Sunny weather graces Palermo all year round, and the most popular time to visit is in the summer, when temperatures are at their highest. Days in August usually reach the late twenties, and there’s very little rain. If you come here in the winter, you can expect temperatures in the early teens and a fair bit of rain – so don’t forget to pack an umbrella.
Citizens of Ireland don’t need a visa to enter Italy but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website.
You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving Ireland. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Italian nationals. It won't, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
