What our students said about Palermo
4.0
Palermo is a beautiful vibrant city full of interesting things to do. It is dirty and streets are full of garbage - but it is also a city with great weather, super friendly people, great food and tons of interesting things to see and do especially if you are an art lover. The city is SAFE and inhabitants are friendly and super helpful.

Information about Palermo
Why Palermo? Palermo is the capital of the Italian island of Sicily and sits at the bottom of Italy in close proximity to Tunisia and Malta, a city at the edge of Europe but at the centre of the ancient world. Palermo delivers a heavily spiced mix of Byzantine mosaics, Arabesque domes and frescoed cupolasa, it is a place where souk-like markets are found beside baroque churches and where date palms frame Gothic palaces. It is a thriving city that has seen huge development since the 80’s and its economy mainly centres around tourism and services. As a tourist destination, Palermo offers a huge range of historical attractions, ancient buildings, and dramatic coastlines to explore.
