Nico , do you offer tours yourself
I recently visited Palermo, I am afraid to say that the streets are filled with rubbish and debris. This was not only in the poorer areas this was every street. I would never recommend Palermo as a destination. I would strongly suggest Take the train from the Airport, Once you arrive at the central station, find a connecting train and leave for another part of the country instantly, the tourist areas on the south coast and on the west coast like Cefalu are the hugely different and safer and cleaner.
Generally speaking, would you recommend staying in the Kalsa area?
I just love Palermo. The energy, the food, the people, the history, the culture. Just walking aroud gives such a bust. The only thing I missed was the large market that they have in Catania. But apart from that great place to visit!
I will be there next weekend. Look forward to it
