New Year's Eve in Palermo is celebrated in the square at the concert in Piazza Castelnuovo, organized every year by the Municipality of Palermo.
We will welcome 2024 with a musical concert which he will see on the stage in Piazza Ruggero Settimo (in front Politeama Theatre) Elodie, the queen of Italian pop, multi-platinum artist and performer of some of the most successful songs of recent years. An evening full of music and entertainment which from 9pm onwards will liven up the square and transform it the heart of the city in a vibrant party arena.
How far is Piazza Ruggero Settimo from the historic centre?
Piazza R. Settimo is about 19 minutes by walk from the intersection between via Roma and via V. Emanuele. The advice is to walk on foot using the main axes such as via Maqueda, via Roma and via V. Emanuele and head towards the square around 10pm. Maybe equipped with a good bottle of sparkling wine to share with other people. Avoid walking around midnight due to problems with the bangs.
What if I want to have dinner outside before the concert?
On the last day of the year there are many restaurants that offer a particular blocked menu, full of local specialities. From street food to fish-based dishes, concluding with the classic panettone. Always pay attention to quality and prices because the trap is always lurking.
Among the restaurants in the centre, we suggest some: the Osteria Ballarò with its suggestive historical location, the Terrazze del Sole with a breathtaking view from its terrace. Finally theOsteria della Mercede, a few steps from the Politeama.
Check the respective menus and book well in advance. Also don't forget to wear comfortable shoes, anticipating having to stand for a few hours during the celebrations.
Now all you have to do is plan your last day of the year!
