Reviews
Lovely place. going up the cable car, I did not expect that there would be a small town, with monuments, cafes, inhabitants and the best Italian specialties - cannoli siciliano and genovese buns. walking through the narrow streets of the city of ERICE you will see many monuments, beautiful tenement houses, chapels and churches. Interestingly, life functions normally there! People live there, go out on terraces, balconies, shops are open, they take out garbage (even when tourists go), there are chotels, Italian language is heard everywhere - like in a fish market and a lot of tourists eager to see this wonderful place. I didn't have so much time, but it's worth going there along the trail for visitors, which is in front of the entrance to the city and the ticket office. the trail leads around and through the city, where you will see the ruins of the castle, towers and other architectural monuments. For MTB and Downhill enthusiasts, I recommend the descent from ERICE to Marsala on a gravel road, which is gentle and you can easily go there on foot! I recommend visiting this place-Erice as well as the center of Marsala, because these are places worth visiting while in Sicily
Visited in September 2023 ,one way ,18 euros for 3 adults expensive I thought. Nice journey down but windows are dirty and seats are old .warning doesn't operate on windy days.
A 10-mi note ride up the mountain from Trapani to Erice, a beautiful ancient town the roots of which go back to 1200 B.C.E. Most of the structures, houses, churches, and a monastery, visible today are from the high to late middle ages. But there is also an old temple area dedicated to Venus, which is, of course, much older.
Maybe the price is little high but for someone who would like to get fast and with beautiful views to Erice I highly recommend. In the beginning of may it was not crowded at all, you can buy tickets and immediately go for a ride. Good things that you can open a windows there so it was not too hot inside.
Obviously if your afraid of heights skip it and drive. But the views are amazing. They do need to clean the windows more often though. Convenient parking for 3 euros
Very nice ride. However whole thing needs better maintenance. Amazing views! Definitely worth visiting!
It’s really long (the ride to Erice from Trapani takes like 25 minutes) and interesting trip with beautiful views to take if you want to visit Erice from Trapani.
However:
- on their Google page it says it starts from 1PM on Monday where in reality it’s 2PM.
- the carts itself are not well ventilated and during sunny day it’s getting really hot in here and it’s hard to breath even when riding as 2 passengers
- the carts interior could be renovated, everything is pretty worn and the view is quite disturbed by scratches plexiglass that covers the whole capsule
It cost 11 euro / person for trip going up and down
Very affordable price and provides for beautiful views of Trapani and the Saline on top of getting you to Erice. If you can get your tickets in advance please do so as there is a separate entry line for tickets holders. If you have to buy your tickets, the line can be long on the weekend.
