The more modern, elegant side around Via Libertà. Often named the calmest choice for families and couples.
Old quarter near the port, with palaces, galleries and restaurants. Picturesque, though some blocks remain rough: better to stay on the edges than in the middle.
The heart of the evening scene, with pubs, wine bars and restaurants near the old port of La Cala. Not for light sleepers.
Authentic neighbourhood around the Ballarò market, among the cheapest areas of the centre. Busy.
Palermo's beach, outside the old town. Ideal for sea and relaxing; you need a bus or taxi to see the city.
