We have always been used to thinking of Sicily as a summer or spring tourist destination, for its mild temperatures ideal for a swim in the sea and its vast offer of outdoor events ma...ti Have you ever wondered what this magnificent land offers during the winter?
We at Wonder We have found 5 good reasons to come to Sicily during the Christmas/winter period!
- The climate: except for a few days, the winter temperature here is always around 10-18 degrees due to a strong temperature range, giving perfect moments to enjoy the sun! Necessary outfit? Dress in layers!
- The sea in winter: the feeling of walking along the beach of Mondello during the holidays is something unrepeatable that will transmit a lot of tranquility and peace. Bring a towel with you and throw yourself on the beach with a timid winter sun
- Musical events: Palermo is beautiful both in summer and winter, for its great offer of shows and events spread throughout the city! From festivals like the Jazzfest which takes place in January at the theatre programme of the Theater Maximum, which is definitely worth seeing during a ballet or an opera. Also for the younger ones, the city offers several musical events organized inside clubs located throughout the historic center, we recommend that you always take a look at the events on Facebook to know where to go dancing during the weekend!
- Christmas: They may not be the Christmas markets of Alto Adige but Palermo, during the holidays, dresses up in many lights and colors! From the markets of via Emerico Amari to the glittering shop windows of Via Libertà... the desire to go shopping comes by force!
- L'offer of cultural monuments: many tourists take it for granted that Palermo should only be experienced outdoors but that is not the case! There are so many monuments that are worth a visit inside, even on rainy days and if you ask a Palermitan, surely not even he has ever visited all these places. What are we talking about? From museums like the Salt mines, the GAM, Rice or Abatellis up to the wonderful eighteenth-century palaces scattered around the historic center, once belonging to aristocratic and noble families such as Palazzo Comitini, Palazzo Asmundo and Palazzo Mirto. Of course, do not forget the monuments of the Arab-Norman site that must be visited internally for their unique beauty!
