Bus
For most destinations, bus is the easiest way to get to and from Agrigento. The intercity bus station is located on Piazza Rosselli, just off Piazza Vittorio Emanuele I, and the ticket booth (with timetables) is in the same piazza. Autoservizi Cuffaro (0922 41 82 31) runs daily buses to Palermo (€7.40, two hours, seven daily Monday to Saturday, two on Sunday). Lumia (0922 2 04 14) has departures to Trapani (€11.10, three hours, three daily Monday to Saturday, one on Sunday) and SAIS (0922 59 52 60) runs buses to Catania (€12.10, three hours, half-hourly).
Car & motorcycle
The SS189 links Agrigento with Palermo, while the SS115 runs along the coast, northwest towards Trapani and southeast to Syracuse. To get to Enna, take the SS640 via Caltanissetta.
Driving in the medieval town is near impossible due to all the pedestrianised streets. There is metered parking at the train station (Piazza Marconi) and Piazza Rosselli.
Train
There are plenty of trains daily to and from Palermo (€7.20, two hours, 11 daily) and Catania (€12.55, 3½ hours, six daily). Although trains serve other destinations as well, you’re better off taking the bus. The train station has left-luggage lockers (€3 per 12 hours).
