FrÄgor och svar om att resa frÄn Taormina till Palermo
How far is the Palermo Airport (PMO) from downtown Palermo?
A taxi can get you to Palermo Airport (PMO) in 40 minutes from downtown Palermo. Despite its name, the airport is quite a distance from the center of Palermo, but the E90 highway will take you directly there. Taxi rides average $40.
Which is better, Palermo or Taormina?
Itâs like comparing apples to oranges! Taormina is a small, chic, and vacation-oriented town, but Palermo is the largest city on the island. Experience the whole range of lifestyles Sicily has to offer and use Daytrip to conveniently see both cities!
Can you get a boat from Palermo to Taormina?
Yes and no. You can take a ferry from Taormina to Reggio Calabria or Messina, and from there you can find a ferry that will take you around the coast, but a boat is the slowest way to travel. Definitely use land transportation for this trip.
How do I get from Taormina to Palermo?
You can travel to Palermo from Taormina via train, bus, or a private car. Train and bus travel will require at least one transfer and is often late, but it is an economical way to travel around Sicily. Use a private car if youâd like to get quickly to Palermo.
How far is Palermo from Taormina?
The drive covers a distance of 160 to 170 miles (260 to 275 km). The distance depends on if you take the highway that wraps around the island via Messina or cut across Sicily to Palermo via Catania. This drive takes about 3 hours either way.
What are traditional Sicilian foods?
Cannoli, muffuletta, couscous alla trapanese, and arancini are all Sicilian dishes. Palermo is the convergence of all of Sicily, with markets and restaurants full of local delicacies. You can taste the Arabic influence in Sicilian foods with their unique flavors compared to mainland Italy.

A road trip from Taormina to Palermo offers an authentic exploration of Sicilyâs unique culture and stunning views. Youâve probably already noticed during your time in Taormina that the Mediterranean and Arabic influences set Sicily apart from mainland Italy. The Sicilian dialect and local customs are distinctly different, and can even change from town to town within Sicily.
During your stay in Taormina you had great views of Mt. Etna, so why not get a closer look? Your Daytrip driver can take you right to the funicular that will carry you halfway up the slope to see this unique environment. This active volcano is the tallest point in Sicily.
Historical sites like Castello di Caccamo and Tindari might be overlooked by the typical vacationer, but with a private driver, these sites are more accessible than ever.
As you arrive in Palermo, youâll find a city famous for its association with The Godfather, embodying a gritty, authentic Sicilian atmosphere. It is a far cry from the small, romantic beach towns that dot the coast. A car trip from Taormina to Palermo gives you the full spectrum of Sicilian magic! Buon viaggio!
About Palermo
Palermo is the capital of Sicily and sits at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. In its 2,700-year history, many cultures and ruling empires have influenced Palermoâs development- from its religion and language to food and architecture.
### Palmemoâs Past
Founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC, it was initially known as "Ziz". Through the centuries, Palermo fell under the control of the Greeks and Carthaginians before becoming a significant part of the Roman Empire.
During the medieval period, Palermo flourished under Arab rule starting in the 9th century. They introduced sophisticated irrigation systems and enriched the city's cuisine with exotic spices and ingredients.
In 1072, the Normans conquered Palermo, marking the beginning of a golden age. Under Norman rule, the city became a melting pot of cultures, incorporating Byzantine, Arab, and Western influences, a heritage still visible today in its architecture and art.
In the modern era, Palermo continued to be a focal point in Italyâs history, especially during the Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification in the 19th century. It played a significant role in the struggle against foreign rule and later became a hub for social and political movements.
### Why we keep visiting Palermo
Today, Palermo reflects the diverse layers of its history through its architecture, from the magnificent Palermo Cathedral to the Arab-Norman Palatine Chapel. Open-air markets, such as Ballaro and Vucciria, blend culinary traditions from the Arab world and mainland Italy. Its gritty personality attracts those seeking to understand the historical complexities and cultural richness of Sicily and the broader Mediterranean region.
1.3 million people call Palermo home and another 1.2 million people visit each year from Italy and around the world. Come see what all the hype is about!
From Taormina to Palermo: travel tips
Following these guidelines will help your journey from Taormina to Palermo go as smoothly as the piped ricotta in a cannoli.
Plan around the riposo (siesta)
Due to the high heat, expect shops and restaurants to be closed for a few hours from lunch to the late afternoon. In Italian, this is known as the riposo, but youâve probably heard it also called the siesta, from Spanish-speaking countries. The days in Sicily are long and sunny, and shops keep late hours for when the sun is less intense.
It is worth confirming that your sightseeing stops in the afternoon will be open when you plan to visit.
### Dress comfortably
Italy is all about effortless style, so do as the locals do and pick loose-fitting clothes that cover your skin from sun damage. Natural fibers like linen will keep you cool and a wide-brimmed hat will keep the sun out of your eyes. Sandals with a strap around the heel will keep you safe on ancient cobblestoned steps and stairs.
