About This Tour
Step into the soul of Palermo on this immersive street food adventure through the historic Albergheria district. Wander through the lively Ballarò Market with your local guide, where centuries-old traditions meet bold Sicilian flavors and sizzling street food. Along the way, taste your way through a delicious line-up of Palermo's street food royalty: crispy arancine, smoky stigghiola, and soft sfincione pizza. Visit a hidden monastery-turned-bakery for divine pastries crafted from age-old recipes, sample sun-drenched tomatoes and “cheese on horseback,” and sip espresso from one of Italy’s top independent roasters. With each stop, you'll uncover stories of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring pride of Palermo’s food-loving locals.
