Is Trapani walkable?

Yes. The old town is flat and compact, so you can walk Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the Cathedral, the fish market, the port, and Torre di Ligny.

To reach Erice, take the Funivia Trapani–Erice cable car; ATM city bus 21 runs to the Funivia stop. Buses also head south toward the salt pans at Nubia. For an easy day out or added comfort, a private tour in Trapani with private transportation is a good option.
