I am a independent writer here in Brazil and wrote a book (first draft) last year that takes place in Palermo. Loved your travel guide so much, Rico, that july of 2024 went and visited Palermo by myself. Best trip of my life!
Ciao Nico! what rental company do you recommend? We plan to fly into Palermo. grazie mille
Thank you lov, you are the best ever😊❤
grazie mille ❤
Hi Nico what do you thimk about balestrate?
How about Balestrate? I m thinking about moving there
Ciao! Balestrate is a really small seaside town. In the summer, it’s pretty lively with a nice beach vibe, but in the winter, there’s honestly not much going on. There’s not a ton to do, especially during the off-season, so it really depends on the kind of lifestyle you want. It’s also about an hour’s drive from Palermo, and public transportation isn’t super frequent, especially in the winter. It’s a cute place, but maybe a little too quiet for some people!
Nico, Can you review-reccomend Hot springs thermal baths/ spas
Great video. After going across tons of vidoes which provide absolutely no information, this video is a gem. I'll be traveling to Sicily next week and im excited 😊
Thanks a lot! I’m really glad the video helped you out. Have an awesome time in Sicily next week! If you need any last-minute tips or advice, just let me know. Safe travels and enjoy! 😊
Your channel about Palermo is an absolute standout amongst this genre. I wish other cities had their own Nico, especially Messina.
Thank you so much for your kind words
i found ustica using the navigation feature on my old bmw lol
Is it still warm enough for a linen jacket/suit in Palermo area in November?
Ciao! November temperatures around Palermo can vary, typically from about 15°C (59°F) in the evening to around 22°C (72°F) during the day, but it can be a bit unpredictable this time of year. Linen could work just fine for daytime, especially if you’re coming from somewhere cooler-it’ll give you that light, breathable feel while it's still warm. In the evening, though, it might feel a little chilly for linen. Just so you know, linen is usually seen as more of a spring-summer fabric in Italy, so locals don’t often wear it in autumn. But honestly, it’s all about what feels comfortable for you
@@WeArePalermo thank you.
👍
This channel is really useful and entertaining for anyone considering travelling to Palermo. Thank you
The best most honest guide to visiting Palermo, and Sicily in general. Amen
thanks a lot 🙏
Thanks for the clarification Nico. So tell me, what do Sicilians eat for breakfast?
Ciao Sam! Sure! A typical Sicilian breakfast, especially in Palermo, usually means grabbing a cornetto with a cappuccino or coffee. Cornetti are like croissants but softer and fresher, often filled with different options like custard, honey, jam, pistachio cream, or chocolate. You’ll also find variations like whole-wheat versions, pan brioche filled with ricotta or cream, and puff pastries. For those who prefer savory, there are pieces of Palermitan rosticceria-basically savory pastries filled with ingredients like cheese or ham. These are great if you’re in the mood for something more substantial but still local. At home, a Sicilian breakfast tends to be lighter: milk, yogurt, cereal, or cookies. And unlike in the U.S., where breakfast is seen as a big meal, here it’s usually a quick, light start to the day. If you’re looking for eggs and bacon, that’s rare in traditional Sicilian spots, although trends are slowly changing. And just a heads-up about gelato: the best gelaterias in Palermo usually open later, closer to lunchtime, because locals don’t typically have gelato in the morning. In some tourist areas, you’ll see it offered early, but it’s more for visitors. So if you’re exploring Palermo in the morning, stick to the cornetti or rosticceria for a real taste of what locals enjoy
Excellent video thank you 😊
Can you reccommend a good spa or thermal baths. Thank you.
Love it!!!!
💚🤍❤️
Buggest tip …don’t dress like a tourist ….especially an American tourist
Exactly! That's the number one tip I give to everyone, and I try to follow it myself whenever I travel. The less you look like a tourist, the better!
We picked grapes on thé slopes of Etna and met some fabulous people who bred Sicilian Indigenous Dogs ….Truly beautiful animals
That sounds like an amazing experience! Those dogs are incredible! The Cirneco dell'Etna is an ancient breed, but also quite rare. I’m so glad you got to appreciate them
We followed Nico’s advice and loved Palermo ….. then went to dirty filthy Catania …where the local have a bad attitude …we will definitely be back to Palermo and skip Catania
That’s awesome to hear! Glad my tips helped you enjoy Palermo. You’re always welcome back anytime!
I loved Palermo!
❤
You need to know, for people like me who come from the cold, grey and sad north of Europe, Southern Italy and especially Sicily seems to be full of myths. 😏
Myths and sunshine, welcome! 😄
Grazie mile Nico!… hope to visit Sicila in June👊🏼 saludos desde California
Headed to Palermo in a month. First time to Italy, Been studying Italian for a few weeks. I used to live in Ireland and your advice is perfect advice for really any EU country. I do live in the states now though. Been learning the entire transportation situation in Sicily.
Thank you for this information.
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?
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
@@WeArePalermo thats very kind of you to answer so comprehensively. We still live Palermo and as you say we will shut the doirs and put the aircon on ….Grazie Mille
hilarious .... see u round the traps!
