Sicilian capital of mosaics and street food
Sicily's capital is a 1,000-year-old patchwork of Arab-Norman mosaics, Bourbon palaces, and street markets that feel more Marrakech than Italy.




Walk old town; taxis cheap; train along coast.
Eat the street food — locals trust the vendors, you should too.
Very safe. Watch for pickpockets in major cities.
Vucciria bars at night; Champagneria.
