Palermo's historic center has narrow streets and uneven pavements that can be challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. However, main streets and newer areas are more accessible. Public buses are being updated for better accessibility, and many major attractions have ramps or alternative entrances.
Palermo is generally safe for visitors, though like any large city, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas, so keep valuables secure. The historic center is well-patrolled and safe to explore during the day and early evening.
Tipping in Italy is not obligatory but is appreciated for good service. At restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% is common. Many restaurants charge a small cover charge (coperto), so check your bill. For coffee at bars, leaving small change is typical but not required.
Palermo is a street food paradise. Must-try dishes include arancini (fried rice balls), panelle (chickpea fritters), sfincione (Sicilian pizza), and cannoli.
