What travellers are saying
- SaleDamcSale, UK453 contributionsLoud, noisy and busy but that it part of the attraction. Plenty of stalls selling fresh fish, fruit and vegetables with enthusiastic vendors crying out, across the market, inviting you to sample their produce. There were many locals shopping there, which is a sign of how good it is and I have to say that walking through, some of the smells coming from the stalls was very enticing, and although I did not stop to eat, there were plenty of people who seemed to be enjoying their food, very much.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- duhozBeroun, Czech Republic6,315 contributionsPlace not to be missed,authentic food and fish market with great atmosphere. The fish section is fatntastic and eye-catching. If you like fishes you have to come and taste from fresh meat starters to grilled fishes or octopus. Oyster (1,5-2 Euro) portion of sea urchins (5Euro). Even if you will not pick any fish is interesting just to watch around. Open everyday till 15:00.Written November 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ints S3 contributionsIf you compare with Milano it’s small, plenty of people in budget stores, not much in more expensive ones.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bunty8United Kingdom617 contributionsIf in Palermo, visit the market, even if you don’t stop to eat. We did and were pleasantly surprised. It is very busy and crowded, keep valuables out of sight. Most of the stalls sell similar stuff but it’s interesting to see and sample local life and it’s free.Written September 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lendo m2 contributionsWish i read Reviews before visiting :). I had one medium Fisch, 5 smal crabs and 5 squids for 22€.

I come to Realisation i paid "tourist" praise.Too bad, because the meal was pretty decent gotta give them that.Written March 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Elena RoscignoSicily, Italy3 contributionsI am really proud of people that involved in this place creation/management.
This sort of park/museum is an innovation that needs to be comprehended and appreciated. It is quite pleasing!
My colleague and I found workers patient and willing with us.
The restaurant there is so lovely: typical tasty Sicilian food with the nicest staff in the town. I have to say thank you to the owner, because he had the idea of creating a modern but old Motel at the same time using his parents'house.
In my opinion, a tour guide that explains the real symbol of the place is the only thing that is missing.

- Mary SMoultonborough, NH15 contributionsOur group guide encouraged us to walk through and see all that Siracusa had to offer at this mercato. With very little time to shop my goal was cheese. While we did pass the famous sandwich shop with a line out the door we continued into the busy market area. Fish was displayed beautifully and looked so fresh. Spices, nuts and huge mounds of tomato paste were very doing a brisk business with local cooks. If only I could bring it all home. We spotted a cheese stand with large wedges of parmesan already shrink wrapped. The price seemed reasonable and the man selling was charming. No haggling, we paid the man! If you go ask you guide to accompany you to help find deals and what is in season. This market also has lots of clothing, belts, ceramics, handbags and trinkets seen all over Sicily.Written November 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luis10 contributionsI have been to Catania first, one year ago and then Palermo, this year. I read in a few places than Palermo has more to offer.
I guess it is because of the architecture and it is a bigger size city than Catania. Nothing else from my point of view.
Personally, I liked more Catania. Palermo I found it more disorganised, chaotic and noisy than Catania. Architecture is nice and culturally, the history is good. The airport is much more apart than Catania and there are less places to see around. In Catania for example, you can easily go to Syracuse, Messina, Taormina.
Another point, perhaps I was not lucky really, people in Palermo tended to be less smiley, unfriendly and showed like a fatigue attitudeWritten September 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LauraSouthampton, UK13 contributionsA lovely view of Mount Etna on approach to the large shopping centre! A great range of shops are inside, more toward the higher price range but there are still affordable shops too. A nice collection of restaurants at the other end of the mall. All in all, a great trip out!Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Grace D2 contributionsGreat selection of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, spices, fish, and seafood. I asked if the pears were ripe, and the vendor didn't lie. It was the freshest tasting, most perfectly ripe pear I've ever had!Written February 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GingerNutzNorthern Ireland, UK114 contributionsWe purchased a combi ticket for the permanent exhibition and also the temporary Leonardo di Vinci exhibition. First thing to say is that the fact that some of the exhibits are unlit (see various reviews below) you are informed of this before buying a ticket and your ticket is sold at a reduced rate as a result. The combi ticket was 12,00€ per person which was great value. The LdV exhibition explores his drawings and displays them alongside multimedia interactive modern interpretations. Very cleverly done with sound and projections. The permanent exhibition is a wonderful range of paintings and sculpture. Would thoroughly recommend particularly during the heat of the day. This would have got a 5-star review if it had it hadn’t been for some of the staff very noisily chatting to each other and/or having their mobile phones on all the time and not on silent!! Certainly spoilt the atmosphere at times. Nice gift shop. There’s also a cafeteria (didn’t try) too.Written October 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Martin George CMosta, Malta42 contributionsFirst time visit. Beautiful layout and a very good range of shops. Food court is very good but limited inrange, though we did enjoy eating there. Conveniently located especially if travelling by personal car. Closeto other outlets. A visit is a must for any visitors.Written September 17, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- gsm01828 contributionsA few great pieces and some other works of lesser interest. Do your homework and pick this or the modern (1800s on) to suit your taste if time is short.Written November 10, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
