Details

Experience Palermo like never before on a street food tour through the vibrant heart of Sicily’s baroque capital.

This immersive journey will take you into the city's 18th-century historic center, weaving through stunning churches, ancient monasteries, and grand noble palaces. As we stroll through the symbolic landmarks of baroque Palermo, you'll visit the impressive Church of San Giuseppe dei Teatini and the opulent Casa Professa dei Gesuiti, adorned with colorful marbles.

The market

A highlight of the tour is a visit to the lively Ballarò market, where you’ll wander through bustling shops and vibrant stalls brimming with fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, and a dazzling array of foods that delight the senses and satisfy culinary curiosity.

Palermo has long been renowned for its bustling markets, a tradition that dates back to the Arab period when Rabat, a village outside the original Punic city walls, was the center of trade. These markets, characterized by the vivid colors of fruits and vegetables, the aromatic scents of spices and fish, and the iconic abbanniata (chants) of the traders, remain an essential part of Palermo's cultural heritage. They are a timeless reflection of the city’s vibrant community life, serving as a point of reference for both locals and the many foreigners who have settled in Palermo over the years.

 

Tour Details

  • Starting Point: 15 min in advance, Quattro Canti (four corners), in front of the Church of San Giuseppe dei Teatini.
  • Duration: Approximately 3 hours (1.5 km walking route), including visits to the Church of Teatini and Casa Professa. Entry fees to monuments are not included.

 

These markets are not just a hub of activity—they are an extension of the baroque architecture surrounding them. The food in Palermo is as richly varied and vibrant as the city itself, embodying the baroque spirit in every bite.

The food experience
