Palazzo Planeta is situated in the heart of Palermo, just steps from the shops and Liberty Avenue between the famous Teatro Politeama and Teatro Massimo and in a strategic position to reach the beautiful and rich old town. There is a restaurant next door, a bar is just in front of the main entrance and a supermarket across the road. 

From the apartments on Via Principe di Belmonte (the only pedestrianised street in Palermo), you will have the whole spectrum of unforgettable experiences that the island capital offers visitors including cultural sights, the great buildings of the UNESCO itinerary, luxury shopping in the elegant streets of Via Libertà and Via Ruggero Settimo, historic cafés , gourmet restaurants and interesting markets.

Palermo is situated in the north of Sicily in a wide bay underneath Monte Pellegrino (660m). Since its foundation under the Phoenicians, the city of Palermo has witnessed an astonishing number of civilisations come and go, each having left its own individual mark.

It is therefore unsurprising that Sicily’s capital features a wide range of historical points of interest such as the impressive cathedral, Palace of the Normans, grand neoclassical Massimo theatre, Politeama Piazza and theatre and Pretoria Square, which can be accessed from the apartments either by guided tour, on foot, by taxi or by bus.

Palermo was the Italian Capital of Culture for 2018, the award recognising Palermo's historical legacy, cuisine and range of cultural venues. Alongside its historical charm, Palermo also has a wide range of restaurants, café bars, shops, markets and Mondello beach 10km away.
