By bus Everywhere in Enna itself can be reached very easily on foot, though local
buses run out to places like Pergusa, Calascibetta and the train station – you’ll need to
buy a ticket (valid for 1hr) in advance from tabacchi.

By taxi Ranks can be found along Viale Diaz, near the bus terminal, and at Piazza
Vittorio Emanuele; alternatively, call 0935 500 905.
