Bars & Nightlife

The nightlife in Palermo follows the same pattern as in other Mediterranean cities: much of the gathering happens before dinner, and when the meal is over — sometimes not until midnight — it’s time to head back to the bars.

As always, the trendiest nightclubs of the moment can be found by asking the locals.
