Let's dive into the adventure of Palermo. The Palatine Chapel in the Norman Palace is an absolute must for every traveler. You can spend hours here trying to understand at least some of the stories told by the mosaics, but the rest of Palermo is waiting for us!

We stroll through the more hidden corners of Palermo and let the stories of the new generation of immigrants and the everyday life at the market take effect on us over a coffee. Only the police presence in front of the Chiesa San Francesco D’Assisi puzzles us until the background about the 'Antica Focacceria S. Francesco' and the active resistance against the mafiosi by brave Palermo citizens is told to us.

Roadbook
From the parking lot, it is about one kilometer to the Norman Palace. We should be there as early as possible because the crowds increase significantly from 10:00 when the buses arrive. Passing the parliament, we walk through the park to the cathedral and then through the maze of alleys to the Ballaro market. On our way, we see the most important monuments and end at the harbor. From there, taking a taxi back to the parking lot is worthwhile!
