Je prépare déjà mon voyage pour avril/mai 2008 en Sicile. La durée n'est pas encore vraiment définitive mais ce sera entre 8 et 10 jours. Je sais que c'est court pour cette île si grande, du coup, j'essaie d'établir le meilleur itinéraire.
Nous partons en routard : bus et train donc. Ce n'est pas l'idéal mais j'aime cette façon de voyager en Italie. Et puis, cela reviendra moins cher que de louer une voiture et donc de voyager ailleurs cet été !
Pour les visites, nous hésitons entre Trapani et Cefalu. Nous hésitons aussi sur la visite de Sélimonte ou de Segeste.
Nous n'aurons pas le temps de faire les 4 visites. Ce sera donc Trapani ou Cefalu ET Segeste ou Selimonte.
Celles et ceux qui connaissent ces endroits, lesquels nous conseillerez vous de visiter ? Pourquoi ?
Cefalu est beaucoup plus touristique que Trapani, elle également plus agréable a visiter ( trapani est surtout bon point de chute pour visiter les environs).
Segeste est bien mieux conservé que Sélimonte ( et peu se visiter + facilement de Palerme ou de trapni )
Tout à fait d'accord avec Jeanlejeune. Segeste est un petit bijou, à ne pas rater à mon avis. Ca a beaucoup brulé autour de Cefalu cet été, mais la ville en elle-même a beaucoup de charme donc vous n'y perdrez rien. Elle est bien mieux située que Trapani pour un tour de la Sicile. Bon voyage !
Merci pour cette réponse. Ce sera donc Cefalu en A/R sur la journée (ou 1/2 journée) depuis Palerme.
Pour Segeste, penses tu que nous puissions aussi faire l'A/R dans la journée ?
Si vous le pouvez, essayez de faire de Cefalu une étape sur 1 trajet entre Catane (ou Taormina, encore mieux) et Palerme: d'une part, la route est assez encombrée entre Palerme et Cefalu et même en 1 journée A/R, ca fera longuet. D'autre part, comme presque toutes les agglomérations en Sicile, Cefalu est "morte" entre 13h30 et 17h30 -à part les touristes. C'est en revanche très animé (et joliment éclairé) le soir.
bon je suis né et j ai vecu jusqu à il y a qqs années en Sicile, donc je crois que je peux te donner pas mal de conseils:
1) tu as tres peu de temps et veux visiter le maximum de choses: helas, en sicile cela est incompatible avec le voyage en routard! Malheureusement bus et surtout les trains ne sont pas au top la-bas, alors je me permets de te suggerer de reconsiderer la possibilité de louer une voiture (ce ne sera pas tres tres cher).
2) si tu veux visiter la cote est et celle ouest de la sicile, alors je te conseille de prendre un vol à destination de Palerme à l'aller et de repartir de Catane, ou vice versa, ce qui est permis par chacune des trois compagnies qui offrent des vols directs vers la sicile (meridiana, windjet et transavia)
3) essaye de bein definir ce que tu veux visitier: petits villages ou villes, monuments historiques ou eglises baroques ou temples grecs, c'est vrai qu en Sicile tu peux trouver de tout, mais il faut choisir selon ses gouts sans oublier qu'il y a de fortes chances que tu pourras profiter (plus en mai qu en avril) des plages magnifiques!
Cela dit, je pense que tu pourras facilement faire cefalu parce que c'est pas loin de Palerme et au moins ca en train est tres faisable car cefalu est tres bien desservi. C'est vrai c est tres touristiques mais tu n y vas pas en juillet donc rien a craindre. le centre ville est tres mignon, le dome est imperdible et on y mange vraiment bien, une demie journee pourrait suffir.
Pour Segesta, il faut pas compter bcp de temps, quelques heures vont suffir, en plus ca se trouve au milieu de l autoroute entre palerme et trapani, donc c'est facilement joignable. Apres Segesta, continue vers Trapani plutot que Selinunte ou il y a un parc archeologique qui est super bien conserve, mais si tu vas a Segeste tu auras deja eu ta dose de temples et theatres. Par contre, Trapani en soi, n a pas grande chose à voir à part quelques edifices du centre et les salines, c'est à dire que la ville ne merite pas une tres longue visite donc je te conseille de visiter plutot Erice, une ville medievale qui se trouve au sommet d une montagne a cote de Trapani. deja la montee est spectaculaire mais quand tu arriveras la haut, tu auras une vue de trapani, de ses salines et surtout des iles qui sont juste en face, le coucher de soleil est imperdible tout comme les patisseries de erice a base de pate d amande.
