The cafés and bars around Piazza Marina form a relaxed evening zone in the Kalsa district of Palermo, beside the Giardino Garibaldi with its giant banyan trees. Outdoor tables fill with residents and visitors for aperitivo, beer and wine, and the square is lit at night. The surrounding area holds Palazzo Chiaramonte Steri and the Museo Pasqualino. Individual venues on the square vary in quality and opening hours, so this entry covers the zone rather than a single bar.