How to get from Taormina to Palermo
For your road trip from Taormina to Palermo, you have three options: bus, train, or private car. Using public transit infrastructure in Sicily requires a laid-back attitude and flexibility, but can be a rewarding way to travel like a local.
### From Taormina to Palermo with a private driver
The simplest way to make the journey from Taormina to Palermo is by driving. With Daytrip, you'll receive door-to-door service from a friendly, English-speaking driver who can offer travel tips and insights about the areas youâre interested in. This makes for a much more personal and memorable experience than a regular taxi ride.
Many of Sicilyâs best sites are difficult to reach with public transit, but Daytripâs easy-to-use booking system allows you to efficiently include sightseeing stops at places like Mt. Etna, or Cefalu and its UNESCO-listed cathedral. Driving is the quickest option and you can leave the narrow coastal roads and traffic in the hands of an expert driver. You can be in Palermo in as little as 3 hours and prices start at just $90 (âŹ83) per person!
### From Taormina to Palermo by train
Trenitalia has 10+ trains per day leaving Taormina-Giardini station to Palermo Centrale. The trip takes 4 to 5 hours and you will have to transfer at Messina Centrale. Ticket prices fluctuate, but generally range between âŹ18 and âŹ32. While the train is the most economical travel option, it can be congested and slow.
### From Taormina to Palermo by bus
Traveling by bus across Sicily is certainly the most adventurous option. While buses leave multiple times per day from Taormina, you will have to transfer at least once. The trip costs $20-39 (âŹ18 to âŹ36) but requires buying tickets across multiple bus companies. If you choose to travel by bus, make sure to leave enough layover time before your second or third bus to account for any delays.
Things to do when you get to Palermo
Youâve been all over Sicily on your Taormina to Palermo transfer, but now itâs time to take on the capital. Start your morning with a cappuccino and cornetto, put on your walking shoes, and explore Palermo!
### Visit Cattedrale di Palermo (Palermo Cathedral)
As a metaphor for Palermoâs mixed ancestry, the Palermo Cathedral is a stunning example of Sicilian architecture, featuring a mix of Norman, Gothic-Catalan, and Baroque styles. The structure you see today was built in 1185 on the site of a Byzantine basilica that eventually became a mosque. It includes important instruments for astronomy and time telling, as well as underground crypts. Don't miss the rooftop tour for panoramic views of the city!
### Visit Palermoâs Baroque churches
For other stunning examples of Catholic-Baroque architecture, visit Chiesa di Santa Caterina and Chiesa del Gesu. Both churches are unassuming on the outside, but the interior is thoroughly Baroque. Every single inch of the columns, walls, ceilings, floors, and railings have intricate, detailed designs made to show off the wealth of the Catholic Church at the time.
### See quadruple at Quattro Canti
Stand at the crossroads of Palermoâs historic center, where four Baroque buildings mark the meeting point of four neighborhoods. The buildings date back to the early 1600s, and each one has unique details and qualities. The fountains on the ground floor represent the four seasons, the statues in the niches in the middle of the buildingsâ facades are 4 Spanish kings, and at the top are 4 saints that protect Palermo.
### Stroll through Palermoâs many street markets
Feel the Arabic influence on Sicily in the bazaars, try local fruits and vegetables you may not have back home, and buy homemade sauces and pastries. Eating is a major component of getting the full Italian experience, so try all the Sicilian street food you can manage!
Mercato di Ballero (BallarĂČ Market) is Palermoâs oldest street market, but other markets like Mercato del Capo and La Vucciria will also satisfy any and all of your food cravings. Bring an empty stomach and a reusable shopping bag for all your treats!
### Teatro Massimo: the star of the stage and screen
Teatro Massimo is best known to international visitors for the dramatic final scene of The Godfather 3, which takes place on its steps. It is Italyâs largest opera house, famous for its grand architecture with Greek elements, as well as its acoustics. If you can find tickets, attend a performance to get the full experience.
When is the best time to visit Palermo
Sicily in the summer is very hot and dry, but it is the most popular time to visit. People flock to the beaches to cool down and accommodation prices are higher in the summer. That's why we say the best time to visit Palermo is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October).
You'll avoid the sweltering summer heat and high tourist season and enjoy a more comfortable and less crowded visit. These seasons offer mild, pleasant weather, with temperatures ranging from 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). The crowds are thinner compared to the peak summer months, making it a more relaxed experience.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âThree trips with stop overs; Trapani to Cefalu (Segesta), Cefalu to Taormina (Tindari), Taormina to Palermo. Excellent drivers, on time , careful, and reliable. Extremely easy to book on line. Lots of good on line communications. Would highly recommendâ
