Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No railway on the mountain. The cable car rises from the edge of Trapani to Erice Vetta in about 10 minutes; AST buses climb the road when wind stops the cars.
Tickets · Funivia Erice + AST
Up top, Erice is stone lanes, the Venus castle and cloud; it is all walked
Cable car tickets at the Trapani base station; check the wind closures line before planning the day.
Show your ticket at the gates.
On foot
- ·The triangle of walls, the Pepoli castle viewpoints and the pasticceria stops fit a slow half day
- ·Cobbles are polished and slippery in mist, which is frequent; soles with grip matter
Taxis and driving
- ·The mountain road hairpins up if the funivia is closed; parking sits outside the Trapani gate
