Store your luggage around Trapani with Bounce

Italy is one of the world's most visited destinations, but as a general rule, the further south you go, the fewer tourists make it to the bottom of the boot. Trapani, located on the west coast of the island of Sicily, is almost as south as Italy gets. As a result, while it gets a decent amount of tourism, it gets nowhere near the numbers of places like Venice, Rome, or even neighboring Palermo.

That's a shame because Trapani really has a lot to offer. Rich and ancient history, abundant sunshine, glorious coastal scenery, and cheaper prices for most items than you'll find in the rest of Italy all conspire to make this a great place to visit for those intrepid enough to get there. And with abundant luggage storage facilities spread throughout the city, there's always a convenient place to store luggage so you can focus on enjoying your trip.

What makes Trapani worth a visit? That's what we're here to find out. Read on to discover how to enjoy Trapani.

No matter where you go in the world, you'll always have a better time if you're not carrying more than you need to. Bounce makes this easy by partnering with local businesses to provide luggage storage in Trapani and in hundreds of other cities around the world. Our luggage lockers and left luggage facilities make it easy to drop off and pick up your unneeded baggage, whether for a few hours or for days at a time. Use our luggage storage spots to store your bags so you can experience everything Trapani has to offer.

With a population of 70,000, it wouldn't be fair to expect Trapani to have as many things to do as a major city. Once you've left your bags behind at a luggage storage in Trapani, you may be surprised to find that this ancient city, founded around 2,500 years ago, has more to do than you might think.

Once you know just how ancient the city is, it probably won't come as a surprise to hear that it's home to some wonderful museums. Leave the bags behind at a convenient luggage storage and investigate some of these fascinating cultural institutions.

Agostino Pepoli Regional Museum: Located in a 14th-century Carmelite convent, this regional museum takes you on a journey back in time to learn more about the history of this area. The museum takes an eclectic approach to its collections, housing archaeological artifacts, religious art, paintings, tapestry, and all sorts of other treasures found in and around the city. Visit on the first Sunday of the month, if possible, when the museum offers free admission.

Museo Civico Torre di Ligny: This museum is small, but it's still worth visiting, if only for the setting alone. Located in a 17th-century stone watchtower right in the city's harbor, it's a fascinating place to explore. In these tight quarters, you won't want heavy bags with you, so leave them behind at the most convenient luggage storage Trapani has to offer before you examine the priceless artifacts here.

The Museum of Illusions: Trapani is an undeniably historic city, but if history isn't your thing, or you just want a bit of a change, check out this unique museum. The interactive exhibits here immerse you in optical illusions, and taking photos is very much encouraged. You'll be able to spice up your social media feeds with exhibits to make you look tiny, huge, and everything in between.

Trapani isn't Milan, so you shouldn't expect to find high-end designer goods here. What you will find instead is authentic Sicilian handicrafts, often at very low prices. And if you buy too much, there's always a luggage storage in Trapani where you can store your purchases and make room for some more.

Colomba: Absolutely don't miss this varied and beautiful shop right near Trapani's hydrofoil port. Colomba adds a creative and artistic spin to traditional Sicilian souvenirs so you can go home with something unique. You'll find everything from sculpture and ceramics to designer clothes and shoes, all created by the unique artistic vision of this Trapani resident.

L’artigianato di Dorotea Ceramica: Colorful ceramics are one of the most iconic products of this region, and there aren't many better places to buy them than this tiny shop. You'll find everything here is locally made, and the shopkeepers are happy to help you pick out a special piece to bring home with you. Just remember to take advantage of luggage storage in Trapani before you go, as one wrong turn with a big bag in the store could be disastrous.

Thursday morning market: More of a cultural experience than anything else, Trapani's Thursday morning market is where locals come to get their produce, and it's a lively and bustling place no matter when you visit. Soak up the atmosphere and, if you have accommodation that lets you cook, pick up some produce to bring home and try your hand at making classic Sicilian meals.

Italian food is highly regional, and Sicily's food is different from what you'll find anywhere else in the country. The cuisine of Trapani focuses on fresh local ingredients, including fish from the nearby sea and meat and vegetables from the surrounding hills, so almost anywhere you go in this town, you'll find something truly exceptional to eat.

Osteria Ossuna: If your visions of dining in Sicily involve outdoor tables with a sweeping view of the glittering ocean, you were thinking of Ossuna, whether you knew it or not. Dine on startlingly fresh seafood with a view of the ocean it was caught in, and you'll be enjoying la dolce vita, Sicilian style.

BBQ Steakhouse: This popular restaurant spills out onto the sidewalk outside, and the tables being so close together is just part of the fun. This is the best place in Trapani to come if you're hungry for red meat, and you certainly won't leave hungry.

La Pentolaccia: Housed in a 17th-century monastery, the setting here is almost as spectacular as the food. Almost. Think fresh fish, homemade pasta, and traditional Sicilian delicacies, all made with serious attention to detail.

Trapani may be small, but that doesn't mean it lacks things to do. And it's the ideal place to visit on a wider Sicily trip. As you travel Italy, make sure to use our luggage storage facilities in Rome, Verbania, and Bolgheri to make your trip easier.

