Palermo No Mafia Walking Tour
Tour Overview
The Teatro Massimo, the open-air market "Il Capo", Piazza della Memoria, Piazza Beati Paoli, the Cathedral, the City Hall, Piazza Magione: every stop is a cause for reflection, a chance to mull over the realities of the Mafia and consider the civic movement against Mafioso power.
Along the Cassaro, you will come across an orange sticker on their windows. Their owners have said NO to paying the extortion racket, or 'pizzo', and have joined the mafia-free critical consumption campaign promoted by the grassroots movement Addiopizzo.
The tour ends in Piazza Pretoria, in front of the City Hall. Here you will have the opportunity to discover some curiosities about how over the course of years the Mafia has related to politics.

Customer Reviews
This is a very informative and interesting tour. I can recommend that to everyone who is visiting Palermo!
We went on this tour with high expectations, and I have to say that, thanks to our guide Chloe, they were fully met. She was able to clearly explain everything there is to know about the “mafia” and “pizzo”—both past and present—to us . You can’t leave Palermo without having this experience. Marcella, Reggio Emilia
