive large fireworks along the esplanade at 4:30 am in the morning? And midnight? Should we wear earplugs to bed and close all the windows?

    • @WeArePalermo
      @WeArePalermo 21 час назад

      Yeah, unfortunately, the whole random fireworks thing is a phenomenon that affects much of Italy from Rome down. There have been numerous police investigations trying to figure out why it happens, and the truth is, not much is clear. Some say it’s a form of communication between criminals, other times it’s for prisoners’ birthdays, or even just for neighborhood parties. The frustrating part is that not much is being done to stop this annoying practice, which causes a lot of stress for locals, especially elderly people and pets. There have been calls to the government to toughen the penalties for those setting off these fireworks and for those illegally selling them, but of course, nothing has really changed. So even if they catch people shooting them off or selling them in shady ways, the law doesn’t allow for harsh punishment. Italy’s an amazing country with a lot of incredible things, but like every place, it has its flaws and some inexplicable stuff that drives you nuts-this is one of those things. It’s been a problem for decades, and like many other issues, it seems like nobody really wants to solve it. Unfortunately, we locals have just learned to live with it. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. The best solution is usually earplugs and keeping the windows shut. Most locals install double-pane windows to reduce outside noise, but I’m not sure if the place you’re staying in has enough soundproofing to prevent those middle-of-the-night wake-ups

    If you are idiot, anywhere you go problem finds you, but if you are cool and you know things, no problems. People often forget that they're tourists anywhere they go except home. If you go to Palermo and you act like a idiot or you dont respect culture and land, well... Even home you gona get f if you are like that. Sicilia, Campagna and Calabria are something else. I lived in Palermo 2.5 years. Was visiting also Naples in Campagna, Crotone and Reggio di Calabria in Calabria provence. I love Italia. Best people and best land in world for me. Soon im gona return. If you respect em, nobody and never gona give you hard time. Even more, they gona protect you like their own.

      I'm totally with you on this one-couldn't have said it better myself. I've traveled a lot for work and spent tons of time in places that are technically considered dangerous, like Lebanon, Brazil, Mexico, and so many others, and honestly, I've had some of the happiest days of my life there. Like you said, it’s all about respecting the place and the people, not acting like an idiot. Sometimes we think that just because we can get away with acting a certain way at home, we can do the same everywhere we go, but that’s not how it works. Every place is different, and it's on us to adapt, show some respect, and just be aware of the culture we're in. It’s not the place that has to adjust to us. Keep your head straight, and you'll be fine anywhere

    No matter where you go on this planet, there is the positive and the negative you must live with. This became vividly clear to me after I moved to the Philippines in 2018. It’s what they warn you about if you plan to divorce and marry someone new. You’ll be marrying someone with a whole different set of positives and negatives. What is great about human intellect though is that we are able to adapt, to grow, and actually choose what to focus on in our environment and relationships and what to ignore. Essentially it is up to us to do that, and if we don’t, we don’t usually find the most contentment possible in our relationships and environments. Unconditional love is a great thing to possess, but not something everyone possesses. I love the Philippines and Palermo unconditionally. I know how to focus on all of the good people and things while ignoring the rest. ❤

    • @WeArePalermo
      @WeArePalermo 4 дня назад

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I totally agree with you. Wherever we go, there will always be positives and negatives-it's all about what we choose to focus on. I'm glad you've found a way to embrace the beauty of the Philippines and Palermo, focusing on the good rather than getting bogged down by the negatives. It’s exactly what I try to encourage in my videos: enjoy the incredible things that a place has to offer. Sure, no place is perfect, and I make it a point to be upfront about that, but the beauty often outweighs the imperfections. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your perspective!

    How much is a taxi from the airport …..we just got charged 85 euro and then he complained about dog hair

    • @WeArePalermo
      @WeArePalermo 6 дней назад

      Ciao! I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. Just so you know, taxi fares from the airport to different areas in Palermo are actually fixed. Here’s a breakdown of the official rates: - Viale Michelangelo/Viale Lazio: 39 euros - Corso Calatafimi/Corso Vittorio Emanuele: 44 euros - Central Station/Brancaccio: 50 euros You can double-check these prices and the corresponding zones on the official websites: - Palermo Airport: www.aeroportodipalermo.it/en/at-the-airport/reach-the-airport/taxi/ - Taxi Company 6878: www.6878.it/tariffe/?lang=ENGLISH If the driver agreed to take your dog, they really shouldn’t have complained about the hair. And if you were dropped off in Palermo (not outside the city), 85 euros is way too high. I hope you managed to get a receipt because that could help if you decide to report the issue to the taxi company. Unfortunately, if they didn’t give you a receipt or use the meter, it might have been a scam. I wish I could say otherwise, but without proof, it can be tough to resolve it, even if you go to the police or contact the company. I really hope things work out for you!

