PRICELESS ADVICE FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS
1. From the airport, you need to get a train to go to Palermo. You find it downstairs the arrivals of the airport and it costs 5 € (Around 50 minutes to get to Palermo.
2. A tutor can help you during your Erasmus experience. They will help you in many different ways, picking you up at the station, showing you the city, helping you to buy a phone-card, taking you
to the International office, but especially they will help you to look for a flat.
3. Prices for the renting in Palermo are around 200/250 € for a single room, 150/160 for a bed in double room.
Sometimes owners try to get advantage of the foreign people. So that’s why it’s good you can go to look for a flat with a local person who knows if someone is trying to cheat on you.
4. Buying a telephone card is very important! We always advice to get the WIND, to create a net of the same companies. There are amazing offers with wind, you pay only 2 € per day for 4,000
messages per month and 6 € for 200 minutes of calls. A tutor usually helps you to get a WIND SIM card.
