It's worth making Palermo your first stop in Sicily. Quite apart from the Arab influence in its finest churches, there's more than a hint of the city's eastern past in its undisciplined centre, a sprawling, almost anarchic mass with no real focus: great pockets of medieval alleys, nineteenth-century piazzas, twentieth-century bombsites and contemporary office blocks all conspire to confuse what is essentially a straightforward street grid. It offers a wide choice for those who want to organize a vacation here and can satisfy all sorts of needs. Here you will find business and tourist hotel with modern facilities, amenities, restaurant serving Sicilian cuisine, multilingual staff.

Palermo, the cradle of ancient civilizations has always been a crossroads of cultures between East and West. A landing-place for people of various race has always enchanted visitors and foreigners alike with the charm of its location, the mildness of its climate, and the splendour of its buildings.
