Old Town

Palermo's evenings have a special charm that cannot be underestimated. It's the time when the city comes alive with all of its splendor, when stalls set up on the streets glow brightly, and people come together for food and fellowship.

Palermo's charm lies in its people and history: everyone who has passed through this port city, from Arabs to Normans, has left their mark. And that legacy continues today through the architecture that bears witness to that transformation.

In the old part of Rome, you'll come across several iconic structures: a fountain for shame, palace built at the request of King Ferdinand who fell in love with oriental style (Palazzina Cinese) and neoclassical church of Santa Cita - all worth taking a closer look.

Piazza Duomo

Day or night, this terrace offers the ideal spot to take in the sights of the world. But come evening, it truly comes alive with magic that sets the pace.

Palermo's cathedral can be found among the grand squares and palaces of Piazza Duomo, making it a must-visit destination for tourists visiting Sicily.

Palermo's Cathedral is not only a symbol of its significance, but one of the most stunningly beautiful structures in all of existence. Inside its walls you'll find stunning mosaics that are works of art in their own right.

On your visit to Palermo, make sure you visit the Cathedral of Monreale - especially its cloister and enjoy stunning views of the city from Conca d'oro. Additionally, don't miss out on seeing a brief demonstration of mosaic work, an ancient tradition still carried out by local artisans today.

Teatro Massimo

Palermo's Teatro Massimo stands majestically alongside Palazzo Sovrana, its structure designed with an eye for beauty and form. Here, it serves as a hub for performances and shows; an area where beauty, art and history come together in one majestic space.

Experience a magical evening at Teatro Massimo! Open daily until 4 September, guided tours are available and open to everyone.

This room overlooks Via Maqueda, offering an incredible view of Palermo's streets and activities. It is sound-proofed with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and private bathroom.

This stunning historic hotel is conveniently situated near Massimo and Politeama Theatres in Palermo's centre. It boasts an exquisite interior, welcoming staff, state-of-the-art air conditioning system and stunning panoramic views from its upper floors.

Piazza Armerina

Palermo's Piazza Armerina comes alive in the evening light, a medieval masterpiece that stands as the focal point of this vibrant town. Here, religion, art, and culture come together in unmistakable harmony.

Piazza Armerina is dominated by the 13th-century cathedral and surrounded by 18th-century Palazzo di Citta and baroque church of San Rocco. Additionally, there are several noteworthy monuments such as Roman villa del Casale.

Casale, Italy's ancient villa included in Unesco's world heritage list, should not be missed when visiting Sicily. Constructed during the late 4th century, its walls are covered with stunning mosaics; especially noteworthy is "little hunt", featuring scenes from Africa.

Monreale

Palermo at night is a city of contrasts, where the grand old town stands in stark contrast to a street market plunged into history full of colors, smells and vendors' shouts (i vuci). Every turn you take through its narrow streets and alleyways offers another delightful surprise.

On a half-day private tour, we will take you to Monreale Cathedral, one of Sicily's most striking Norman monuments. Built to symbolize King William II's power as Il Buono, this artistic marvel offers visitors an inspiring journey full of surprises and insights.

This church's interior is graced with Byzantine mosaics - an authentic blend of Northern European Romanesque architecture and Arab-Norman art that gave rise to Sicily's culture. A must-see for anyone visiting the island!

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
