Enjoy your day in Palermo and explore it in the easiest and most economical way on top of a City Sightseeing Bus! You might choose to stay on the bus for the full route or hop off and back on at the stops you want to explore. Lower cost than a taxi to get around the city!

At the crossroads of civilizations, Palermo delivers a heavily spiced mix of Byzantine mosaics, Arabesque domes, and frescoed cupolas. This is a city at the edge of Europe and at the center of the ancient world, a place where souk-like markets rub against baroque churches, where date palms frame Gothic palaces. Just don't be fooled. Despite its noisy streets, Sicily's largest city is a tranquil stop, rewarding the inquisitive with citrus-filled cloisters, stucco-laced chapels, and vintage stores filled with the threads of faded aristocrats. Add to this Italy's biggest opera house and an ever-growing number of vibrant, new-school eateries and bars and you might just find yourself suddenly, unexpectedly in love.

Once you depart your Palermo cruise terminal you will look for any stop for the brightly colored City Sightseeing Palermo bus. A friendly service hostess will greet you upon your arrival and will gladly answer any questions that you might have about the tour, the stops, or the city.
While on board you will hear the commentary in eight languages (on the free app) that will provide detailed information about the history and culture while entertaining you with interesting anecdotes and secrets of the city. In Palermo, bus service is divided into two routes, one delivers the historic city center while the other presents the aristocratic jewels.
As always, you have the freedom of movement to explore the city as you choose. There are 2 routes with 15+ stops providing a variety of things and attractions to explore. Hop on and off as many times as you want, or simply stay onboard for the full circuit and enjoy the city from this unique vantage point. At the end of your excursion, you can exit the bus at a stop close to your Palermo cruise port or at any of the stops to return to your ship at leisure.

Please note that admission or entrance fees to the attractions/museums, etc are not included.
