Beach near Palermo, Italy

Palermo Travel Guide

Italy

Palermo is a large Italian city of 849,687 people and the capital of Sicily, on the island’s north coast. It uses Central European Time, with seasonal daylight-saving changes, and has a Mediterranean climate with hot, generally dry summers and milder, wetter winters.

Most visitors arriving by air use Palermo-Punta Raisi Airport (PMO). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so Palermo is better treated as an urban and cultural base than a beach destination close to the centre.
