Top Trapani Art & Culture

Western Sicily has attractions of the caliber of those on the eastern coast, but they are often less accessible by public transportation. Instead of renting a car and dealing with the hassle of driving in Italy, let someone else take you to Segesta and Selinunte—two of Sicily’s less-known, but no less beautiful archeological ruins located nearly on separate coasts, and roughly an hour apart by car.

The archaeological site of Segesta and the picturesque medieval town of Erice lie just inland from Trapani, along Sicily’s northwest coast. Visit both on this full-day shore excursion, traveling in the comfort of a private vehicle. Discover Sicily’s ancient past in Segesta, including ancient Greek temples and a theater dating from the 5th century BC. Then, enjoy a walking tour of Erice, admire views along the coast, and stop to see the Salt Pans of Trapani.

Departure from Trapani with 8-seater minivan. Arrival in Erice and panoramic tour of the town, release to Porta Trapani for free time and souvenirs. We recommend visiting some of the town's churches, the Castle of Venus and the particular narrow streets of the medieval city. Erice has a breathtaking view of the Sicilian coast. You can visit it all year round and it is famous for its medieval villages and ancient traditions. At the end of the visit at the time agreed with the driver, you return to Trapani.

The UNESCO–listed cities of Palermo and Monreale are widely considered the jewels in Sicily’s crown, with baroque and Norman architecture, and a history dating back nearly 3,000 years. With this private round-trip transfer service from Trapani, reach both cities by air-conditioned minivan and see the best of Sicily in one day. Discover top attractions including the 12th-century Monreale Cathedral, with free time to explore the streets and markets at your leisure.
