Getting around
City buses (AMAT 
www.amat.pa.it ) cover every corner of Palermo as well as Monreale and Mondello. There's a flat fare of €1 valid for two hours, or you can buy an all-day ticket for €3.50, while tickets for the linea gialla and rossa, and the circolare (which covers the centro storico) minibus services, cost just €0.52 for a day's use – buy them from AMAT booths outside Stazione Centrale, at the southern end of Viale della Libertà, in tabacchi and anywhere else you see the AMAT sign. Validate tickets in the machine at the back of the bus as you board. The main city bus rank is outside Stazione Centrale and buses run until midnight (11.30pm on Sun). There are taxi ranks outside the train station and in other main piazzas, or call 
091.513.311, 255.455 or 339.408.5713). The minimum fare is €4.50; be sure the meter is switched on.