Luggage storage in Trapani

While Sicily is world-famous for its gorgeous natural beauty and distinctive culture, most travelers (even those who visit  Rome and Florence) never make their way to the island. While Palermo gets the headlines, visiting Trapani and Erice offers a delightful blend of coastal beauty, cultural richness, and historical charm. Trapani is situated on the western tip of Sicily and lures travelers in with its picturesque harbor, bustling markets, and charming old town. Anyone with a taste for fresh seafood will have their work cut out for them, with so many unbelievable waterfront restaurants and hole-in-the-wall cantinas. History buffs will scramble to admire architectural gems like the Cattedrale di San Lorenzo.

For true adventurers, a short cable car ride takes you to Erice, perched on a hill above Trapani. Erice is an enchanting mountain-top village famous for its medieval buildings, ancient walls, and panoramic views of Trapani and the coastline. The Venus Castle is the most famous landmark to hit, but plenty of visitors will just want to explore the winding cobbled streets and relax in its tranquil park. The location of the town requires a bit of maneuvering, so it's best to leave heavy bags and belongings in Trapani before ascending up to Erice. Luckily, the city has plenty of luggage storage services like Bounce. 

Here’s everything you need to know about luggage storage in Erice: 

The hilltop town of Erice is perched majestically on Mount Erice. This medieval gem's cobblestone streets and ancient walls will make visitors feel like they stepped out of a time machine. The breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape are also a sight to behold. The town's strategic location offers a vantage point to admire the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Egadi Islands, and the nearby city of Trapani. Erice boasts a fascinating historical and cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient Elymian civilization, visit the impressive Venus Castle, and discover the charming churches that showcase exquisite artwork and religious artifacts.

Most travelers make it to Erice via cable car while they’re staying in Trapani. While there are limited hotel rooms in Erice, booking a room in the larger Trapani is better (where the best restaurants are located) before heading to Erice on a day trip. If you’re staying in Erice, there’s a chance you can leave bags at your hotel’s front desk before check-in, and you'll want to go exploring. If they're truly on the go, hotel guests will want to look into a luggage storage service like Bounce, where you can find a secure storage location and book online. 

Castello di Venere (Castle of Venus) luggage storage 

This commanding Norman castle is the most popular landmark in Erice. The site dates back to the 12th century, and the tower offers panoramic views of Erice and the surrounding landscape, including the coastline and the Egadi Islands.

Chiesa Madre (Mother Church) luggage storage 

The main church of Erice is an architectural gem that combines Gothic and Norman architectural styles. The church’s intricate façade, beautiful rose windows, and stunning interior are superb examples of these styles. For religious travelers, mass is held every day of the week. 

Giardino del Balio (Balio Garden) luggage storage 

This peaceful garden is located in the shadows of the Castello di Venere, where visitors can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, lush greenery, and charming pathways lined with colorful flowers.

The Pepoli Museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts, including ancient pottery, sculptures, and medieval artifacts, which tell the story of Erice's archaeological and historical heritage. 

Torretta Pepoli (Pepoli Tower) luggage storage 

This medieval tower is located near the Pepoli Museum and offers panoramic views of Erice's rooftops, the surrounding countryside, and the coastline.

Travelers will want to explore the narrow cobblestoned streets of Erice’s city center for hours.  Each square and street is lined with well-preserved medieval buildings and charming shops. 

Most international travelers reach Erice by either flying into Trapani's Vincenzo Florio Airport or flying into Palermo’s Falcone-Borsellino Airport before traveling via ground transportation. From there, it’s a short cable car ride up to Erice. 

Once you’re there, Erice's historic city center is best explored on foot. Most attractions will be within a few minutes of the cable car.

Trapani has a reliable network of buses that connect various parts of the city and nearby attractions. Erice is too compact (and remote) for a true bus network, but it’s easy enough to explore on foot. 

Renting a car provides flexibility to explore the surrounding areas. Trapani and Erice have car rental agencies, but most travelers rent a car at the airport to travel around Sicily on four wheels. 

Taxis and Ubers are available in both Trapani and Erice, providing a convenient option for short trips. This is a great option if you’re traveling with your bags, but the price of a cab will be the most expensive transport option. 

This is the most fun option for jetting around both Trapani and Erice. There are plenty of bike rental companies in each city, and cycling is a great way to enjoy Trapani’s seafront promenade and the city center of Erice. 

The best day trip destination in the area is Favignana. Travelers with a car or an open day should consider taking a day trip to the beautiful island of Favignana, which is part of the Egadi archipelago off the coast near Trapani and Erice. Visitors can enjoy its pristine beaches, snorkel or swim, and indulge in some of the best seafood in Sicily. Another solid day trip is just up the coast in San Vito lo Capo.

Don’t miss the sunset! Trapani and Erice are both famous for breathtaking sunsets. Take an evening walk along Trapani’s seafront promenade or Erice’s main square for a romantic sunset stroll that shouldn't be missed.

Enjoy the cable car ride! While there are other ways of reaching Erice, the scenic cable car ride from Trapani offers magnificent panoramic views of the coastline, Trapani, and the surrounding landscape.

Erice is located in one of the coolest locations imaginable, which makes its scenic streets all the more attractive as a travel destination. There’s a little something for everyone here, especially history and art enthusiasts. But if you’re looking for some adventure, the cable car ride and epic views take the cake. Because of their proximity, visiting Trapani and Erice is a package deal, so don't get weighed down by heavy luggage. With convenient luggage storage in Erice itself as well as in convenient places like Palermo Airport, Catania Centrale, and Catania Airport, you'll never have to carry more than you need to.
