The best outdoor activities in Palermo

Situated in a beautiful gulf surrounded by mountains, Palermo was once a Phoenician rich trading centre in the Mediterranean sea. The splendour from the ancient times and the influences from different domination permeate the rumbling streets of the city, where the scent of the sea blurs with the aroma of amazing culinary specialities.

Beach lovers, you'll not be disappointed as the northern coastline is populated by harmonious and breathtaking beaches as Mandello, Addaura, Arenella, Punta Raisi, Cefalù and more. Sand, rock and reef: plenty of choice for any taste!

The Sicilian capital offers activities all year round. Not only water activities as skydiving and freediving, but also thanks to the mountain chain around the city it is possible to trek and ride mountain bikes following ancient and forgotten paths. Reach the top of Monte Pellegrino to enjoy a great view over the city and the bay!

If your limit is the sky experience skydiving and paragliding accompanied by local experts: the view will leave you speechless!
