In this episode of Travel Our World, we head to Palermo, the vibrant and chaotic capital of Sicily.

Recorded on location, Martin is joined by friend of the pod Owen as they explore a city full of history, culture and incredible street food, where every corner tells a story.

From bustling markets and grand architecture to raw, authentic neighbourhoods, Palermo offers a completely different side of Italy.

In this episode we explore:

• Palermo’s street food scene and local flavours
• The city’s rich and complex history
• Walking through Palermo’s old town
• The contrast between beauty and grit
• Why Sicily feels so different from mainland Italy

Back in the studio, Martin is joined by Damian, who brings a fresh perspective having not been on the trip but having been to another part of this beautiful island.

We also discuss the latest travel news and tech, with a focus on Italy and European travel.

Lauren joins us with another Postcard from the Road, while Hannah shares the latest entry from The Mountain Diaries.
