Italians associate Palermo with savory, delicious street food. Feast your eyes, then your palate on this taste tour through 1000 years of Sicilian food traditions, culled from the many cultures that crossed its shores. Visit historic bottegas and markets where you’ll sample traditional street foods such as arancine (deep-fried stuffed rice balls), granita (semi-frozen sorbet-like dessert) and ice cream sandwiches, along with a glass of local sweet wine. Vucciria and Capo are not so much open-air markets as lively souks, brimming with Palermitano life. Along the way, your guide will show you Palermo’s main historical squares, with stops at special locations that help define this delightful city.
