Essentials

City
Palermo (Sicilian: Palermu), capital of the autonomous region of Sicily, on the gulf facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. 1
Population
ISTAT counted 626,273 residents on 31 December 2025 (628,693 on 1 January 2025). Wikipedia gives the same 2026 comune figure and puts the metropolitan city at about 1.2 million. 11 1
Internet Speed
Ookla Italy medians for September 2026 are 135.91 Mbps mobile and 285.86 Mbps fixed on the main index, and 87.07 Mbps mobile and 113.07 Mbps fixed on the second pair. There is no Palermo-only figure. PMO Coworking advertises fibre, without a speed. 9 7
Currency & Banking
Euro. The ECB reference rate on 19 October 2026 was 1 EUR = 1.1225 USD, about 0.8909 EUR per USD. 12
Tap Water
Wikivoyage says tap water in Italy is safe, including the south, where desalination can affect the taste, and that fountains marked non potabile should not be used. Restaurants expect you to order bottled water. 3
Power
230 V, 50 Hz, with Europlug, Schuko and Italian Type L sockets. 3
SIM Card
iliad prepaid, with a passport; the shop can also generate a codice fiscale. GIGA 150 is €7.99 a month (150 GB), TOP 230 is €9.99 (230 GB), GIGA 250 is €11.99 (250 GB), and a new SIM costs €9.99 to activate. TIM, Vodafone and Wind Tre also sell prepaid SIMs. 4 3
Banking for Expats
Italian banks and mobile shops usually want a codice fiscale. A shop can generate one from a passport if you do not already have it. 3
Accommodation
Immobiliare.it asking rents in September 2026 averaged €9.70 per m² a month in the comune (Centro Storico €11.45, Bonagia and Falsomiele €5.33). Sale asking prices averaged €1,592 per m². 8
Cashless Friendly
Cards are widely used. Most restaurants add a coperto and do not expect a tip; small bars still take cash. Display prices include IVA. 3
Short Term Rentals
A Casa di Amici, Via Dante 57, has dorms and private rooms near the Politeama. Monthly asking rents are on Immobiliare.it (September 2026 average €9.70/m²). 16 8

The Quattro Canti and the Centro Storico, within a walk of the cathedral, the Martorana and the Vucciria. Wikivoyage also points visitors to the blocks around Piazza Verdi and Piazza Ruggero Settimo (Politeama). 2
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
Politeama and Via Principe di Belmonte, for PMO Coworking at number 93 and Antico Caffè Spinnato. Immobiliare’s September 2026 asking rent there (Libertà, Politeama and the streets around them) was €10.23 per m² a month. 7 2 8

Best Cafe for Work
Antico Caffè Spinnato, Via Principe di Belmonte 107/115, on the same pedestrian street as PMO Coworking. Wikivoyage updated the listing in May 2022 and does not mention Wi-Fi. 2

Transportation

Best Taxi/Ride App
The city tourism page lists Radio Taxi Trinacria on 091 6878 and Autoradio Taxi on 091 8481. The 30 April 2026 tariff card sets an urban minimum of €5.03, a first click of €3.35 then €0.16, and a radiotaxi call of €0.83; it prints €12.57 beside the airport run. Free Now dispatches here (cancellation €4.50) and Uber published a Palermo central-zone table on 6 October 2026. 18 19 20 21
Bike/Scooter Rental
Shared e-scooters in service are Bird, Dott and Lime, the three operators that won the city tender. PalermoToday reported on 11 May 2026 that RideMovi had been cleared off the street and that abandoned Link scooters were still being removed. No per-minute price was on that page. 17 2
Best Beach Nearby
Mondello. AMAT summer lines 86 and 87 (Mondello) and 88 (Sferracavallo) run every day from 16 May to 30 September 2026. Residents ride free; other passengers pay €0.50, in the MyAMAT or Palermobilità app. 29 1
Top Regional Airline
For summer 2026 (March to October) Gesap lists ITA Airways to Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino, Volotea to Florence, Naples, Olbia and Verona, and Ryanair on most other domestic routes. ITA, Volotea, Ryanair, Wizz Air and Aeroitalia are the five bases. 10

