The best way to get around in Erice is by foot. You will take in more of the town and enjoy its many splendors. The streets are so narrow anyways I doubt some cars ever get through.

I was telling someone about this on VT a little while ago and I just found this photograph. Erice is up a long way up and if you’re scared of heights you may want to know about this bus trip before you depart. The photograph is taken from inside the bus looking out the driver’s window as the bus turns a corner. Yes that is a valley below! It took a few grappa’s to get my wife back on the bus to Trapani the next day.

The best way to get to Erice is by car. There should also be a bus going there from Palermo.

In 2005 it has been inaugurated the new cableway that directly gives to the periphery of Trapani to Erice. The last time I was in Trapani, september 2005, it was in function, but I have known from some friends that in the spring 2006 it was already stopped for technical problems….it is always better to inquire before.

Take Bus 21 or 23 (from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, € 1.20, you can get the ticket from the driver ) to the cable car station. Return ticket is € 6,50, about 10 minutes with great views over Trapani and the sea.
