Shopping in Palermo is a true delight: a city where you will find a little bit of everything, from boutiques of high fashion to colourful markets selling fresh fruits, vegetables, fish as well as clothes and crafts. At the street markets, you will find great bargains and experience the unique Palermitan atmosphere. The largest historical markets are La Vucciria, Capo and Ballarò. If you are looking for famous Italian fashion brands instead, head over to Via Libertà, a street lined with both Italian and European high fashion labels.

When in Palermo, bring a typical, hand-craft souvenir back home that can remind you of your trip: painted pottery, coral jewellery, copper-ware or food delicatessen.
