Palermo
Arab-Norman architecture, three street markets, and a cruise port to match.
Palermo’s Arab-Norman route carries UNESCO listing across a set of buildings that exist nowhere else in Europe — the Palatine Chapel above all. The historic markets at Ballarò and Vucciria are the other half of the city, and Mondello beach is fifteen minutes away.
