Palermo is one of the most animated, frenetic cities in Sicily, and offers lots of opportunities for night-time fun in dreamlike, exotic and eastern-style settings.

One of the most common meeting places is the market area, Borgo Vecchio that lies among Piazza Sturzo and Piazza Ucciardone. This market is the only one that continues open until late, attracting a lot of young people who meet here to organize their evenings. Other meeting places are Piazza Olivella, that is full of people and the aroma of kebabs and spices, and the lanes that spread out behind the Teatro Massimo.

Here are a few of the many clubs in Palermo that are famous due to the charming, elegant and original atmospheres:

Cuba, a private club furnished in Arabic style can be found in the garden of the amazing Villa Sperlinga. Here you can sip cocktails while listening to lounge music.
Cambio Cavalli is in Via Patania and is inside a seventeenth century building, where art and photography exhibitions by young artists are often held.
Chill-out music at the Moro in Piazza Pottino, on the Arnella Sea Front: an extremely relaxing, intimate atmosphere, where you can sit on rugs and cushions in candlelight.
