Nature Walk in Palermo

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Palermo's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Palermo is a glorious jumble of Arab-Norman architecture, boisterous street markets, and crumbling palazzos, where centuries of Mediterranean conquest have layered into a walking experience unlike any other Italian city.

Top Nature Walk Spots

•Ballaro and Vucciria markets — centuries-old street markets echoing Arab-era souks, with vendors hawking fresh seafood, street food like panelle, and Sicilian produce

Hidden Nature Walk Gems

•Oratorio di San Lorenzo — a small oratory with extraordinary Giacomo Serpotta stucco work, once home to a Caravaggio stolen by the Mafia
•Catacombe dei Cappuccini — eerily preserved mummies displayed in underground corridors, a macabre but fascinating site
