NO MAFIA - JUST MAGNIFICENCE. I was stunned at how beautiful Palermo was. I will be back.

[@steve-marsh]

When you're just back from Italy as well, and after getting home at 2.30am, this is a perfect video to wake up to the following afternoon. Enjoying this with a coffee :)

[@SSS92934]

Scott in the warm ( Sicilly), Steve in the cold (Iceland) !

[@imsbvs]

would be fun if you both went to volcanos at the same time, Etna and one in Iceland (long list of choices)

Oh hey, it's that idiot that keeps reminding everyone where not to eat because of terrible research. Thank you for your service.

Tip from someone from Arizona - those microscopic cactus spines can be removed with duct tape, just remove it with a quick jerk!

[@ProfessorZanetti]

wow cool idea!

[@cathybonner7888]

Stunning architecture there Scott, topped with sunshine, what more could a tourist ask for? Glad you enjoyed your short break in Palermo

[@paddingtonkatie]

My husband lived in Palmero, around the corner from where you stayed, for just over a year. In his eyes you've done Palerno justice. It's been so nice watching this video with him and him reliving his time there. Now go to Sharjah so I can relive where I lived for 10 years!

[@adamdruett9107]

When I was in Palermo I popped into the theater to chance my arm. The main auditorium was sold out but they did have a special performance in a side room with a Cellist with interpretive dancer accompaniment. 5 euros! All in front of no more than about 50 people. That kind of unexpected gem is what travel is all about.

[@470danadidas]

Awesome video and a great guide to Palermo. And I also love cannoli!.

[@nicolosapienza3773]

Great video! 😊

[@davidknox5929]

For goodness sake Scott pls go into these beautiful churches!

[@savingfortravel698]

Next time: Climb to the top of the cathedral for stunning views.

[@1954alister]

Looks like a seriously nice city. I think I would enjoy a visit there.

[@christinecoates2499]

So glad you enjoyed Palermo. It's a wonderful city and worth a longer visit. You ought to do a tour of Sicily - it's stunning a worth spending a few days.

Nice one Scott .... just booked a flight to Sicily for February . Palm trees do it for me as well

Palermo has been the capital of the sicilian kingdom for centuries and still, it seems like a capital city like rome, tunis madrid and etc!

hahahah 🤣

[@johnhealy4233]

When I first saw the title of the video I thought it said Parliamo Sicily, I had visions of you doing the video dressed like Stanley Baxter.

[@smogontheline]

Beautiful architecture and sights. Did I see this right? You filmed all over with no issue, but filming a rack of socks is a no-no? 😂 Great video, Scott. Andy.

Do it by train! It’s a really fabulous journey !

[@LynnHypno]

Train to Naples - visit Pompei /Herculanium the Amalfi coast then get the night ferry to Palermo

[@Chris_Carini]

Great vlog. Getting there via the train/ferry is on my list. 😊

[@andybeaumont6047]

So happy you enjoyed it after not being impressed on your arrival last week I was worried, I loved it when I visited, so much history and beautiful architecture 😊

[@DaveCroft-w1d]

Sunday after church is always good with Scott!! As always, another good one... ive had mozzies bite the sole of my foot before!

[@phronsiekeys]

Prickly pear cactus fruit are delicious; I hope your breakfast included that. I'm only a little disappointed we didn't get a grocery store tour this time!

[@dazlebluefrogify]

Cheers scott for a great video of a wonderful city ,it's not really that far from me even if i fly so this is on my "bucketlist " as a place i dont need a passport (my french I D card will get me there)😂😂

[@ewenbrown6594]

Hi Scott, interesting video of a place that’s on my list to visit. For me it would be a driving adventure and ferry in an old Italian sports car. I’m from Bridge of Weir and happen to be a member of the British Cactus & Succulent Society, Glasgow branch. I propagate large numbers of cacti & succulents from seed so I’m interested in how you get on with the Opuntia seeds. Looking forward to more of your videos, especially in Italy. You should visit Turin one of these days, lots to see there. All the best, Ewen in dreary Scotland 🤠😎

[@sandiandgregh]

Why do I keep hearing “picture it, Sicily…” in my head. 😅

[@72lukey1]

Another interesting video Scott ❤

[@billythebrick1]

Scott if u want dessert island go to Thailand thousands of empty islands love forward to your video 😂 🙏

[@johnnierainey01]

Just for a moment...I thought that your cap was a Filson!

[@helenmchugh416]

Was there in May… loved it

[@imsbvs]

I was in Palermao 10 yars ago on a cruise stop over, the welcome with the market stalls & hawkers was very unwelcome, but once in the city it was great, found prices to be low, cheap destination to visit. Looking forwards to where you go next!

[@andywillis2650]

Nice video Scott, lots of architecture around the city. Didn't like the look of those cacti though !!

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you.

[@Tripreporternet]

Hoi, Scott, count me in this way. I was super positive surprised during my first visit at PMO/Palermo Falcone et Borsellino. Done it a couple of times since and also some surrounding areas, amazing. Recommend Lampedusa or Pantelleria!. Easy to reach by plane, POS service payed by the local government. Vola Sicilia. Greetings, Markus

[@kazzicup]

Giant cactus make me nervous.

