Spice It Up

Palermo’s outdoor markets should be on your itinerary when visiting this historic city. Among the three centers of exotic scents, cacophonous sounds, and vibrant colors: Il Capo, Ballarò, and Vucciria, you’ll find what you are looking for and a few things you didn’t know you needed… Like the spices pictured.

Each market has its own style and culture, which our expert, local guide will explain during our walking tour on Day 8 of our May 2018 Myths & Mysteries of Sicily tour and also on Day 9 of our June 2018 Ancient Italy: A Cultural Journey Through Campania and Sicily tour.

Reserve your spot on any of our 2018 journeys by Nov. 1, and you could save up to $400/person! Learn more at ExperienceSicily.com.
