If cycling is your thing, look no further than Palermo! There is no greater pleasure in the morning, come rain or shine (albeit in Palermo the sun shines bright all year round), to climb MontePellegrino, the most beautiful promontory in the world (Goethe said), on your bike. I do it everyday and it is worth getting out of bed for

A unique place for every Palermitano DOC. Stunning.

Sicily is full of mountains and hilly regions and Monte Pellegrino sits next to Palermo and offers an escape to nature with unparalleled views of the city and Mediterranean. Aside from being a fantastic tourist attraction, the locals love to come here for an afternoon of fun too so expect to do some mingling. Only 9 miles from the city centre, this mountain is easily accessible and there is a regular bus service that runs to the top from Politeama. If you are particularly adventurous and fit, it is possible to hike to the top of Mount Pellegrino to, but don’t undertake this venture unless you are sure of your physical fitness and survivability! The cult of Santa Rosalia in Palermo is sacred for those who are religious and those who do not believe in anything. Each year on July 14th, we are all believers when the colorful festivities honoring Saint Rosalia begin. On that evening, relics are paraded through the city on a grand chariot, and the event finishes with a spectacular firework display. While everyone might sign up for the parade with the fireworks in the middle of the summer, on September 4th (also known as the liturgical feast), true believers make the ‘Acchianata’ (climb) to honor our patron saint. This is a 4km (2.5 mile) trail leading up to Saint Rosalia’s sanctuary, which is done on foot (some devout believers do it without shoes.) The sanctuary is within a cave where the last years of Rosalia’s life were spent.

Mount Pellegrino is one of the most recognisable features of Palermo skyline. It is the place where santa Rosalia, patron of Palermo, spent her life in hermitage. According to Goethe, mount Pellegrino is "the most beautiful promontory in the world".

Very nice view from the mountain. If you go on top you find some restaurants and a lovely sanctuary built in a cave (Santa Rosalia Sanctuary).
