Step into Palermo from the open top of a CruiserCar—an intimate, private cabriolet tour that threads the city’s art, markets and coast into one seamless ride. Choose a 1-hour highlights loop or a 6-hour deep dive to Monreale and the Catacombs.

The CruiserCar eases away from Porta Nuova and Palermo rearranges itself in the rearview—stone facades soften, cathedrals sharpen, and the sea seems to wink from below. The city sits open like a map folded along centuries: a Norman basilica here, a Baroque square there, and alleys where markets still trade in loud, bright negotiation. Riding in the world's first 9-seater cabriolet feels theatrical without being fussy: wind in your hair, a local Cicerone marking where empires met and left their marks.
