Under $100 / Europe

Enjoy breakfast at Pasticceria Cappello. This inexpensive café offers many vegetarian-friendly meals and great breakfast options. It’s one of the best bakeries in Palermo. Breakfast shouldn’t cost more than $10.

Visit the gorgeous Palermo Cathedral. It was originally built in 1185 on the orders of Pope Gregory 1, but the church also fashioned as a crypt and a mosque. Those and other factors influenced the building and gave it different styles and architecture preferences. The diversity in construction makes the building interesting to visit and explore. The cathedral has tours visitors can sign up for to learn more about the building. The entry fee is only a few dollars, but the guide fee depends on the guide.

Enjoy as much seafood as possible in this beautiful Italian city. Grab lunch at Ristorante Pizzeria Leone. The seafood pizza is highly recommended by visitors and it’s not going to break the bank. Budget around $15 for a meal.

After lunch, The Palatine Chapel is a must-visit attraction. It’s located near the center of Palermo and considered one of the best-preserved examples of Byzantine architecture in Europe. It was built in 1132 and has been well preserved. The walls and ceiling are filled with artwork, and visitors will enjoy taking their time walking through the area and admiring all parts of the Chapel.

For dinner, enjoy Trattoria Al Vecchio Club Rosanero. The restaurant sells fantastic seafood and Mediterranean food options. With more than 1,000 positive reviews on Trip Advisor, this establishment is sure to offer amazing food choices.