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
Nico, can you tell me if the walking tour is worth doing on Christmas day? We will be in Palermo only on that day and I can't find any information on what is open and what is not open.
Nico you are a real treasure!
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. ❤
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
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!
Tra poco andrò a Palermo. Le tue informazioni sono molto utili, grazie! L'abbonamento è premuto! E la linea ferroviaria Palermo-Messina? Puoi fare affidamento sui collegamenti forniti qui? Saluti dalla Germania del Nord!
Ciao! Sono contento che le informazioni ti siano utili. Sì, i collegamenti della linea ferroviaria Palermo-Messina sono affidabili e regolari. Ti consiglio solo di fare riferimento al sito di Trenitalia per controllare gli orari aggiornati e acquistare i biglietti. Assicurati di prendere i treni diretti e non quelli con stazioni di cambio, perché i tempi si allungano parecchio. Buon viaggio e goditi Palermo!
@@WeArePalermo Molte grazie per la risposta rapida! Distinti saluti!
I went to Palermo 15 years ago and it was perfectly fine but frankly, in my opinion, you want to wander outside the big Sicilian cities. Some of the greatest countryside I've ever seen.
That’s a great point! Sicily’s countryside is absolutely breathtaking, and there’s so much beauty beyond the cities. Exploring the rural areas gives you a whole different, amazing experience
Sono andato l' anno scorso a fine estate!! Ancora non riesco a guardare le foto! La città o forse l' esperienza mi ha lasciato delle emozioni fortissime!! L' ho sentita una città vicina alla mia personalità! Semplice, distratta e trascurata ma allo stesso tempo bella anche per questo e con una bellezza di diversi tipi: vivace e elegante allo stesso tempo. Piena di vita. Colori,arte,storia. I contrasti che ha, il cibo...Non l' ho sentita una città mediterranea,l' ho vista come una metropoli, con tante sfaccettature..quanto mi è piaciuta....
I love how you’ve captured the vibe of Palermo! It’s exactly that-imperfect, but somehow that’s part of its charm. Full of life, contrasts, and so much character. I’m really glad it connected with you on such a deep level
@@WeArePalermo Thank you! And I'm also glad you really got what I meant! I felt close to this city because It has all what I like so much and I was surprised too by the contrasts and the atmosphere lively and bustling!
"Focus on the Positive", this is great advice for any area of life! Thank you for the videos, I enjoy your city and look forward to returning!
You're absolutely right! Focusing on the positive can really change how we experience life in general. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and our city. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Palermo!
I went to Palermo last month and it was awesome, thank you Rico for all your videos, they really helped ❤
grazie mille a te ❤
💯 just enjoy the vacation!

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!
Thanks Nico, that's really helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing this info! I am staying in Mondello-would the shared taxi from the airport take me that far? I’m arriving around 10 pm
Ciao! Unfortunately, the shared taxi doesn't go all the way to Mondello. It follows the same route as the Prestia e Comandè shuttle bus. 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 thank you so much!
You are really special 🎉
Bellisimo 🎉
So very interesting - thank you for sharing 😢🎉
Don’t know about the spleen sandwich 😢
Ciao Nico, I am going to viwit Palermo in October (5-13.10). What di you think? Is is enough warm to swim? And will the bars and restaurants be open or is it already the emd of the season? Grazie mille!
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!
Tutte balle ! Palermo è una giungla!
Great video, thank you! Very entertaining and funny line. If I can ask, what is the best way of getting from the city center to mondello beach without a car?
Ciao! Grazie mille 😁 Check this out wearepalermo.com/news/mondello-guide/#Getting_to_Mondello_Your_Transportation_Cheat_Sheet
Ciao! The best way to get from the city center to Mondello beach without a car is by taking the bus. You can hop on the 806 bus, which runs from Politeama area, and it’ll take you straight to Mondello
Gracie Nico, we’re flying into Palermo on 9th Sept, spending a few days at Cefalu, then Taormina and back to Mondello for 5 nights. We plan to have a car for the whole time but wondering what parking is like on Mondello during September. Is it free street parking, or something else? Also, how do I get hold of your premium guide for best accommodation and restaurants? Ciao, Grant.
Ciao Grant! Parking in Mondello during September is a bit quieter during the week, but it can get busy on weekends. You'll find some free parking, but it's not easy to find spots close to the beach. There are also blue parking zones where you have to pay, so check out this link for more info: wearepalermo.com/news/vehicle-parking-palermo/. There are private paid parking lots too, where you can pay a day fee. For accommodations, you can check this out: wearepalermo.com/where-to-stay-palermo/. The premium guide is available here: wearepalermo.podia.com/the-sicilian-way. If you're only interested in restaurants, here's the link for that: wearepalermo.com/restaurant-guide/. But honestly, if you're just staying in Mondello and not planning to go into the city, you probably don't need any guide. Mondello is small and easy to navigate. Ciao, Nico
