Port Vell waterfront, maritime history, Gothic Quarter streets.
Barcelona is the busiest cruise port in the Mediterranean and one of the few where the city genuinely rewards arriving early. The terminals are at Moll Adossat, out along the breakwater past the old harbour, close to the bottom of La Rambla but not walkable from it with luggage.

Palermo docks close to the centre of a city that rewards walking more than touring: Arab-Norman churches, three street markets and a baroque core that has not been polished for visitors. Monreale and its cathedral mosaics are twenty minutes uphill and are the one thing worth leaving town for.