[@gosomewherenew]

those coach journeys really make me feel uneasy, like Id hate to do them.. my parents did one to Spain from the Uk years ago and hated it.. kind of put me off, but I guess I should at least try one, one day.. maybe.. lol

[@nataliesmith303]

Looks fab in places 😂

[@annekerkvliet5096]

Great vid as usual Scott! I too was surprised when I visited Palermo as I expected it to be a bit of a scruffy, crime ridden place. Maybe it's a bit scuffed here and there but I thought it was beautiful with amazing buildings. So glad you got to indulge in your favourite Canolli!

[@paradoxparade1]

No, that's Glasgow and London nowadays.

[@DavidPeacock1972]

Welcome from over the water Malta. If you are ever in Malta I recommend Busy Bee for Kannoli. It is by far the best on this small island.

[@alisterhoult4795]

Good Morning Scott, I enjoyed watching your KZbin video! Thank-you for the video, Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.

[@lookoutleo]

Love your vids, not been to that part Italy , need to come try it

[@Martycycleman]

You dont hear these two words on a video let alone a sentence. Exotica and Scotsman. I expect Steve will try it sometime. Love the videos😊

[@malacca1951]

I - and a few friends who also love your videos - play a new game now! We count how long it takes for you to mention something about things being cheap or good-value or discounted! I think the record so far is about 7 minutes! We were going to have bets on when you used your trade-mark reference to 'Cruising Altitude' but that's nearly always within 3. I'm a Yorkshireman so I totally approve of thrift and discounts! I watch your videos with the lights off to save electricity! Another great video as ever of course. I hope you will get to Malta one day - my favourite island (apart from Skye!) Grazie molto!!

[@Hallimeister65]

Every video of Sicily I have seen (particularly including Palermo and Catania) makes it look good. I went there and the reality was a lot different. I thought the place was a complete dump on the whole. Genuinely one of the worst trips I've ever had!

[@vitorn6496]

If a 3000 year old city does not have any effect on you I don't think the problem is palermo

[@Hallimeister65]

Oh, it definitely had an effect alright. It made me want to go straight to the airport and leave.

[@navmantogo]

Being a fellow Scot it's lovely to see the sun as we head into the winter and shorter days.

[@zzhughesd]

Glad you went. Been twice. I’m meh on it. It offers loads. Just wasn’t nice weather when went. Sicily I love though. Was there in May and going next summer. Sicily cheap ( ish ) and bustling

[@thatfenderbloke]

I've watched several videos today and standard you tuber response when they go somewhere nice interesting where they may never go again. Haven't got time or too expensive 😂😂

[@rheagwynn3771]

Eek wanted to shout DONT TOUCH the prickly pear!! They are an invasive alien plant here in South Africa!!! The fruit is delicious - just use your thick welding gloves to peel them cool in the fridge! Thank you for sharing!

[@Robbo-fu5fm]

and is also a problem here in Australia. They were brought in to feed the cochineal beetles (which were used to manufacture a red dye used to colour the uniforms of the British Garrison Troops), as well as for use as ornamental garden plant. The cactus spread widely, causing millions of dollars of damage to crops and pastures. It was declared a noxious weed in 1893. By 1920 it covered 23,000,000 ha in Queensland alone. Eventually the Cactoblastis beetle was introduced from South America in 1925, released and successfully controlled the cactus by 1933. So successful was this early example of biological control that a memorial was erected to the Cactoblastis beetle in 1936 at the locality of Boonarga near Chinchilla in Western Queensland. The Cactoblastis Memorial Hall is the only memorial to an insect in the world. search Wikipedia for "Cactoblastis Memorial Hall" for more information. ..

If you return, a hike up the beautiful Monte Pelligrino (the mountain you showed a couple of times) is a must. You can visit the stunning Santuario di Santa Rosalia church near the top and admire the incredible views!

[@derekantill3721]

A lot of the cactus are prickly pears. They are edible.

[@stuartlong6217]

Great video!! I liked your opening quotation - I'd never heard it before, but it's exactly the case. Please accept my apologies if you have covered this elsewhere, but have you made a visit to Paisley's twin towns?? Could be a plan.

[@ml66b]

Nice Swiss railway watch!

[@MichaelBEANZ]

NO MAFIA NO VIEW

[@jonee4]

A lot of properties in sicily use the prickly pears as a boundary because they are better than fencing!!🫣

[@maunlio]

Hi! Do you know how those cactus are named in Sicily and Italy? Fichi d'India, it means Indian Figs.

[@wookiel]

considering that you were very intrigued by cacti you could try the fruits, Fichi d'India , you can find them in the various markets, very good

[@Vincegpz500]

You swine! I had never actually heard of cannoli until watching your videos. I went into a local coffee shop today and they had cannoli among the cakes. I thought I'd try. I tasted. Ooooohhhh. Hooked!

[@langserv]

In Italy, it's "Al aperto", not "Al fresco" for eating outdoors

At 1:18 there seems to be another travel blogger behind you.
