Shopping in Palermo is a true delight: a city where you'll find a little bit of everything, from boutiques of high fashion to colorful markets selling fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish, as well as clothes and crafts. At the street markets, you'll find great bargains and experience the unique Palermitan atmosphere. The largest historical markets are La Vucciria, Capo, and Ballarò. If you're looking for famous Italian fashion brands instead, head over to Via Libertà, a street lined with both Italian and European high fashion labels.
When in Palermo, bring a typical, hand-craft souvenir back home that can remind you of your trip: painted pottery, coral jewelry, copper-ware or food delicatessen.
Mercato VucciriaPalermo's vibrant outdoor markets beckon exploration, and among them, the renowned Mercato Vucciria, affectionately known as La Vucciria, stands out.

Opening its doors every day except Sunday, the morning hours unveil the market's vibrant energy, making it the prime time for exploration.
