Guida di viaggio
Tutto quello che vale la pena sapere prima di partire.
Palermo is Sicily's capital and the largest city in the south of Italy with an established LGBTQ+ scene. The city's character — Arab-Norman architecture, intense Baroque churches, street markets and extraordinary food culture — creates a backdrop unlike anywhere in northern Italy.
