Car Hire Reviews Palermo Airport

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”

Where to go

Palermo Airport car hire means you can take in the historic cities, sandy beaches and lush countryside that Sicily has to offer. The size of the island means many places can be reached within a few hours' drive, making it easy to explore.

Nearby Palermo Airport

The capital Palermo is a short drive away, and the city of Trapani, complete with its harbour and 17th-century watchtower, can be reached in around an hour by car.

Longer drives

Head across the island to Catania, an ancient port city on the east coast that lies approximately 240 km from Palermo Airport. If you want to enjoy a day on the beach consider driving to Cefalu, around 110 km away, a picturesque coastal town with highly-regarded beaches. For a longer trip, consider taking a ferry to mainland Italy

Eating and drinking

Sicilian food draws influences from a wide range of different cuisines, such as French, Arabic and North African. A lot of restaurants source their ingredients locally and one dish typical to restaurants around Palermo is pasta cooked with sardines.

Things to do

If you want to combine eating with exploring consider taking a street food tour, where you can see the sights of Palermo and also sample some of the on-the-go cuisine the city has to offer. If you're keen to do some shopping head to Mercato di Ballaro, the city's busiest street market selling all manner of foods and other goods.

Sightseeing

Palermo's Cappella Palatina is a chapel that dates back to 1130 and has a beautiful interior filled with precious stones. Piazza Pretoria is flanked by churches and other buildings and dominated by Fontana Pretoria, a fountain that is one of the city's major landmarks.