Highway Access
ANAS lists the A19 Palermo–Catania (191.6 km) and the A29 Palermo–Mazara del Vallo (114.8 km), with the A29 dir to Trapani and a 4 km spur to Punta Raisi. The airport says the drive is about 35 km: A29 toward Trapani, exit Puntaraisi–Aeroporto Falcone Borsellino. These motorways are toll-free. 14 15
Main Train/Transit Hub
Palermo Centrale, Piazza Giulio Cesare. Trenitalia runs to other Sicilian cities and, through Messina, to the mainland, and also to Punta Raisi station under the airport. 2 1
Public Transport Passes
AMAT: a 90-minute ticket is €1.40 (€1.80 if bought from the driver), a day ticket is €3.50, and a 7-day ticket is €16.50. The ordinary personal pass for the whole network is €32 for 30 days (ID and a photo); the bearer pass is €42. The page was last updated on 29 September 2026. 5 6
Regional Travel
From Palermo Centrale, Trenitalia reaches Catania, Agrigento, Trapani, Cefalù, Messina and, via the strait, the mainland. Wikivoyage lists about 3 hours to Catania, 2 hours to Agrigento and about 4 hours 30 minutes to Syracuse. AST coaches link Palermo with other Sicilian cities. 2 1

Food and Drink

Best Food Delivery App
Glovo delivers restaurant food in Palermo, and the city page also lists groceries and pharmacies. 24
Best Local Dish to Try
Street food is pane con la milza and panelle. Wikivoyage names Pani câ Meusa at Via Cala 62 and arancine at Stuzzicandoci, Via Vittorio Emanuele 251 (listing updated May 2022). 2

Affordable Shopping Spots
Mercato di Ballarò, Via Ballarò, in Albergheria: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday 07:00–20:00, Wednesday 07:00–13:00. Wikipedia also names the Capo and Vucciria markets. 2 1

Bar/Nightlife Area
Via Chiavettieri, by the Cala, and Piazza Garraffello beside the Vucciria, where Wikivoyage notes an outdoor DJ on Friday nights when the weather is good. 2
Wine Bars
Enoteca Picone, Via Marconi 36, is the wine shop named on the Wikivoyage drink list. 2
Street Food Stalls
Stands in the old centre sell pane con la milza and panelle. Pani câ Meusa at Porta Carbone is Via Cala 62. The Vucciria is the night market square. 2 1
Popular International Cuisine
Bangla Fast Food, Via Maqueda 142, serves Indian and Bangladeshi food, including a vegetarian curry. The Wikivoyage note of about €4 for that plate dates from May 2022. 2

Culture and Attractions

Must-See Landmarks
Palermo Cathedral, on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and the Cappella Palatina inside the Palazzo dei Normanni at Piazza Indipendenza. Both are part of the UNESCO Arab-Norman listing. 2 25
Museums & Art Venues
Wikivoyage lists the Museo Archeologico without hours or a ticket. The Orto Botanico, Via Lincoln 2, opens at 09:00 and charges €6 on that listing. 2
Historical Sites
Catacombe dei Cappuccini, Piazza Cappuccini, just west of the centre: the Capuchin catacombs, no photography. Wikivoyage last marked the €3 ticket in February 2023, so that price is not repeated here. 2
Religious Sites
Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio (La Martorana), by the Quattro Canti, with Byzantine mosaics. It is one of the nine UNESCO Arab-Norman monuments, with San Cataldo and San Giovanni degli Eremiti. 2 25
Annual Events
Festino di Santa Rosalia. The city marked the 402nd Festino on Tuesday 14 July 2026: the procession left at 21:20 along the Cassaro and ended at the Foro Italico. 30 1
Cultural Districts
The historic centre is split at the Quattro Canti into the four mandamenti. Wikipedia’s first circoscrizione is Kalsa, Albergheria, Seralcadio and La Loggia, which hold the Ballarò, Capo and Vucciria markets. 1 2
Theater Venues
Teatro Massimo, Piazza Verdi, 90138. The site shows an opera and concert season through 2027, including Rigoletto from 23 to 31 October 2026. Wikipedia calls it the largest theatre in Italy. 26 1
Local Markets
The three central food markets are Ballarò (Albergheria), the Capo and the Vucciria. Ballarò’s listed hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday 07:00–20:00, Wednesday 07:00–13:00. 1 2
Music Scene
Teatro Massimo programmes Orchestra Jazz Siciliana – The Brass Group alongside the opera season. The same site lists symphony concerts through 2027. 26
Historic Buildings
Palazzo dei Normanni, Piazza del Parlamento 1, seat of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, with the Cappella Palatina inside. It is the Royal Palace on the UNESCO Arab-Norman list, with the Zisa Palace and the Admiral’s Bridge. 2 25
Local Heritage
The UNESCO site Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale (inscribed 2015) is nine monuments. In Palermo they are the Royal Palace and Palatine Chapel, the Zisa, the Cathedral, San Giovanni degli Eremiti, Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio, San Cataldo and the Admiral’s Bridge. The patron saint is Santa Rosalia. 25 1

