A flexible route with visits to confirm

The itinerary starts with passes without stopping by teatro Massimo and a market unnamed in that entry. It lists 20 minutes at a Baroque church, replaceable by Santa Caterina; 20 minutes at an unnamed palace chapel; 60 minutes at the Royal Palace and Cappella Palatina; and 30 minutes inside the Cathedral. Whether the two palace-related visits overlap is unclear.

It then lists passes without stopping by a square, a fountain, a site with red domes and another described as a city symbol, followed by 30 minutes at a place with Baroque architecture and a cloister and a pass along a street described as Palermo’s oldest. These places are unnamed. The source describes several as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but the list does not guarantee every visit or identify the cloister as Santa Caterina.
