The palazzo is located in the Kalsa quarter, once the Emirs' citadel, in the heart of the historical district of Palermo. From there you can easily walk to the main museums, such as the art gallery of Palazzo Abatellis, Palazzo Mirto, the Puppet Museum, the Archaeological Museum, or to the fascinating Botanical Gardens, among the oldest in Europe, admired by Goethe. Don't forget to visit the many celebrated Baroque and Norman churches, the Oratories with stucco work by Serpotta, the splendid Cathedral with the Norman and Swabian imperial tombs, and the Royal Palace with the breathtaking mosaics of the Palatine Chapel. Just outside Palermo, the spectacular Duomo and Cloister of Monreale are not to be missed, and so is Villa Palagonia in Bagheria. From the apartment you can walk to the beautiful 19th century opera house Teatro Massimo, to the colourful market-places or to the elegant shopping areas of via Ruggero Settimo and via Libertà . The beach of Mondello is only a 20 minutes ride.
