Car Hire Palermo Via F Crispi

Palermo is Sicily’s capital, where the streets are chaotic, the Byzantine architecture is stunning, and the food is some of the best in the country. You’ll want to immediately dive in, so pick up your Avis rental car at Palermo Via F Crispi, and start driving.

We make car rental easy, because we know you can’t wait to feel the freedom of the road and get the very most out of your stay. Wherever your travels take you, the keys are waiting for you to unlock the world.

From Palermo Via F Crispi, take SS113 and Via Vittorio Emanuele to reach the heart of Palermo. Be sure to spend some time exploring Via Vittorio Emanuele itself – it’s one of the city’s main streets, and there’s plenty to see and do along this stretch. Start at Palazzo dei Normanni, which is filled with colourful mosaics, then head to La Cala, where you’ll pass churches with unique Norman and Byzantine styles. Also along this route are the Four Corners (Quattro Canti) fountains.

Stop in at one of the many cafes or restaurants along the way, and try some espresso and cannoli. Palermo is famous for its cannoli creations. Don’t forget to try some of the street dishes either; the Milza fried spleen sandwich is a very local dish. Then move on to do some shopping at the Vucciria Market.

Palermo’s Duomo is one of the most distinctive buildings in the city. The Normans built it in 1184, but it’s been expanded on over the years. The Goths, Spaniards, and even an architect from Naples, have all contributed to this building’s unique design.

Monreale

For a quiet getaway, Monreale is the place to be. Take Via Ernesto Basile from Palermo, and you’ll arrive there in just under 30 minutes. The focal point of this tiny town is the beautiful 12th century medieval cathedral. It was built by the Normans, but is an example of fine Byzantine architecture.

Cefalu

When it’s time to hit the beach, Cefalu is the ultimate destination in Sicily. It’s just an hour’s drive from Palermo on the E90. This picturesque fishing village is now a touristy spot for those seeking some beach time. It’s well equipped to handle the traffic, and you’ll find the area lined with great restaurants and cafes.

Agrigento

History buffs will love Agrigento. Take routes SS121 and SS189 from Palermo, and arrive in the Valley of the Temples. Here you’ll find an impressive collection of Doric temples that date back nearly 2,000 years, with sweeping views of the sea. The drive to Agrigento itself is worth the trip, as it’ll take you through small villages in the Sicilian countryside, such as Corleone.
