Staying near Palermo Centrale and Via Roma
Via Roma runs well beyond the station, so measure the walk from Palermo Centrale to the actual entrance before booking. A listing using the station label may still require several turns through side streets. Save the entrance photograph, check reception arrangements for your arrival time and identify the main-road approach you will use when returning with luggage.