Quoi dire de plus? en 8 jours, si tu peux ne rate pas la vallee des temples de agrigento, si tu peux faire aussi la cote est n oublie pas Taormine, Syracuse et surtout l etna. Si tu veux un peu de plage va a Mondello ou Capogallo a cote de Palerme, ou bien a San Vito Lo Capo, entre Palerme et Trapani.
Et enfin, pense deja à retourner en Sicile l annee d'apres parce que une seule visite, comme tu le sais deja ne suffira pas
Nous avons effectué le tour de la sicile en 18 jours, loc de petite voiture et petits hotels ...il y a 2 tours que tu peux effectuer en 10 jours sans courir !
TOUR 1: ce n'est pas le plus impressionnant mais il permet de voir de beaux sites, des plages magnifiques et l'interieur des terres.
J1 palerme
J2 segeste puis Erice (magnifique promontoire)
J3 san vito lo capo (magique), trapani (rien à voir), marsala (pas terrible mais tu peux dormir là)
J4 selinonte (grandiose (cette cité plongeant sur la mer devait être impressionnante) puis Agrigente (le plus beau site archeo de sicile)
J5 caltanissetta, Enna ( à l'interieur des terre très beau)
J6 ensuite retour sur Palerme via cefalu ...
J7 palerme et environs
J8 retour
Tour 2: c'est mon preferé
J1 Palerme
J2 palerme - cefalu puis Millazzo (depart des bateaux pour les eoliennes à ne pas manquer)
J3 Iles eoliennes (attention reserver en arrivant la veille)
J4 route jusqu'à Taormina (eviter Messine ) le plus beaux c'est de couper par Novara di sicilia (la Sicile profonde et rude ...grandiose)
J5 Etna
J6 Syracuse
J7 Piazza armerina (la villa casale est très interessante à visiter mais toute cette protection de verre sur les mosaïque rend le decor très artificiel) à faire si tu as le temps. et ensuite rentrer à palerme via Enna ...
J8 Palerme ou tu peux rester 1 journée de plus pour profiter des alentour Monreale, les plages ou pourquoi pas une excursion d'une journée vers Segeste ou Erice)
J9 retour
🙂 Bonjour, je pense partir avec des amies en Sicile débutjuin 2008 et attérir par Ryanair vers Trapani.
J'ai lu que la ville ne valait pas le coup mais ou pourrait -on loger pas trés loin dans un coin sympa en bord de mer?
Si tu as une idée ou si tu connais un hotel bien merci de me renseigner.
Le meilleur endroit pour partir faire des visites en routard est de loger près de Palerme.
J'avais choisi Mazara del Vallo et c'était très mal situé pour voyager en train et bus. Beaucoup de perte de temps et ne pouvions aller à beaucoup d'endroit.
Nous avons fait des transferts à Trapani et je n'y serais pas resté.
Je suis allée à Castellamare del Golfo sur le bord de la mer près de Palerme et j'ai bien aimé.
J'ai adoré Erice et bien aimé Segesta.
J'ai voyagé de Mazara del Vallo en bus et en train. Si c'était à recommencer je logerais près de Palerme.
J'y suis allée le 18 septembre et la plage de l'hôtel à Mazara était fermée. L'eau était glaciale. À Castellamare l'eau était beaucoup plus chaude.
Nine
Trapani serait même plutôt moche ...hormis le côté proche de l'eau, pas vraiment d'interet...
Tu peux aller loger à castellamare (au nord-Est), il y a des plages, et c'est un bon camp de base pour voir Erice, san vito lo capo, Segeste et Monreale, Palerme et même au sud la superbe Selinonte.
Je n'ai pas dormi dans cette zone, j'etais basé à marsala lorsque j'ai visité ce coin de la Sicile, je n'ai donc pas d'adresse à castellamare..bon sejour
Bonjour,
je souhaite aller en sicile l'été prochain, nous adorons les criques et regarder les poissons avec notre masque et tubas.
J'atterri à Palerme et je ne sais pas où loger pour trouver des endroits où la mer et calme pour faire du masque et tuba. Mon mari a des problèmes de dos donc nous ne souhaitons pas faire 3 de routes tous les jours.
Bref je cherche un endroit ou il y a un maximum de petite plage sympa (je pense plutôt visiter l'ouest de l'ile).
Merci pour votre aide.

Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Amazing trip in May 2026: fantastic landscapes, such a different vibe from our other journeys, wonderful memories, but...
- Discovering the population: very few "native" Icelanders,
and exceptional discretion from the police, who were notably absent from the white vehicle stopped by the roadside that caught us speeding in mid-May...
To this day, only our inquiry with the car rental company has informed us of a "speeding ticket" message. More than a month later, we still don’t know the "severity" of the offense or the amount of the fine we’ll be "hit with."
Well, well, a taste of Icelandic administrative experience...
I’ve found some great deals on flights to two destinations: Menorca in the Balearic Islands and Alghero in Sardinia.
The flights would take us from Bordeaux to Menorca on the evening of 9/07 and return to Bordeaux in the evening on 13/07.
Or to Alghero very early on 10/07 (departure at 6 AM) and return in the mid-afternoon on 13/07.
We love beautiful landscapes, the sea, snorkeling, walks (hiking), and the charm of villages.
We want to spend some quality time as a couple without our kids and mix discovery with relaxation.
I can’t make up my mind. The transport costs are roughly the same when you factor in parking for Sardinia since the early departure means no public transport from home.
We’ve never been to Menorca, Sardinia, or Italy at all. I’ve been to Majorca, though.
Menorca would be 4 nights and 4 days, while Alghero would be 3 nights and 2.5 days.
Also, what itinerary would you recommend for Alghero and Menorca?
Where to stay?
Thank you so much for your insightful traveler tips.
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there,
I’m looking for some great tips for a stay in Palma de Mallorca this summer.
I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
I’d love to get your thoughts on the following itinerary (late May). I like to take my time in ruins and museums, and beaches don’t interest me. I’ll be staying in hostels and using public transport. Do you see any major omissions or things that aren’t worth it?
Thanks!

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?
Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any works in progress at Torcello, and if so, what type of works and how long they’re expected to last?
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I’m sharing my draft itinerary with you because I just booked our flight tickets, and I feel like it’s quite late in the season. So, I’d like to be sure about my stops before reserving the hotels. I’ll be traveling alone with my two adult children. We want to prioritize outdoor walks, avoid too many indoor visits (both for budget and preference), and not spend too much time on the road.
D1: Arrival at 9 AM in Malaga, day in Malaga and overnight stay
D2: Head straight to Nerja (1-hour drive) and spend the night there
D3: Head straight to Granada (1.5-hour drive), spend the day and night there
D4: Granada. Visit the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces tour at 5 PM) and spend the night
D5: Head to Ronda (2.5-hour drive) and spend the night
D6: White Villages and overnight in Ronda
D7: Head straight to the Costa del Sol (e.g., Estepona), spend the day and night there
D8: Return to Malaga to catch our flight
There you go! This itinerary takes into account that we’d like to do a circuit starting from Seville in a few years. That said, it’d be a shame to miss something doable from Malaga.
Questions:
Since the Alhambra visit is only at 5 PM, and we’d already have the day to explore Granada, would arriving the day before be a mistake? Or should we skip this day and dedicate it elsewhere (Costa del Sol? Head toward Tabernas?)? The old town appeals to me, but maybe the Sacromonte neighborhood isn’t essential...
Same question for Ronda: should we dedicate a full day to it, or combine Ronda and the White Villages in one day?
Note that we love wandering around villages outside, so that might answer my question! :)
Final question: Is it better to rent the car at Malaga Airport or in the city? If we rent at the airport, we’d need a hotel with parking, which doesn’t seem easy. Or stay outside the city and park for free near the center if possible? I’ve read comments about taking a taxi to Malaga and then picking up the rental car at the airport the next morning. The taxi would really need to be affordable...
Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions for visits during this little circuit.
Have a great day, everyone!

Hello,
we’re a couple planning a 2-week road trip this August, with a must-stop (about 3 days on Skye). Any route suggestions? Hotel recommendations? Photo spots?
My husband and I are planning a trip to Ireland in September 2026.
We’ll be flying from Montreal to London, where we’ll spend three nights.
After that, we’ll head to Dublin for a few days and take trains to visit the main attractions.
Our ideal plan would be to choose hotels near train stations and take tours to the interesting spots.
Would 8 days in Ireland be enough for this kind of trip?
We’re a group of 4 heading out at the end of June for 11 days.
I’m just starting my research.
We’ll be renting a regular car, not a 4x4.
I’m not finding a ton of info on the North.
Would love your take on all those kilometers—is there a route that lets us cut out a section?
Thanks
