💡 Host’s Tips for a Great Meal:
Don’t miss the street food: Be sure to try arancine and pane e panelle at the local markets for the most authentic experience.
Eating hours: In Palermo, we love to eat “the Sicilian way!” Lunch usually starts around 12:30 PM, and dinner often lasts until 10:30 PM or later.
For a touch of elegance: If you are looking for a slightly more refined yet traditional experience, Osteria Mercede in the historic center is an excellent choice
Essential Apps to Download:
Moovit: Perfect for checking real-time bus and urban train schedules (very useful for the nearby Lolli Station).
Google Maps: Your best friend for navigating the charming alleys of the historic center.
EasyPark: Use this to pay for blue-zone street parking nearby without looking for a coin machine.
Free Now: The most reliable app to call a taxi directly to Via Lascaris.
Water & Sustainability: Tap water in Palermo is safe. You will find several small grocery stores (alimentari) on the same street or around the corner for your supplies.
Dining Like a Local: You are in a very authentic area! For a true Palermitan experience, try the nearby trattorias or head to the Capo Market (10-min walk) for the best street food. Remember: locals eat dinner late, usually after 8:00 PM.
Exploring on Foot: You are in a strategic spot! The Zisa Castle is just a few steps away, and the Cathedral is within a 10-12 minute walk. Wear comfortable shoes: the basolato (historic stone paving) is beautiful but can be slippery.
ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone): Great Advantage! Emanuela Home is located outside the ZTL (restricted traffic zone). You can reach the property by car at any time without a permit. Just be careful not to drive into the historic center (past the Cathedral) where cameras are active.
Reservations: If you plan to eat at popular nearby spots like Casamichele or Da Michele & Jolanda, we highly recommend booking a table at least a day in advance.
Safety: The neighborhood is lively and welcoming.
