Tours in Palermo |
Quality products by true craftsmen are available in Palermo, and make for original presents that reflect Palermo’s culture and tradition. The most popular by far are the pupi (puppets) that are such a big part of Palermo’s cultural life (see Culture). Head for Corso Vittorio Emanuele where several workshops are located and you may see a marionette come to life under your very own eyes.
Other typical products include Sicilian carts (although these might be a bit cumbersome to bring home), painted pottery and copper or tin objects that can be purchased in the ancient Via Calderai.
To immerse yourself in the best of the city’s atmosphere, head for the Vucciria Market (see Key Attractions), between Via Roma and Corso Vittorio Emanuele - make sure you get there early in the morning to see the market at its liveliest.
If designer gear is what you are after, head for the smart Via Libertà, which is lined up with Italian and European labels such as Cartier, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermés and Louis Vuitton, to name but a few.
