Tour & Travel Packages to Palermo

However, this cosmopolitan city has suffered a lot from a bad reputation. Have you heard about the notorious Cosa Nostra, or Sicilian mafia? This criminal organization, associated with the modern history of Sicily, had its headquarters in Palermo. Several years ago the main mafia bosses were arrested. Nowadays, visitors don’t need to worry about crime - Palermo is safer than it has been in ages. Cosa Nostra has become just a part of local folklore. You can buy t-shirts and mugs with various funny mafia pictures that remind visitors of the old times. Palermo is noted for its rich history, culture, architecture and gastronomy. If you want to visit all the historical buildings and churches, you need to have several free days! Even Vucciria, a highly picturesque city market, will take several hours of your time!
