Palermo, Sicily
Preference Events organises events in Palermo: a destination steeped in history for organising an incentive trip or seminar in Sicily.
The capital of Sicily harbours the vestiges of its many invaders. Exceptional churches and palaces combine Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Palermo has always been at the crossroads of civilisations, between East and West, and has preserved the traces of all the cultures that have shared it: language, customs, architecture… This history, and even more so the atmosphere that reigns here today, contribute to the fascinating charm of this city of a thousand contrasts. Organising a seminar or company trip will allow your guests to discover the charm of Palermo in the authenticity of its markets and the liveliness of its narrow streets.
Generally overlooked in favour of pretty Taormina, Palermo (Sicily) will plunge your event into the heart of the Sicilian soul. You’ll enjoy the proximity of two charming towns, Monreale inland, famous for its cathedral, or Cefalu, a few kilometres east on the coast, a small port also known for its superb Byzantine cathedral… This charming setting is a perfect pied-à-terre for organising a reward trip or an executive committee meeting, for example.
