How to get there, step by step

1. Arriva a Trapani

L'aeroporto di Trapani-Birgi dista circa 20 km dal porto (30 minuti in auto, bus di linea o taxi). Da Palermo si arriva in circa 1h45 in auto o con i bus diretti per il porto di Trapani. La stazione ferroviaria di Trapani è a 10 minuti a piedi dal molo.

2. Raggiungi il molo giusto

Le partenze sono da Via Ammiraglio Staiti, sul lungomare del porto. Gli aliscafi Liberty Lines partono dal terminal aliscafi; il traghetto Caronte & Tourist (ex Siremar), l'unico che imbarca i veicoli, parte dalla banchina traghetti poco più avanti.

3. Compra o ritira il biglietto

Le biglietterie sono lungo il molo, ma in alta stagione conviene acquistare online il giorno prima. Presentati al gate 20 minuti prima per l'aliscafo, 45-60 minuti prima se imbarchi l'auto.

4. Traversata e arrivo

Con l'aliscafo servono circa 30 minuti, con il traghetto poco più di un'ora. Si sbarca nel porto di Favignana, a due passi da piazza Matrice, dai noleggi bici e dall'ex Stabilimento Florio.

Parking at the port of Trapani and arriving by train

By car: the exit is Trapani centro/porto, then follow the seafront to Via Ammiraglio Staiti, the street overlooked by both the hydrofoil terminal and the ferry dock.
The nearest paid car parks are those along Via Ammiraglio Staiti and in the adjacent streets (Piazza Garibaldi and Villa Margherita area), a 2-5 minute walk from the boarding gates; in July and August they fill up early in the morning.
For stays of several days, an attended or private car park at the port is recommended, with daily rates and in many cases a shuttle service: check prices and availability when booking your ticket.
By train: Trapani station is about 1 km from the pier, a 10-12 minute flat walk along Via Ammiraglio Staiti; with heavy luggage, a taxi takes just a few minutes.
By bus: buses from Palermo and Trapani-Birgi airport stop at the port bus terminal, just a few steps from the ticket offices.

Cars, motorbikes and luggage

Only the Caronte & Tourist ferry (formerly Siremar) embarks cars, motorbikes and campervans: hydrofoils carry passengers exclusively.
From June 1st to September 30th, vehicle access for non-residents in Favignana is prohibited: leave your car in the attended car parks at the port of Trapani.
On the island, everything is reachable by bike or scooter: rental shops are just a few metres from the arrival pier.
Hand luggage is included; for accompanying bikes and pets, the rules and surcharges of individual companies apply.

Practical tips

In high season, arrive at the pier in advance: the Trapani seafront is busy and parking spaces fill up quickly.
In rough seas or strong north-westerly winds, hydrofoil trips may be cancelled: the ferry handles the waves better.
If you are returning on the same day, book your return trip together with your outbound journey and check the last evening run.
Check the marine weather before leaving: on this page you will find the link to the updated forecast.
