CAR & MOTORCYCLE
The SS189 links Agrigento with Palermo, while the SS115 runs along the coast, northwest
towards Trapani and southeast to Syracuse.
Driving in the medieval town is near impossible due to all the pedestrianised streets.
There's metered parking at the train station and free parking along Via Esseneto just be-
low.
TRAIN
From Agrigento Centrale station (Piazza Marconi), direct trains run regularly to Palermo
(€8.30, 2¼ hours, seven to 10 daily). Service to Catania (€10.40 to €14.50, four hours) is
less frequent and usually requires a change of trains. For other destinations, you're better
off taking the bus.
