    Beautiful area to take a walk and also admire the view of the Sicilian countryside and Trapani, the major city that is located on the coast. There are things for everyone. A small cafe to eat, and a playground for kids, and there are also multiple benches to take a sit. A must if you are coming to Erice.

    Nicest place in Erice to relax on a hot day. Breathtaking views of Monte Cofano, Valderice and Saline.

    There are so many different views from this park and the castles! You can walk around to different viewpoints and enjoy the scenery or visit the castle as well, the price was around 8€.

    Very beautiful place in total. I haven't been inside, but from the outside it's amazing. You can come here by bus or with the special air ferry. The tickets were 10 EU up and down. And it works till 20 I think. Different days different timing.

    The views on the top at Erice are breathtaking! A must visit place.

  • 5/5 sulin l. 9 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous gardens at the edge of the old town with spectacular views. Everyone naturally heads for the castle structures but look for the little steps and winding terraces on either side of the main castle and you’ll be rewarded by million dollar 180 degree views of both Trapani and the countryside. There’s also a cute cafe with an elevated terrace to sip coffee while indulging your Game of Thrones fantasies

    Amazing area to walk around with a backdrop of magnificent views. Lots of benches and areas to relax and just enjoy the scenery. Amazing little town with lots of amazing architecture such as the castle built overhanging the side of the cliff.

    Quaint little garden in the heart of Erice. Not quite sure how I stumbled across it but it was nice to see. The view over the rooftops of Erice was great to see. It was very peaceful here too, with the water fountains and quiet! It's not too far away from the old Norman castle too.

    Beautiful garden with great views. It was a cloudy day and we could see the clouds pushed by the wind.

  • 5/5 Ondřej N. 4 years ago on Google
    Must-see in Erice, since this much green you will not see elsewhere in Erice (which is mostly stone). Great place to rest and soak up the atmosphere.

    Absolutely beautiful view and nice peaceful gardens.

  • 5/5 Yury S. 5 years ago on Google
    A high mountain botanic garden by an ancient castle. Absolutely stunning views on South and east, amazingly romantic place for two.

  • 5/5 J Van W. 4 years ago on Google
    A very rewarding vista greets you at the top of Mount Erice. Do yourself a favor and visit.

  • 5/5 Michał J. 2 years ago on Google
    Small garden giving a lot of shade and allowing rest after climbing through Erice to the city end. Along with many benches and trees, you can find small playground for kids.

  • 5/5 Art M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool open area. After walking around, it’s a nice place to get some Shade, rest, and cool off!

👍👍 Erice is surprising, it is far and hard to find, it's outside the Sicily you get used to love on your trip. At times it seems not to be there, but somewhere else in Europe. It is neat, clean, perfect, ancient... in short, a tile is not missing... and this is one of the most beautiful things: the per...

👍👍 Amazing gothic ceiling in this church. Nice view from the bells tower. I will say it’s the only two landmarks worth visiting, but for one euro more, you can buy the fulltour for 6 euros and can visit 3 others.
