Palermo is Sicily’s cultural, economic and touristic capital. It is a city rich in history, culture, art, music and food. Numerous tourists are attracted to the city for its good Mediterranean weather, its renowned gastronomy and restaurants, its Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque churches, palaces and buildings, and its nightlife and music.
Palermo offers both natural and cultural attractions, such as: the Cathedral, the Opera (the third biggest after the Opéra National de Paris and the K. K. Hof-Opernhaus in Vienna), the archeological museum, the Normans’ Palace, the catacombs of the Capuchin convent, St. Cataldo and the other Arab-Norman Churches and Palaces, the typical street markets and Monreale with its fantastic panoramic view on the city and the sea.
One needs only go some kilometers outside Palermo to meet breathtaking beaches and crystal clear sea. The mild Mediterranean climate with an average of 20 °C during spring and autumn creates the perfect conditions to enjoy the unspoiled coasts of Palermo almost all the year-round when the average sea temperature exceeds 18 °C -thus it’s always advisable to bring a swimming suit when visiting Palermo.
When we organize training courses in Palermo they take place in a hotel some kilometers outside the city with a private beach in front of an astonishing sea.
