Happy to try the famous place of Erice in gastronomy! Super tasty and super friendly! Genovese super and the liquor ones too... a small place on the local Corso. We opted for a takeaway as the place is small. Strolling with a dolce... mmm

The Funiculare provided us with an excellent way to visit Erice from Trapani w/out having the typical parking problems (there is plenty parking space at the base); the views are amazing. While each cabin seats 8, I would say that 6 fit comfortably; no waiting line at all, it runs for long hours.
5. Matrice Church

Build in the local stone in C14th, the duomo looks quite plain from the outside but it is beautiful inside - it's situated very near to Porta Trapani. The lace-patterned ceiling is most unusual and quite stunning and there is a lovely rose window. You have to pay to enter but you can get a combined ticket that allows you entry to the next-door tower and several other churches which is good value.
6. Chiesa Madre - Duomo di Erice

Reviewed By BrigitteGolightly
Erice is just that kind of town. Nothing takes your breath away but everything exudes such elegance and charm, you just want to let it seep in. Chiesa Madre is another of such example. The exterior takes you back centuries and reminds you of a distant unadorned past. However, step inside and the intricate gothic lacework on the ceiling is a delight to the soul. it is well worth paying 6 euros to do the few key look outs and churches. just walking from one small church to another and counting the stones along the paved lanes is one simple joy in Erice. Watch out for the slippery stones.

No need to actually enter the castle (which closes at 2pm, at least on a Thursday). The garden around offers some fantastic views over the clifftop castle and the surrounding landscape! We drove up in a rental car, beautiful drive indeed!

Not sure it this site it's always open, but I think it is a fabulous view over Erice if the weather is clear. We had rain, so we did not consider going up :(

A stroll through Erice is a pleasant one, specially if you go off season. Explore the alleys and the churches and enjoy this beautiful medieval town. There is a combined ticket that allows you to enter 5 or 6 different sites for 10 eur only.
