Shopping in Palermo
What there is and where to find it

Palermo's main shopping district is Via Libertà (and the gridwork of streets on either side of it) in the area between the Politeama opera house and the English Garden (Giardino Inglese), and there are isolated shopping areas (such as Via Bara all'Olivella and Via dell'Orologio between the Teatro Massimo and Piazza Olivella) which specialise in particular items. This growing list favors local merchants selling locally produced merchandise.
