Trapani is the city of salt, couscous and churches. An ideal starting point for exploring western Sicily, Trapani sits on a crescent-shaped stretch of coast, right where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets the Mediterranean.

Trapani offers visitors brilliant glimpses of history, ancient traditions and a perfect cuisine for sea-food lovers. Phoenicians, Romans and Normans have left their traces in the town planning, monuments and habits of the local people, industrious traders and fishermen.
