Sicily Palermo Airport (PMO) is officially named Falcone e Borsellino in tribute to the men who lost their lives fighting against organised crime in Sicily. The airport is one of the busiest in Italy, serving many international destinations and nearly 5 million passengers each year. The airport is located 35km from Palermo, meaning Sixt car hire allows you to immediately leave for your final destination. Simply come to the Sixt car hire station located 800m from the terminal building on the frequent shuttle, and your selected car will be ready for your arrival.
Palermo is well known for its rich history and beautiful architecture. Many buildings with Norman origins still stand, and the numerous truly stunning churches are no exception. The church of the Magione, founded in 1191, is a particularly fine example, and the cathedral houses an amazing solar observatory, dating from 1690. Outside the city, and best reached from the city by car, is Monte Pellegrino which rises above Palermo and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and sea. Whether looking for a cheap car or an exclusive vehicle, Sixt car rental offers the best way to explore Sicily.
