The Palermo airport is Falcone-Borsellino Airport, also called Punta Raisi Airport. It was opened in 1960 and it is one of the most important on the island of Sicily, next to that of Catania.

Most Italian airports (*) have a fixed fare for rides between the city center and the airport (and vice versa). In Palermo, the ride to the city’s Central Station costs between 35.00 and EUR 45.00.

Not much, as it was possible to observe that trains and buses are more affordable, however, if you are with children or people with mobility problems, it is an option to be considered.

Note (*)

A little about Palermo

Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is located on the northern Italian coast and is also very popular for those who want, in addition to history, blue sea, beautiful beaches and extraordinary landscapes. Palermo’s multi-ethnic past is visible in its majestic Cathedral! It is one of the most beautiful in Italy and combines influences from different types of architecture, with an 18th century dome and a medieval bell tower preserved in a very loving way.

Its Cathedral

The current construction was made on top of a pre-existing basilica that was transformed into a mosque by the Arabs and later handed over to the Normans by the Christian religion. The cathedral is adorned with Gothic decorations and houses the relics of Saint Rosalia, who is the city’s patron saint. There are also the tombs of some emperors like Roger II and Frederick II.

Piazza della Pretoria & Piazza San Domenico

Another very important point in the city is Piazza della Pretoria (Pretoria Square), which overlooks the impressive Palazzo del Municipio (Town Hall), built in the 17th century. In the square, there is a splendid fountain from the 16th century that is formed by 644 groups of marble. It is in this region of the city that the streets with Italian, Arab and Hebrew names are located. Be sure to visit Vuccirìa, which is an incredible market, being the oldest in the city. The market is in another beautiful square, Piazza San Domenico (“Saint Dominic Square”), which is also home to the church of the same name, considered one of the most beautiful Baroque works in Sicily.
