Palermo
italy
May 27 - June 24, 2022
We'll definitely feel like we're in Italy with the piazzas, pizzas, and ancient churches and fountains, but there's something else in the air here. Ancient Greek and Roman architecture mixes with traditional Arab, Spanish, and Italian markets that Sicily feels like a mini tour of the world. Let's dig into every traditional dish, bask in the Mediterranean Sea and sun, and discover this city's ancient history as a Tribe.
Experience Palermo with the Tribe
Take on Sicily with the Tribe and discover a new side to Italy. Open your mind to the cocreated community experiences, adventures, and classic WiFi Tribe moments that'll make our time here one of a kind.
We'll eat and stroll out way through in our new home
Let's take weekly strolls through Mercato del Capo, Ballarò, or Borgo Vecchio for street food treats and fresh produce. As if we need an excuse to taste everything in sight, we'll need to refuel after seeing every famous spot anyways. Places like Palazzo die Normanni, Quattro Canti, and Fontana Pretoria are all a must. When the sea air beckons, we'll watch the sunsets and sailboats at the ports in town or take a 30 min ride to Mondello Beach to beat the heat.
Buckle up for a coastal roadtrip
The quintessential Mediterranean beaches lie outside of Palermo, but a car ride away. Celafu is about 1 hour away and the beaches in San Vito Lo Capo are legendary with Mount Monaco towering above are just 2 hours away.
We can't leave without seeing Monreale
As the Sicilian proverb says, "whoever visits Palermo without visiting Monreale arrives a donkey and leaves an ass." Luckily the cathedral in Monreale is a must-see with over 6,000 gold mosaics and intricate tile designs.
Step back in time in Agrigento and Erice
Take a break from beach days and travel way back in time while in Agrigento and Erice. Ancient Greek ruins and old fortress towns overlook the Mediterranean in these small towns off the coastal path.
