  Liberation Day (25 April), Labour Day (1 May) and Republic Day (2 June) are public holidays, and when one falls near a weekend Italians bridge it into a long break, the ponte. Those weekends bring domestic crowds, fuller trains and higher room rates, and some shops close on the day. Kilde ↗

  1. jul. – 31. aug.Ekstrem varme

  When the sirocco comes off North Africa the city sits under dust-hazed African air for days at a time and the markets close by noon. Sicily's worst heat events land in this window. Kilde ↗

  The city's own week, u Fistinu: a wagon carrying the saint is hauled down the Cassaro on the night of 14 July and the whole of Palermo walks behind it to fireworks over the Foro Italico. Kilde ↗

  Christmas to the Befana

  8. dec. – 6. jan.Jul & nytårLukninger

  Cribs in the churches, buccellato and cassata in the windows, and a centre that half-closes between the holidays. Mild enough to walk all day, which December in Italy rarely is. Kilde ↗
