    Beautifull historical centre of old town. Place for walking, eating and shopping. One from the best in Sicilia. From many streets is visible Erice mountain with old castle - this place should be on all visitors maps.

    Magic place! Must visit, though there is a lot of waiting for the cableway, so it's better to book through an agent, then you go through a quick corridor..

    Erice was something unique! The castle was literally into a cloud creating a great atmosphere. I had a fantastic panini there and some great sweets. Fantastic

    Beautiful entrance to Erice. Spent a great day there. Be warned it is much colder than Trapani and it gets pretty windy up there.

    You can take your time and stroll along those tiny and cute alleys. We just had 3 hours, which we found not enough to enjoy the beauty of this place. 100% recommendation.

    Erice is such a beautiful town. Perched high on the mountain. Cable car up to it is spectacular. A must visit part of Sicily.

    Erice is a beautiful place to visit. The beautiful hill covered by spring flowers and nearby sea-shore are amazing. Porta Trapani is an important place in Erice. The way to this place is made of old stone with beautiful arches/entrances.

    This place is beautiful and the trip up to the town is absolutely stunning.

    Trapani has the potential to be a beautiful seaside town tourist spot. Unfortunately due to the filthy beaches full of garbage and cigarette buts and the streets of rubbish (collecting around bins and simply tossed to the ground) we spent our two days driving to beaches and town further along the coast.

    I would not put it on top of other places in Erice, where each house, each street is an amazing piece of history hidden high in the clouds.

    Main gate to Erice. Relatively well maintained. Before the Porta there is car parking space. The nearby public toilet facity has a 1 euro per person charge, collected buy the local guy etc...

    Must see when visiting Tampani. The tower has a really nice view. Best to visit at sunset. Really great golden hour. Stunning views (see my picture). Bring your camera. Absolutely great shots.

    If you visit Trapani, you gotta go up the Cable Car..... wonderful views and visit the hilltop village of Erice

    Should be visited in the warm weather months but still the view is beautiful!
  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
