Transportation

PALERMO Reaching Palermo from the Airport is very easy and convenient. You can take:
- bus (the name of the line bus is Prestia Comandè). It runs every half an hour and takes 30 minutes to reach the town with some convenient stops along the way (one is almost in front of the Theatre, the terminal is at the Train Station).
- train: you can catch the train from inside the airport terminal to Palermo city. It takes a bit longer than the bus and runs less frequently.
- shared taxi. It is a cooperative of taxis that can host up to 8 people with luggage. They organise the service from Airport to some spots into town. You will only have to wait 5-10 minutes (no more than that usually) and even though they have not filled the taxi they will take you to town. They usually follow the same itinerary as the bus.
- regular taxi. They stop in front of the airport exit. They charge approx 48-50 Euros per trip (fixed rate) or 60 at night with luggage. Transfer duration: 30 minutes or little less.
