Palermo bike tour in small group with granita

Explore the city of Palermo by bike and enjoy everything it has to offer. Your guide will help you choose the best itinerary to discover all eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites while also seeing some hidden gems.

Taking a bike tour of Palermo means you get to see much more than you would walking, and you can even get off the ordinary tourist track if you wish. You’ll get to plan your itinerary with your local guide, picking out the best and most essential Palermo attractions. The city has a long and fascinating history, with nods to that in its architecture, which has Arabic, Norman and Byzantine influence.

There are many attractions in Palermo but the Duomo is arguably the most symbolic. This cathedral is one of the oldest churches in the world, while you’ll also get to see the Martorana Church which was named one of the world’s most beautiful monuments by an Arabic traveller in the 12th century. You will also admire from outside Europe’s oldest residence: The Palazzo dei Normanni. Now home to the Regional Parliament of Sicily, it dates back to the 11th century and houses the stunning Palatine Chapel, which is adorned with golden mosaics.

While a bike ride is a lot of fun, you can get hot and tired. Thankfully, we have the perfect delicious treat to get you feeling refreshed. A Sicilian granita is like a regular granita, only better. Made with sugar and water before the flavours are added, the Sicilian thirst quencher is much rougher than any you’ll try on the mainland, but not less tasty!
