Disappointing and ugly

Aug 2024 • Family

Dirty and sometimes filthy, full of shops and fast food that instead of enhancing it have made it almost a bad place. Dilapidated buildings and many shutters lowered and badly reduced. Really a bad business card for Palermo that in the last 30 years has only gotten worse. Disappointment.

It's near to everywhere

Apr 2019 • Couples

We had our apartment here and surprisingly it's an interesting street, shop owner set up tables and chairs on the street so people can dine/drink outside. Local vendors will pull up with their cart and sell stuff (hats, sun glasses, earrings, bags, toys and etc) the whole night.

This street is like connection to everywhere, walk south to the Quinto Canto and Quattro Canti, Fontana Pretonia (Fountain of Shame), walk North to the Teathor Massimo. From Quinto Canto walk straight up to visit Cattedrale di Palermo.

Shopping and lots of good restaurant along side or just by walking distance.

The best of the large streets

Mar 2022 • Couples

This is a good route to use to get through the old city. It is mostly pedestrian, not noisy although quite busy. Shops and fast food eateries rule the street but overall entertaining.

Nice walk

May 2024 • Business

This street is really nice for walking. There are a lot of churches. And the four corners are pretty awesome. It feels very safe.

FREE! Must to go in Palermo

Jul 2022

A must to see in Palermo! This street is centrally located it is difficult to miss. Usually closed to cars, just official cars are allowed. At night is crowded with people strolling around, there are several bars and restaurants e police is everywhere!

Interesting Street

May 2018 • Couples

I guess most interest is centered on the intersection at the Quattro Canti and the nearby Piazza Pretoria and historic churches, while further along you will arrive at Teatro Massimo. There are many other historic buildings along the route plus the shops and restaurants. The section between the Teatro and the Quattro Canti is pedestrian only during the day.

Again, busy!

Jun 2018 • Friends

Very commercial, with slightly less tourist emphasis than Via Vittorio Emanuele. Cheaper eateries, shops catering to locals as well as tourists, walk it on your way to the theatre

Street within reach of tourism

Mar 2024 • Couples

Via Maqueda is the classic tourist street full of bars, pastry shops, shops within reach of tourists and from this street you can visit a large part of the center of Palermo.
In short, a strategic route with important economic value for businesses.

TOO BUSY

Oct 2023 • Couples

Vía Maqueda is one of the main streets in the historic center of Palermo. The Quattro Canti area is where it gets too crowded. We can find bars, restaurants and businesses of all kinds as we walk through it.

Not to be missed

Sept 2024 • Family

Very busy street full of clubs and shops but also rich in period buildings.
Here you can eat all the traditional Sicilian dishes at great prices. Recommended
