Palermo is a thousand-year-old city with an important artistic and architectural heritage. Once Palermo was a prestigious center in the Mediterranean and still today it shows the charm and grandeur of its past grandeur combined with the natural beauty that surrounds it.
Sicily's capital offers excellent gastronomy to its visitors, beautiful landscapes, monuments and much more.

Theatre lovers should not miss a performance by the Pupi Siciliani, puppets that perform Carolingian-style pieces and that have been considered a Unesco Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity since 2008. The main characters are Charlemagne and all his paladins and adversaries.
Characteristic is the fixed market of Ballarò, where you will find fresh, seasonal foodstuffs and be immersed in the city's noisy and truest atmosphere. The inhabitants of Palermo frequent this market daily, either for shopping or for a lunch break with ready-made regional dishes. We recommend visiting the city especially in autumn or spring when the heat is not excessive and walking through the sunny streets is a real pleasure!

Tunis, capital of Tunisia, actually consist in three cities: the Modern Capital of the Tunisian Republic, with its wide streets, skyscrapers and bustling cafes; the Arab Medina (Old City), a fascinating medieval maze full of secrets, narrow alleys with small shops, big mosques and buildings, and finally, Carthage, the ancient Phoenician-Roman centre, located 18 km from the city.
Visit the Baths of Antoninus and the Bardo Museum, which is not only the most important museum in Tunisia, but also one of the oldest in the Arab world, where you can admire ancient artifacts, statues, and the richest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. A day trip to the fishing village of Sidi Bou Said includes the possibility to visit a typical house turned into a museum. A vacation in Tunis is not complete without experiencing the Medina-the typical market: you are sure to pick up a beautiful souvenir of your stay here.
Valletta
Malta is one the smallest States in the Mediterranean. Few European countries have such a concentration of history, architecture and, beautiful beaches in such a small area. Malta is one of the most concentrated areas of historical interest anywhere in the world, for this reason it was called La Valletta when Unesco awarded it the title of World Heritage Site. The city is therefore the ideal city for art lovers and it is renowned for its massive fortifications and architectural excellence.Catania
