- On this episode of You, Me and Sicily we take you to Trapani in the Province of Trapani to see some of the main sites. First stop is the port. Trapani 's port historically has always been active with fishing, commerce and travel. Next is the downtown area with plenty of Baroque buildings, palaces, churches and monuments. We highlight some of them. Downtown Trapani is a great place to stroll around, get a granita, shop and marvel at the buildings. Outside the city of Trapani there are salt pans and mills which are still used. Bring a bag and even take some home!

My wife is a Grammatico. Her family moved to the USA around 1900. We wonder if we are related to Maria Grammatico. Beautiful location!!!
Been there 5 times visiting family … as a child/young adult never realized the history of Trapani 🤦🏻♀️ I think I learned more about the city from watching this video. Such a beautiful place and proud to say my family lives there. Many aunts, uncles and cousins ❤️
That makes us so happy! So glad you enjoyed it . What a fantastic city!
We always enjoy wandering around in Trapani before or after catching the ferry to the Egadi islands. It is probably the only big city in Sicily where you can live downtown and still be walking distance to a beautiful beach. Great spot for some busiate con la bottarga di tonno e menta and maybe some fresh ricotta. Last time we were there the gondola up to Erice was closed so we drove up for an amazing sunset.
That drive up is tough!
Gela has a huge and wonderful beach just in the city center, 250 meters from the main square.
Thanks guys Trapani a beautiful Sicilian city with all its history 👍👌
Thank you !
The city is now on my list of favorites !
Another interesting video from You, Me and Sicily! Can't believe your on video # 70 already. Trapani looks beautiful and wish I visited it when I was on the West side of the island.
Next time !
Love to return ! We can take road trip!
Lovely video! I'm researching my husband's genealogy of surname which takes me to where the Abate family settled in Trapani. Now I can't wait to visit! I so NEED to see our other island (Sicily).
Glad you enjoyed it!
♥️♥️♥️ adding to my ever increasing list of places to see! Thank you so much!!
Another beautiful video of Sicily steeped in so much history
Thank you !
A wonderful video showcasing another amazing Sicilian location!!!
Bedda ! Road trip! The salt pans and mills are truly breathtaking !
Wonderful. Thank you very much. Looking forward to visiting Trapani in January.
Great city!
That was a pleasure to watch - thank you!
GRAZIE !
Fantastic city - and really enjoyable was a day trip by train to Marsala, and also a day out by boat to the Aegadi islands of Favignana and Levanzo. Great channel too - very watchable. I've also travelled to Palermo, Cefalu, Taormina, and also Catania (where i took to Circumetnea train around the small villages on the volcano.
Thank you so much Paul! We have videos on all the towns you mentioned on this play list: ua-cam.com/play/PLO3ReNio5TZ6HQ-FvfnueQksJmQTKlaOl.html
A wonderful city! 😉 👍👍👍
I gotta start making a point of spending time in the west! Great video.
@Bernie Sapienza ! So many cool cities in the west ! Also Castellammare del Golfo !
Great episode! Next time on the road that goes by the salt pans bring a bag. They pile salt on the turnout for the locals to just scoop their own salt for free
Good reminder ! I was too busy shooting video that day :)
Beautiful Trapani! I love Nativity scenes, they're a treasure. ✨✨ And the mills... ❤ Great video! 👍
GRAZIE MILLE !
We love having you on the live! Maybe one weekend you can come on video with us :)
Trapani is the closest city to San Vito lo Capo. We have some relatives there still. We were there a long time ago. Great episode and video! 😊❤️
Wow!! so much more to Trapani!! Love the historical perspective.. always some places to add to my next visit!! Love how you continue to share this amazing island! Grazie!!
@Elizabeth Walker Sue so happy you are enjoying it! Its a big pleasure for me to work on these videos !
More to come!
The only architecture s just so amazing.... test of the times how it’s lasted so long....I may not be of Sicilian decent , but I thoroughly enjoy the historical aspect of it...
You are so right ! Withstood the test of time :)
Wow, I had no idea how interesting Trapani is! Thirty years ago, we visited the salt pans and had lunch on Marausu Beach. We then visited Erice on a tour, bypassing the centre of Trapani. The views of the sea below were incredible. Years later, we visited Erice again on our own because the views were so memorable. Thank you for making these delightful videos.
So happy you enjoyed it!!
A n interesting walk, I’m going there next week,where to find a train map of sicily
It all looks beautiful thank you
Have yall done a video on Palermo? Palermo was the main port of Italian ancestors, that came to America in the early 1900's for over about 40 years. Love to see if there any history museum if they have any there of the ports / ships?
@Kenny Dee not yet ! But covering lots of towns outside of the city :)
A beautiful and very informative video on Trapani! I’m planning my trip to Sicily and Trapani & Erice are definitely on my list. Is it ok to visit it in a day from Palermo? Thank you!
CIAO thank you ! Yes do both on separate days!
Here is our video from Erice:

From the moment I stepped foot in Trapani I knew I belonged. GRAZIE MILLE per video !!! Magnifico !!! This video is a wonderful addition to my HeartinSicilia.com site. Dear friends I wish you both much success in the coming year ! I hope to see a series on the nobility and palaces of our Bedda Sicilia !!
So happy you like it ! Was such a pleasure working on it !
Cool video !
@Jennifer Peterson have you been ?
I wonder how touristic Trapani is, since I don´t see many people in the streets on any of the videos Ive seen.
The main city of Trapani is quite charming with lots of see and do. Depends what period of the year you go there sometimes many people others not.
How much to rent a car please. Thank you for all your hard work it’s amazing
Thank you!
Depends what type of a car and where.
Are there tours you can take to the salt flats, or is it just something you drive by, or walk around...or are you even allowed to visit on your own?
YES the ones in Trapani you can go on your own. Bring a zip log and you can take some home.
@@YouMeandSicily how cool!
