Preparing your trip to Palermo: advices & hints - things to do and to obey
1. The best and most convenient way to cruise the city is underground as its route runs though all significant landmarks and sights of the resort. Other city transports available in Palermo are buses and trams which feature a single type of tickets. The historical center of the city is better to be explored on foot as in this case tourists will get a chance to fully enjoy and embrace the beauty of local landmarks and attractions.
2. Taxi is one of the most in demand city transports even though charged rates are rather high. A cost of a trip should be negotiated in advance. An average cost of a trip up to 10km will be about 10USD.
3. Tourists should necessarily keep to the traditional rules of etiquette. Entering a public place one should necessarily greet everybody and leaving the place one should say good bye. Tourists may address local people for help, however any assistance needs to be rewarded.
4. Utility supplied voltage is 220V. Most of the hotels and inns are equipped with European standard sockets. Before a journey one should check all the appliances for compatibility and get necessary adapters and connectors.
6. Street call boxes offer the optimum rates for inter city and international calls. The boxes are set in all the main streets of the city as well as in close vicinity to public and entertaining establishments. For international calls one should choose a call box with a “TELESELEZIONE” sign. Such call boxes accept only special plastic cards or coins sold in all news stalls and tobacco shops.
