The neighbourhood
At about 350 meters (Piazza Magione) and 450 meters (Piazza Rivoluzione) you can enjoy the MOVIDA Palermitana with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, some of them unique in their kind, open until early morning.
Within 5 minutes you can also walk / jog along the MARINA, BY THE SEA.
Few steps away from the apartment, you are in Via Vittorio Emanuele, The latter will take you directly to the Quattro Canti, Piazza Pretoria (also known as Piazza della Vergogna), the Church of San Giovanni Degli Eremiti, the Cathedral, the Royal Palace with its beautiful Palatine Chapel.
For all antiques lovers visiting Palermo, every Sunday morning, I recommend not to miss the legendary market in Piazza Marina located between the sea and the old city, within the ancient Kalsa district, just few minutes away.
Its stalls are arranged in such a way as to form a circle that literally embraces the nineteenth-century Villa Garibaldi, with trinkets and real period pieces, unique in their kind.
City Center living & natural lighting
Please note, most of accommodations located in the city centre can experience some low/moderate noise level, from vehicular/commercial activities during the day from 10am up until 10.30pm together with lack of natural light, amplified by the fact of the narrower streets. For more info please contact your host. It is fair to say that those characteristics are very common when leaving in the city centre ( Old town )
Moving around
The main Palermo Central Station is approx 800 meters away.
Conveniently, within Central Station there is a bus terminal to / from the airport, departing every 30 minutes, it will take about 50 minutes of travelling , or if you prefer you can take a train with about 55 minutes journey directly to the airport.
From Central Station you can easily travel to all directions within mainland Sicily.
Pets