Nature and Outdoor Activities

Nearby Nature Escapes
Riserva Naturale Orientata Capo Gallo, between Sferracavallo and Mondello, about 12 km from Teatro Massimo. The same page says the comune also contains the Monte Pellegrino reserve and the Capo Gallo–Isola delle Femmine marine protected area. 28
National Parks Nearby
No national park meets the city. Parco delle Madonie is the regional park on the massif between the Imera and the Pollina, covering 15 municipalities in the Metropolitan City of Palermo. The park office is Corso Paolo Agliata 16, Petralia Sottana. 27 28
Cycling/Walking Paths
The Foro Italico is the seafront where the Festino procession ends. AMAT line 86 runs the Mondello lungomare (Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo) in summer. Wikivoyage says most of the historic centre is walkable. 30 29 2
Scenic Viewpoints
Monte Pellegrino looks over the city and the gulf; Wikipedia quotes Goethe calling the cliff the most beautiful promontory in the world. Monte Gallo, above Mondello, is the other headland. 1
Birdwatching Locations
Capo Gallo reserve is a stop for migratory birds and lists many bird species, between Sferracavallo and Mondello, about 12 km from the centre. 28

Business

Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
Immobiliare.it asking prices in September 2026, not split by bedrooms: about €2,006 per m² in the Centro Storico, so a 40 m² flat is about €80,240. 8
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
The same September 2026 asking series puts Ciaculli and Belmonte Chiavelli, still inside the comune, at about €935 per m², the lowest zone on the page, so a 40 m² flat is about €37,400. 8
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
About €2,006 per m² in the Centro Storico on Immobiliare.it in September 2026 (asking prices, all homes). A 60 m² flat is about €120,360. 8
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
About €935 per m² in Ciaculli and Belmonte Chiavelli in September 2026. A 60 m² flat is about €56,100. 8
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
About €2,006 per m² in the Centro Storico in September 2026. An 80 m² flat is about €160,480. 8
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
About €935 per m² in Ciaculli and Belmonte Chiavelli in September 2026. An 80 m² flat is about €74,800. 8
Corporate Tax
IRES is 24% and IRAP is 3.9%. Regions can move the IRAP rate slightly. PwC notes a cut of IRES from 24% to 20% for FY 2025 only, for companies that reinvest profits. 35
Dividend Withholding Tax
26% on dividends paid to resident individuals. The same domestic rate applies to non-treaty non-residents, before any treaty reduction. 37
Tax System
Tax residents are taxed on worldwide income. Residence is more than 183 days in the tax year, counting fractions of days, or a habitual home or the centre of personal and family life in Italy. Non-residents are taxed only on Italian-source income. 33 34
Highest Income Tax Bracket
43% national IRPEF on income above €50,000. For 2026 the band from €28,000 to €50,000 is 33%, and income up to €28,000 is 23%. Regional tax is generally 1.23% to 3.33% and the municipal surcharge is 0% to 0.9%. 33 32
VAT
Standard IVA is 22%. Reduced rates on listed supplies include 10% and 4%. 36
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Yes. Income of a controlled foreign company is taxed in Italy when the effective-tax test fails. From FY 2024 an audited subsidiary can be tested against a 15% effective rate; otherwise the test is taxation below 50% of the Italian IRES that would have applied. 38
Property Tax
IMU is not due on a principal home except luxury cadastral categories A/1, A/8 and A/9. Other homes are taxed. PwC lists a basic rate of 0.86% on other property, which the comune can change, plus TARI for waste. 39 36
Property Transaction Tax
From a private seller, or a company selling VAT-exempt, registration tax is 9% (minimum €1,000), plus €50 mortgage tax and €50 cadastral tax. Prima casa relief cuts registration tax to 2%, or VAT to 4% when the developer charges VAT. VAT is 10% on a normal new home and 22% for A/1, A/8 and A/9. 40 41
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
From the 2024 tax year the impatriate regime taxes only 50% of Italian employment and professional income, up to €600,000 a year, if you keep tax residence for at least four years and were not resident in the previous three. With a minor child the taxed share falls to 40%. Palermo is far larger than 20,000 people, so the 7% flat tax on foreign pensions in small southern towns does not apply. 42 33
