Palermo: No Mafia Guided Walking Tour
About this experience
Learn about the Mafia's history and the **civil anti-mafia movement** while strolling through Palermo's picturesque historic center. See a city standing firmly against the Mafia’s influence.
This 3-hour walking tour offers an insightful look at a city defying Mafia control. Led by locals, deepen your understanding of the notorious Sicilian mob and the vibrant anti-mafia movement, beyond the myths seen in films like _The Godfather_.
Visit sites like Teatro Massimo, the open-air market _Il Capo,_ a memorial for prosecutors and judges killed by the Mafia, the Cathedral, City Hall, and Piazza Pretoria. Each stop offers a chance to reflect on the Mafia's realities and the civic movement against its power.
Along the Cassaro, spot orange stickers in shop windows. These businesses have rejected Mafia extortion, or ‘pizzo,’ joining the Addiopizzo movement's campaign for mafia-free commerce. Take the chance to support them with some “good” shopping!
