Discover the Magic of Palermo: Journeys Italy 2025

As we step into a new chapter of unforgettable experiences, Journeys Italy 2025 is ready to make its mark in Palermo, one of the most vibrant and culturally rich cities in Sicily. From the 17th to the 20th of November, delegates will immerse themselves in a meticulously curated programme that blends meaningful business connections with the unique charm of Palermo. With the City of Palermo as our gracious host and Grand Hotel et des Palmes as our luxurious base, we’re excited to share what’s in store.



Arrival Day: A Warm Sicilian Welcome

On 17th November, our delegates will arrive in the heart of Palermo, greeted by the warm hospitality that Sicily is known for. The evening kicks off with an elegant apericena at the iconic Grand Hotel et des Palmes, setting the tone for an unforgettable journey. Organised by Sicilian Journeys, this evening promises delightful Sicilian flavours and opportunities to reconnect with peers.


Day 1: Exploring Palermo’s Elegance and Culture

The 18th of November begins with an official welcome at the Grand Hotel et des Palmes. Morning meetings will be held within its timelessly elegant spaces, providing the perfect environment for meaningful business discussions. As midday approaches, delegates will take a short stroll to Palazzo Francavilla for an exquisite lunch amidst its stunning interiors.


The afternoon unfolds with more one-to-one meetings in Palazzo Francavilla, seamlessly combining business with history. As evening descends, delegates will enjoy an exclusive aperitif paired with a private visit to the majestic Teatro Massimo. Imagine sipping fine Sicilian wine while soaking in the grandeur of one of Europe’s most renowned opera houses—an experience to remember.

Day 2: Unveiling Hidden Gems

19th November promises yet another day of immersive experiences. The morning begins with productive meetings at the picturesque Villa Tasca, followed by a delightful lunch in its lush gardens. After lunch, a quintessentially Sicilian twist awaits: transfers in classic Fiat 500s or Ape Calessinos arranged by Sicilian Journeys. It’s a nostalgic ride through the streets of Palermo that will leave everyone smiling.



The afternoon brings us to the historic Palazzo dei Normanni, where meetings will take place in its regal setting. Delegates will then enjoy a guided tour of the breathtaking Cappella Palatina, a jewel of Norman-Arab architecture.


As the day concludes, the grand finale awaits: a themed gala evening that will transport delegates to the opulence of Sicilian aristocracy. Whether hosted at Grand Hotel et des Palmes, Villa Igiea, or a noble palace, the evening will be styled Gattopardo-esque or feature traditional Sicilian dancers to engage and enchant everyone.




Departure Day and Beyond
