WHERE TO PARK IN TRAPANI: COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE CITY CENTER, PORT, AND AIRPORT

If you´re planning a vacation in Trapani and traveling by car, knowing where to park can make the difference between a relaxing day and a stressful one. In this updated 2025 guide, we help you find the ideal parking spot in Trapani, whether you´re visiting the historic center, heading to the Egadi Islands from the port, or landing at Birgi airport.

Parking in Trapani´s historic center

Watch out for the ZTL

The historic center of Trapani is subject to limited traffic zones (ZTL) active during the summer months and at specific times. Avoid fines by checking the signs at the main entrances, especially on Via Torrearsa and Corso Vittorio Emanuele.

Where to park near the center

Here are some practical options: 

• Piazza Vittorio Emanuele: large paid parking lot, perfect for reaching the center on foot. (open on Google Maps) 
• Via Ilio: often used by commuters, partially free and well connected by shuttle buses during the summer. (open on Google Maps) 
• Virgilio Parking: ideal if you´re staying around Via Fardella, it´s free and just 2 minutes from Trapani´s main shopping street. (open on Google Maps)

Parking at the port of Trapani (for the Egadi Islands)

If you´re planning to take a hydrofoil to Favignana, Levanzo, or Marettimo, it´s important to know where to safely leave your car. In theory, the parking lots listed above are already a good option since they´re not too far from the port and boarding docks. However, there are a few other alternatives worth considering.

Secured parking near the port

Some of the most reliable options:

• ATM Multi-storey Parking: Managed by the Municipality of Trapani, offers daily parking at affordable rates. (open on Google Maps)
• Private garages on Via Ammiraglio Staiti, often require booking in advance.

Be sure to arrive early in summer months to avoid stress. Lines at the docks can be long and you might lose more time than expected. For this reason, we recommend booking your Egadi Islands tickets in advance.
