I personally believe that Palermo is one of the most magical
places on earth. Mostly because of the astonishing architecture that reflects
perfectly the turbulent history of the whole Sicily. It is placed on the edge of the island, so of course an access to the sea is quite easy. It is also surrounded by
the mountains, almost from every place in the city it is possibile to
see them. So from one side there is that beautiful Mediterranean Sea, and from the other - mountains. A
scenery that might be typical for an island, but it's very certainly uncommom
for me. Here's a short list of the must-see places in Palermo:
1) The cathedral of Palermo
2) Palace of the Normans
3) The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo
7) The cathedral of Monreale (about 8km from Palermo)
8) Mondello beach
9) Monte Pellegrino
From which we have an incredible view on Palermo.
