The appartment was perfect! It is located very close to the Main Street with restaurants and bars and everything of the historic center is in walking distance. There are also some smaller ‘hidden’ streets closeby with good restaurants and bars.
Massimo gave us good restaurant advice and we loved to have dinner at ‘Sobremesa’. Palermo is a wonderful and vibrant city and we will definitely come back! :-)
Attention points for future travellers:
- Light sleepers may have some difficulties with the sounds coming from the street at night, but this was not a problem for us.
- For perfect communication, it would have been nice have more information on ZTL and parking.
For future travellers who come by car: Palermo has a ZTL system (limited traffic in streets of the center). You can buy a daily license for 5€ in a tobacco shop close to the apartment. As long as you activate the license (this requires an Italian phone number) before midnight, you are covered for the day. An app also exists but it did not work by the time we were in Palermo.
For the parking : We never found the free parking spots in the area and decided to leave our car in a private parking which costs 15€/day
