I really enjoyed visiting this market. The prices are a bit hiked because of the tourist traffic,…read morebut generally all vendors are similarly priced and serve similar items. I tried a fried whitebait fish plate and some orange juice. The sanitation is a bit suspect (food is out for hours with these propellers to ward off pigeons), and gets reheated in a microwave before it is served. Workers tend to use gloves that touch coins and bills and also directly handle food (sprinkled salt with the same hand). I think it's part of the experience, and I thankfully haven't had any issues (I have a sensitive stomach)! Good number of stands with pantry items (jarred items and bagged spices), some souvenir vendors, and other stalls for food and drinks. I traveled solo and felt safe the whole time but I also tend to have my belongings directly on my person in front of me and keep zipped pouches for other items. I was also able to pay with card at all vendors (though they preferred cash).

When in Rome... I mean in Palermo! We tried the Stigghiola,…read morewhich is a Sicilian delicacy, which was tasty but somewhat difficult to chew due to stringy texture. I know this is not a beautiful description, but it's worth the try! I enjoyed it. Be prepared for stimulus overload. Most obviously the "abbanniate" or the vendors' shouts to promote their products, as well as the lines and crowds. My aunt, being the kind soul she is, called out a pickpocketer in the act and he harassed her. Be sure to keep your belongings in a safe place. (Man pickpocketed had his wallet in his back pocket.) Try to order food in Italian, you'll get a better, friendlier response, even if it's not good Italian. The food is very affordable so step out of your comfort zone and try something new!

"If I die, bury me inside the Louis store" - 2 Chainz…read more This is the sole Louis Vuitton on the island of Sicily, located in the lovely tourist town of Palermo. Lots of cruise ships stop at Palermo's port, so it makes sense to have a high-end luxury leather store here. The store isn't huge, but it'll likely have all the LV swag you could need for the day. If they don't have, they can order it for you. Also, if you're not from Italy (you have a non-Italian passport), then you shop tax-free! The staff is very friendly. They have a monogramming machine in-store. I'll likely be back just because Palermo's a great city to visit.

There should be a zero... went in there a few weeks ago with my husband and had full intention of…read morepurchasing a cross body bag. Plenty of sales associates including one offering cappuccino and water to a well dressed brunette and her sugar daddy. Not one person approached us... sorry I wasn't dressed up to your standards. You're the one that lost a sale... I'm no Julia Roberts, but sounds like a scene out of Pretty Woman doesn't it!!!

Home run! Wow. I love hats and these are colorful and artful. They range from about 40 Euros up to…read more95. I bought 7 for myself and one for my dad and the kind clerk gave me 25 Euro off. There are two styles and fabrics ranging from wool to velvet to silk, cotton, cashmere and linen. Patterns from houndstooth to floral to solids and stripes and more.

This little restaurant is tucked into one of those quaint alleyways near the social center of…read morePalermo (close to Theatro Massimo). While the alleyways are narrow, and mainly restricted from vehicle traffic, it is by no means quiet. Motorcycles continue to ride past, aling with dozens upon dozens of pedestrians, all stopping to see what you've ordered. The sign says PIZZA but they offer none. Was disappointed to learn that they were unable to make my first two choices from the menu. In the end, went with a safe bet.....spaghetti and tomato sauce. Food was tasty, and the host kept us all entertained. We were not hassled by pan-handlers and the prices were really quite good. House wine was quite tasty and also priced well. Lots of choices in the area, and my opinion is that this place is a little better than average for the vicinity.

I absolutely love this mall and the wide selection of different shops and eateries in here…read more Some of my favorite stores are: Kiko Milano, Calzedonia, Tezenis, and Liu Jo, all classic Italian staples. In addition to the selection of stores here, there is a supermarket attached which is super convenient. This makes it a one-stop shop for all of your day-to-day needs. They have a parking lot convenient located out front. I think you have to pay a small fee of a couple of euros which is totally worth it. You could easily spend an entire morning in here.
