Discover the Norman Arab itinerary

This visit is perfect for those who want to delve into the fascinating history of the Normans and their arrival in a Muslim Sicily.

Our visit takes place inside one of the main monuments of the Norman Arab style of Sicily, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO: the spectacular Palatine Chapel, located inside the Palace of the Normans: the mosaics made with 24 gold carats will leave you speechless. We will continue visiting the Royal Apartments, to finish in the Royal Garden. On days when the Royal Apartments are closed, they will be replaced by a visit to the Cathedral

Entrance fees to the monuments are not included.

Important! This is not the classic free tour: you will enjoy a visit with an official guide, a careful itinerary and with small groups, so its recommended price is €10 per person. If you're still hesitating, check out the reviews!

A minimum of 8 paying participants is necessary for the tour to depart (children under 12 years old are free)

Ciao a tutti! My name is Marta and I am an authorized local guide. I have a degree in Art History and a big passion for Archeology. Working as a tour guide, I travelled for many years around Italy, and I lived in Rome and Florence too, but more than a decade ago I set foot on this spectacular island and was love at first sight! In this tour you'll know the most important places of Palermo, but also the real city and its people. I hope I can show you Palermo, I am sure you will love it!
