GETTING AROUND
By bus Everything in the old town is easily reachable on foot, though you’ll need to
catch a city bus to visit Trapani’s museum, in the new part of the city: most routes
depart from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. Tickets are available from tabacchi, and are
valid for one hour.
By taxi During the day, taxis usually wait outside the train station – just make sure
they switch on the meter, or you could be in for a surprise. If you need to call a taxi,
try 0923 30 0051, 337 896 010 or 368 734 0893 (24hr).
