Stunning opera theatre in heart of Palermo. Third largest in the world. Breathtaking interior. Enjoyed a guided tour for around 45 minutes. €30 for a family ticket. Capo market is nearby for cheap local food. Must visit.

Definitely worth visiting in Palermo! Made famous by the White Lotus for good reason. Visited on a ridiculously hot day but it was cool enough inside. When we got there we had to book a tour that was about a 20 minute wait. The tour itself was probably about an hour and quite good - well explained, got to go behind the scenes, and the band even happened to be practicing while we were there. Can find parking quite close if you drive. The grounds and streets around the Teatro are also worth exploring. Great place to base a day trip to Palermo around.

Finally got to go inside this building. It costs £12 euro pp, guided tour with an English speaking guide. Beautiful building, so much history, a very large well thought out design so everyone could see the stage, has a special royalty box which we got to have a look at and sit in. To build this magnificent building they had to knock down a nunnery, and a police station, one of the nuns ghost is still in the building and if she knows u don't believe in ghosts u may fall down the stairs... Just saying. They still have shows on here, it doesn't matter where u sit, pricing is between £36 & £150 euros even in the royalty box if it's available. (We got cornered by the horse and carriage guy. Promised us an hour ride, we only got 20 minutes if that, so disappointing.)

What a treat! We visited this theater as a part of our tour of the city center of Palermo. The acoustics are magnificent and to hear live musicians play was special. The engineering and attention to detail are worth a visit.

Beautiful! When you’re visiting Palermo come and take a look at this place. You can only enter via a tour. Mine was spoken in English and Spanish. The tourguide had a thick Italian accent but gave nice facts about the place. Keep in mind that it only lasts for 30 min.
