The basics

Trapani Birgi (TPS) is a tiny airport with Ryanair routes to Rome, Milan, and some European cities. 15km from Trapani center. Gateway to western Sicily: Erice, Segesta, Marsala, the Egadi Islands, and the stunning Zingaro nature reserve.

Getting to Trapani

AST bus: €4-5, 20-30 min to Trapani center/port. Timed to Ryanair arrivals.

Taxi: €25-30, 15-20 min.

To Palermo

Bus from Trapani to Palermo: €10-12, 2 hours (Segesta Autolinee). Or drive (1.5 hours A29 autostrada). Consider flying INTO Trapani and OUT OF Palermo (or vice versa) to avoid backtracking.

💡 Western Sicily is underrated. Segesta's Greek temple (alone on a hilltop, no crowds), Erice (medieval town in the clouds), Marsala (wine + salt flats), Favignana (crystal-clear island waters). TPS puts you right in the middle of all of it.
