Teatro Massimo Who would have thought that a theatre would be one of the largest structures in Palermo? The Teatro Massimo towers over the relatively small bui- ldings surrounding the Piaz- za Giuseppe Verdi. Opened in 1897, it is the largest Opera House in Italy and is famed for its acoustic qualities. For film buffs, this theatre was also the shoot location for the final sce - nes of The Godfather Part III! Mondello Beach Just 15 minutes to the north of Palermo lies the buzzing town of Mondello. Here you wi- ll find a sublime beach that is a great place to relax and enjoy the cool Mediterranean wa- ters. At the centre of the bea- ch is an immense pier and bu- ilding containing a restaurant and bar.

Here you will travel undergrou- nd and see a macabre variety of burials and well-preserved bodies from various periods of history. The Capuchin Monks would preserve the bodies and keep them in their original gar- ments, while they would also use embalming techniques, so you can see this bizarre burial ground containing over 8,000 bodies. Food Markets Food markets are a fantastic way to sample local life and expose the heart of a city. Pa- lermo’s main food markets inc- lude Ballaro, Cap and Vucciria, all of which are located in the city centre. Prepare to have yo- ur senses assaulted with the variety of scents and the din of traders selling their wares.
