City in Italy
Trapani
3 things to see
Western Sicily’s salt-flat city stretches into the sea on a narrow peninsula, with cheap hydrofoils running to the car-free Egadi Islands and a September couscous festival reflecting centuries of North African exchange. Budget flights land at the nearby Birgi airport, and the historic center delivers Sicilian seafood and street food without Palermo’s markup. Wandering the narrow old town and the seafront promenade at sunset costs nothing, and the salt pans just south of the city are free to walk past. Spring and early autumn bring warm weather and lower prices than the August peak.
