Trapani

Hej guys!

I am planing a trip to Trapani, from 23.06 until 30.06 and I am totally in doubt about rent a car. My husband and I don't like driving too much, but I've heard at the public transport in Trapani is not so often and it could be more stressful than if we rented a car. Is it true?

We are going to stay in the old town and planning to visit:

The Salt Fields
Mozia Island
Erice
Marsala
Monte Cofano Natural Reserve
Segesta
San Vito Lo Capo

Does anyone suggest anything else?

Thanks in advance :-)

Do you recommend some hotels near the airport? What worth to seeing near Trapani?

Planning a short weekend trip to Tripani. I am from the US. Would you rent a car? What nearby places are a must see?
Thanks!

Hello!

I need your help :) I don't understand the different informations about the time of travelling from Trapani to Palermo. For example:

- Segesta bus needs 2h or more
(interbus.it/Orarietariffe.as...

- meanwhile from Trapani Airport (which is 20-30min away from Trapani city) with Terravison needs 1h 20min

(book.terravision.eu/rides?fo...

It's this a mistake or why takes so much longer with a Segesta bus??

Thanks for your help

I would like to ask please if it is necessary to pre-book seats on the bus from Palermo Airport to Trapani Port and also if I need to pre-book the ferry/hydrofoil to Favignana for 3 passengers travelling in June. Many thanks.

Hello I will be in Trapani in August as a stop on a cruise and would like to go to Erice. I'm sure the ship will arrange its own excursion but we're more 'go it alone' type people. I've gathered from other sources that the cable car from Trapani to Erice is usually closed on Mondays but not in August. Is that correct? Also, how far is it from the docks to the cable car station? Is it possible to walk? I read somewhere that it gets VERY busy at the cable car station and wondered how true this is. Someone apparently gave up as they didn't want to queue for ages. Would it be likely that there would be a queue for 30 minutes or more? I know it will all depend on the day, weather, number of people around, etc but if someone has seen massive queues, please tell me. Many thanks in advance for any responses you're able to give me.

Hi, Me and my girlfriend are planning a trip to Trapani / Palermo this spring. As I am in a wheelchair, I need to getting informed in advance about the possibilities to travel in and around Trapani. So, a few questions: * would it be possible to get around in Trapani city center? Are there steep roads etc. (my girlfriend will be pushing my wheelchair - I am not heavy ;-) ) * is the public transport wheelchair accessible? * how is the general idea about "accessibility" in the city and touristic highlights? * is there an other way then by taxi to travel from Trapani airport to Palermo (as a taxi is quite expensive)? Some answers to these questions would be really really helpful. Thanks, Marc

We arrive on 14 june 21.00u on airport Trapani, we hav to go to Castellalammare del Golfo, can we go there by bus or train? Is there a website for it? Does anybody know were I can get information?

I'm considering a short break to Trapani - just a couple of days. As I won't have a car, I'm interested in finding out how easy it will be to get about. Buses seem to be more convenient in trains, but I haven't found timetables, so I'm not sure how regular these are. As it's a short trip, I'd prefer to go elsewhere if getting from place to place is likely to be difficult. Is it easy to get into Trapani and beyond if you stay outside the town? In Erice, for example? I also wonder if buses into town meet the Ryanair flights? The airport website mentioned buses arriving after AirOne flights, but the overwhelming majority of flights to the airport seem to be Ryanair. Does anyone know? Many thanks for reading! Bee
