Which neighborhoods in Palermo are the best home base in terms of safety and character which are within walking distance to the major sites? I am considering a B&B directly in from of the Massimo Theatre but haven’t made any reservations yet.
Anywhere between the train station and the Politeama theater would work. Avoid south of the train station.
I have stayed near the Politeama Theatre several times. It is a large, central square within walking distance of many shops and sites. The bus to the airport also stops right in front of the the Politeama.
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
I just stayed near the Massimo Theater. The neighborhood was fine with lots of restaurants.
