When is the best time to go to Palermo?
The best time to go to Palermo is during the shoulder seasons, specifically April to June and September to October.

These months offer pleasant weather, with warm but not excessively hot temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the city's historical sites and enjoying outdoor dining. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience without the intense heat.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway, late spring (April-May) is particularly lovely. The city is in bloom, and the mild evenings are superb for leisurely strolls through the historic centre or enjoying a glass of local wine on a piazza. This period also often sees various cultural events and festivals beginning, adding to the city's appeal.

Families travelling with children might find early autumn (September-October) more suitable. The sea is still warm enough for swimming, making day trips to nearby beaches enjoyable, and the slightly cooler temperatures are more comfortable for sightseeing with little ones.
