Palermo hop-on hop-off bus tickets

4.2/5
10 reviews

Embark on an open-top, hop-on hop-off bus tour to explore Palermo, the capital of Sicily.

Starting from the Politeama Theatre, you'll pass the Massimo Theatre and head towards Piazza Quattro Canti and the bustling Vucciria Market. The bus tour then takes you to the botanical gardens and Palazzo Steri. After a brief stop at the central station, you'll get to admire the Royal Palace, the Flea Market and the Cathedral before returning via the ancient Via Roma.

The second leg of your hop-on hop-off bus tour showcases Palermo's beautiful villas. From the Politeama Theatre, you'll be taken through the exquisite English Garden, Villa Malfitano and the magnificent Zisa Castle. The tour continues towards Mercato del Capo, the Massimo Theatre and the port, before ending at the terminal in Politeama Square.

If you prefer a beachside experience, there's an option to visit the beaches, including Mondello (operates seasonally). With each adult ticket purchased for this option, a sunbed is included to fully enjoy the sea. The bathing establishment also offers a beach umbrella for every two sunbeds, providing you with everything you need for a relaxing day at the beach.

    It was very informative and the stops easy to find. I particularly liked the fact that the tours are split into two distinct lines, making it more enjoyable and educational.
