On a Family Adventure in Palermo

Duration: 4 hours

Ages: 4-12 years

Assisted by our expert guide, plan an exciting day for the little ones and take them behind the scenes with a master puppeteer to learn the secret to the playful sleight of hand required for this illusive art. You’ll visit the Puppet Museum where junior entertainers can don costumes of their favourite fictional characters such as Paladin, the legendary knights of Charlemagne’s court.

Board an ape, a classic Sicilian three-wheeled vehicle, and whizz through the narrow, picturesque alleyways of Palermo’s historic city centre. Delve into the colourful world of local crafts in the Kalsa district, lined with artisanal shops specialising in handmade ceramics, woodwork and textiles.

Cap off the day with a visit to a local pastry shop and put your culinary skills to the test. Make your own version of Sicily’s favourite sweet treat, cannoli, which you can taste for yourself once you’re happy with your creation.
