Palermo is famous for its street food, which has become popular among the locals wanting to eat quickly during their lunch break. You'll try many local specialties as you explore the markets of Palermo, learning about the city's traditions and culture as you go.
Walk with your guide past some important monuments, including Teatro Politeama and Teatro Massimo.
At Il Capo market, taste some fried panelle (thin chickpea fritters), crocchè (potato croquettes) and other specialties such as sfincione (pizza) and caponata (eggplant stew).
See the Cathedral of Palermo and San Cataldo Church en route to Passami o Coppu.
Sample coppu (street food served in a paper bag) and arancini (rice balls); then, wrap up your culinary adventure with some cannolo -- a Sicilian dessert made with ricotta cheese.
