In a nutshell
a little town you might fall in love with
bimbodeb Says: The hydrofoil trip to Favignana is well worth the effort. We'd expected to be the only travellers out of season, so imagine our surprise when the boat was full of locals on Sunday morning, we reckon they were visiting family, judging by all the bakery goods they took along....
MikeAtSea Says: Erice sits on the legendary Mount Eryx at an altitude of 750 meters. The appearance of this village is puritanical since it comprises only of forts and churches and has the notorious history as the centre for the cult of Venus. Settled by the mysterious Elymians, Erice amid...

Antica Hosteria: Good food close to the harbour and the city centre
gmg61 Says: This restaurant has a good location for tourists, because it's very close to the harbour and few hundred meters away from the city centre.Though it's not the most elegant restaurant we've ever visited, we've always had good food experiences. They serve local food and fresh...
Pizzeria Mediterranea - Mario Aleci: Best Pizza EVER
MStars Says: Originally we were supposed to go to some other pizza place that supposedly served the best pizza, but it was closed so we randomly found this place. The next day we went to the first pizza place, and decided that the place we found had ultimately the BEST pizza ever.....
SERRISSO 47: wonderful gastronomic experience
lforrro Says: It's amazing how many of Trapani's best restaurants are disguised by unpretentious facades on the historical district’s side streets. This one, with its arched ceilings of stone, is hidden down a flight of steps behind the harbor (Siremar point).The cuisine based on...
Trattoria Miramare: Cheap and good pizza
juzz Says: It's a quite small and simple pizzeria, with plastic chairs and tables outside, but pizza was very good and they were quick in serving.It's also very cheap, about 12 euro per person.
sn0ball Says: There is no nightlife, we managed to find one bar to open after 9pm....
lotharscheer Says: From the Airport is about every hour a bus (A.S.T.) to Trapani, €4,90.Salemi has a bus to Masala.Terravision (run by Salemi) to Palermo €13 and Trapani € 8, driver want´s to see somtimes your Ryanair ticket!Terravision to Trapani and Palermo.Taxi about € 32 to the train /...
lotharscheer Says: Trapani welcome card for 3 day's unlimited city bus use, 1 return trip to Erice and 50% off different entrance fees € 9,50 is good value if you plan to go to Erice and stay at 2 day's, not if you go only to Erice.
lotharscheer Says: The busstation is next to the train station, the bus to Palermo is faster and more frequent then the train. The bus is also leaving from Trapani port.
To and from Trapani Airport (Birgi)
Brit-a-broad Says: On arrival at Trapani (Birgi) Airport, buy a ticket in the arrivals hall, the bus company is AST, and you will see a AST bus stop with a timetable right outside the the front of the arrivals hall. The tickets are 1euro70c (as at 30/10/2008). The bus stops at the train...
juzz Says: There is a cable way in the outskirt of Trapani, it's very comfortable, not crowded and it takes you just few meters from the entrance gate of the beautiful Erice. I really don't understand why people there fought for a place in the car park when the cable way is the most...
juzz Says: There are lots of ferries leaving from Trapani's harbour. The most appreciated destination is Favignana Island, about 30 min from Trapani, but you can also go to Levanzo and Marettimo, the other two islands off the coast of Trapani.
juzz Says: I was very surprise to see the service is very punctual. I used the buses quite much: to go to the airport, first of all. In this case buses are not very frequent unfortunately and it may be convenient to take a taxi but in some cases you may be lucky and you'll be able to...
caputomaru Says: If you ever go to San Vito keep very well in mind, as it is a very touristic place, at least among us locals and other italians, that in town is pratically impossible to park your car unless you show a ticket that proves you are a resident. so get organized well, easier if...
caputomaru Says: If you go on summer Erice is nearly all a pedestrain area , parking is only allowed all around the circular main road around the town.but many busses go up and down from Trapani regularly and since next summer the cable cab will be reactivated after 20 years cool !!!!!!!
erikute3534 Says: If you are not the person that knows a lot of languages (not perfect but..), you will find the problem comunicating.. Italians hardly speak other language apart from their mother language.. Is best you learn some important words (re directions, food etc..) Some words: where...
caputomaru Says: All the streets in Erive have this typical traditional ground with lovely smooth big stones.
caputomaru Says: Egadi islands are a set of three little island situated on the very west coast of Trapani, they are part of a maritime natural reserve.Favignana: Located about 17 kilometers southwest of Trapani, this is the largest of the Egadi, or Egidean, Islands. Still known for their...
extraweb Says: The city is renowned for its Easter procession, I Misteri, when the town's guilds parade a groups of sculpted 17th century and 18th century religious statues through the streets in a procession lasting for 16 hours on Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The 2007 is an year of...
