Dominated by the Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals and Byzantines, Palermo preserves the secrets of ancient recipes passed down from generation to generation. Already in ancient times, vegetables and boiled entrails were sold on the street. Even today the street food is able to conquer local residents and tourists. You will reach the historic centre of Palermo (transfer not provided), where you will start your walking tour through the flavours and aromas of Palermo historic markets. The Vucciria market, whose name comes from the local dialect and means “confusion”, will be one the main stops of this tour. You will explore the local markets, to find the best products through the different stalls. You will smell unique fragrances in the world, of spices and herbs, and you will lose yourself in a labyrinth of flavours. Among the most famous street food products, you will find “pane con la milza”, “sfincione”, “panelle”, arancini and croquettes. You will visit some ancient places unknown to mass tourism.
