Palermo has several food markets (Mercati di Palermo), which are a fantastic way to sample local life, meet the local people, and get a real feel for the city.

The main food markets include Ballaro, Cap and Vucciria, which can be found in the center of the town and sell a wealth of fresh fruit, vegetables, farm produce, meats, cheeses, dairy products, and homemade cakes, pastries, cookies, sweets and more. Ensconced by a myriad of enticing aromas and vibrant colors, the food markets draw both tourists and locals tend to do their weekly shopping at them due to the low prices. The food markets are open every day throughout the year, from dawn until dusk.
