The food in Palermo was an absolute highlight of the trip. The tiramisu was incredibly delicious—light, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. But the Arancini dish stole the show; I couldn’t get enough of those crispy, golden rice balls filled with savory goodness. They were so addictive! What made the experience even better was the atmosphere. The celebrations happening around the city created a festive vibe that paired wonderfully with the incredible food. But the best part? Definitely the beach. Relaxing by the water after indulging in all the amazing local dishes was pure bliss. I was also pleasantly surprised by how different the people of Palermo are compared to those in Rome. Everyone in Palermo was incredibly hospitable and kind, even with the language barrier, which was a challenge I faced in Rome. In Palermo, people were eager to help, even if they didn’t understand a word I said. The city felt so cozy and welcoming—it’s a place I’d return to in a heartbeat.
