The old harbour, the Arabic neighborhood la Kalsa, Piazza Marina, the Foro Italico…..the whole town in the past was related to the sea and to the life of lots of population that lived and traded in Palermo coming from the sea. A tour through the history of the city with a visit to the Ecomuseum mare Memoria Viva that show the degradation of the coast and its slow destruction.

One of the best-known places to eat in Palermo is the Antica Focacceria San Francesco on Via Paternostro. Dating to 1834, this the classic place for street food which you can take away or eat in the old-world interior. Pay at the till before stepping up to the food counter and ordering your food; there's a menu and price list on the walls. Local specialities you can try here include pane e panelle and arancine with a choice of filling. Elsewhere you may have encountered arancini; linguists will be intrigued to learn that the masculine noun arancino is, for inscrutable reasons, feminine in Palermo. The marble tables on the ground floor are for take-away customers; upstairs is for table-service meals (less highly recommended by past diners; I'd stick to the take-away counter).
