The nativity trail will take visitors on foot through the historic centre. The town council and the Fondazione Erice Arte have invited residents, craftspeople, shopkeepers, schools and local associations to create nativity scenes and open their doors to visitors. The route will depend on who takes part this year.
Christmas markets and cultural events are also planned. The festival dates are confirmed, and the full programme, trail stops and visiting hours have yet to be announced.
Start your walk at Porta Trapani, one of the gates to the old town. Erice’s main church, the Real Duomo, is just inside the gate. From there, follow the streets towards Piazza della Loggia and stop at a pastry shop for a genovese, a traditional local pastry. Leave time for the Balio Gardens and the views from the Castle of Venus. For more ideas, see our guide to things to do in Erice.
When the cable car is running, it takes you from the lower station to the edge of Erice’s old town, a short walk from Porta Trapani. If you plan to stay into the evening, check the Trapani–Erice cable car timetable for your travel date and make a note of the last departure back down to Trapani.
