Chiaramonte-Steri Palace (Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri) Tours and Tickets

Palermo's cathedral started as a church, became an Arab mosque, then returned to a cathedral — and a Quranic verse carved into one of its columns survived the Inquisition untouched. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you along the Cassaro, one of Europe's oldest streets, from the Teatro Massimo opera house to the sea. You'll hear how a Caravaggio was stolen by the Mafia and possibly eaten by pigs, taste street food with thousand-year-old Arab roots, and stand inside a chapel where three civilisations built a single ceiling together. Start whenever suits you, pause for markets and sfincione, resume when you're ready — no group, no schedule. Works offline. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means no risk. If you want a Palermo walking tour that lets you go at your own pace and actually understand what you're looking at, this is it.

A tour of the mysteries and ghosts of Palermo takes you to discover the darkest and most legendary side of the city. It often starts from the ancient heart of Palermo, among the narrow streets and silent squares, where the shadows of the past still seem present

Go beyond the A-list sights in Palermo and explore the authentic side of the city most visitors miss with this unique walking tour led by a “Palermitano” local through the historic Kalsa district. Take in medieval churches and palaces, vibrant squares, and ornate fountains while learning about the history of this quarter that spent centuries under Arab control and still shows signs of that cultural influence in the architecture and cuisine.