    We are going first two weeks in October to Sicily for 2 weeks. All the stays are arranged - flying into Palermo and renting a car. 3 nights Scopello, 2 nights Cefalu, 4 nights Lipari, 2 nights Taormina, 3 nights Ortigia. Flying out of Catania. We plan to rent a car for the first few days because we will take a day trip to Villafrati where my grandparents were from - so we will need the car to get there. They immigrated to the US in the early 1900’s. I want to see the town. What are your suggestions for where to turn the car in? We are thinking of Cefalu or Milazzo. We won’t need a car while in Cefalu, but have to get to the ferry in Milazzo. Would it be better to take a car service/taxi and not hassle with the driving? And when we go from Milazzo to Taormina, and Taormina to Ortigia? We plan to take private car service for Ortigia to CAT. Any advice on a reputable car rental? Many thanks!

You can check the stops for both the shared taxi and the shuttle here: www.prestiaecomande.it/orari-e-linee/. To get to Mondello, you'll need to get into the city first, then take bus 806, or you can explore other routes from the city depending on where you get off using this site: www.moovitapp.com/palermo-2804/poi/en. The only way to go directly from the airport to Mondello is by taking a regular taxi.

    • @WeArePalermo
      @WeArePalermo 20 дней назад

      Ciao! In early October, the weather is usually still good for the beach, with daytime temperatures around 23-25°C (73-77°F). However, since it’s already early autumn, the weather can be a bit unpredictable. In recent years, October has been a month when people still went to the beach, but it’s not guaranteed-you’d only know for sure closer to your trip. As for bars and restaurants, they’ll be open, but keep in mind it’s already the end of the season, so you’ll find very few people around, especially in the evenings. If you’re looking for nightlife, you’ll need to head into the city, as Mondello will be pretty quiet. But if you’re after peace and just want some nice places to eat and have a drink without the crowds, it’s perfect. It depends on what you're looking for!

      Ciao! Thanks so much for the kind words-glad you're enjoying the videos! About the Best Western Ai Cavalieri, the area is definitely safe. You're just outside Piazza Castelnuovo, which is basically our downtown. If you don’t mind walking, you can get to most places on foot, but you’ll need to be used to walking and enjoy it. The heart of the historic center, where everything happens, is Quattro Canti, and it’s about a 15-minute walk from your hotel. I haven’t personally stayed at this hotel, but I’ve had plenty of feedback from others who have. The location is great, but some rooms are a bit outdated and small-they could use a renovation. Wi-Fi can be hit or miss, and sometimes the service isn’t the most attentive. Overall, people are generally satisfied, but there’s definitely room for improvement. Hope this helps, and enjoy your stay in Palermo!

    My parents are from San Vito and took me there 50 years ago. In 2025 I hope to bring my son there so he can see our family's origins. I dream of walking the those streets again.

    you are a bit of a testa i minchia, don't believe him, the areas with migrants are not safe, ESPECIALLY if you are a female solo traveler!

    Hey! We are traveling to Sicily in September. We are landing in Catania and spending a couple of days there before heading to Palermo. I see there are busses going from Catania to Palermo directly. Are those reliable? Thank you for all the information on this channel :)

    • @WeArePalermo
      @WeArePalermo Месяц назад

      Ciao! The buses from Catania to Palermo are reliable, but you might also want to consider taking the train. It's more comfortable and faster. You can check the Trenitalia website for schedules and tickets

    So excited to come to Mondello! We are staying up in the mountains with a shuttle to palermo and a rented car. My question is, the dates we are going are September 26th til October 3rd, will we be able to go to restaurants and bars in Mondello around this time?

      Ciao! You're just hitting the tail end of the season, but don't worry-restaurants and bars in Mondello will still be open around that time

    I remember when i went to my dads village and visited my family,the men wearing capris and having those hokey close shaved beards, some even had pocketbooks .....no, im Sicilian,but im an American, i cannot dress effeminately, for hot weather, a tank top, relatively thin pants, low sox and breathable sneakers were fine...mind you, it does get very cold at night, or at least seems so after sun and 95 degree heat all day from 9am onwards...always have a good jacket ready at night...my leather jacket was unsuitable as it stopped the wind, but had no thermal protection. It gets very windy and cold in sicily at night , especially with the mountain top villages
