Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good but could have been better. For a start, it was too hot when we went (33C); it's probably more enjoyable in less heat. They appear to have moved the car park back so there's a short walk (but hard work in that heat!) to the little cafe and bus stop. What we hadn't realised is that even from there it's a 250m walk - up a steep hill - to the pantheon. We didn't bother; it was too hot. It seemed 95% of visitors thought the same. Instead, everyone piled on the bus to the Amphitheatre. The bus was air-conditioned but packed so still hot and uncomfortable and unfortunately there's still a trek uphill to the ruins. Gorgeous views when you got there but everyone was diving into whatever shade you could find! Then the wait for the bus... There was a shelter but a whole bus load of people trying to cram into the shade... Not great. So... Really it would be a 3.5/4 but go when it's under 25C perhaps 😂 oh, no shop/toilet/drinks at the top.

Another fine stop on your tour of Greek antiquities around Sicily. This park is small and manageable but still worth taking the shuttle bus between the temple and the theatre. Gorgeous views from the theatre out to Castellamare del Golfo and down to the temple.

Just to know. Parking is Not possible near the park. You drive down the park near a bar, 5 euro to park and a Shuttle to the park. No timetable first in. Then 8 euro, 6 euro plus 2 for the Shuttle to the top to the Theater. Many places closed, map and information not possibile to read because old and worn. Why not buy other ones?.
Not really tourist friendly, just a way to delate a really best place with an astonished view from the top ( not the motorway). Good the Temple.

The original parking lot next to the site is only used for workers now. Drive up the road a little and you can park for free in the field . We took the shuttle bus up to the top and saw the theater which is amazing. You can walk down or take the shuttle back. The temple was in pretty good shape. There is a snack bar at the bottom where you can get lunch or drinks. Definitely worth seeing!

When you get to the var park be prepared for a 250 meter hike up hill. Worth it when you do arrive, out of breath i must say. The temple is set out in the classical type, the view is good. Down hill on the way back which can be tricky as the path is loose stones.

This well preserved temple is only a short walk uphill from the parking lot and only an hour drive from the Palermo airport. The Greek theater is amazingly well preserved and impressive. Take the bus to the theater because it is a long, hot walk uphill.

While in Sicily we visited 3 “Greek” temple complexes. This was the smallest, but certainly the most tranquil. Without throngs of other tourists, we were able to appreciate the beauty of the temple and the surrounding countryside.
If you are driving there, please remember on leaving the highway to follow the “Park & Ride” signs to the right, and do not drive up the hill to the temple. The guards will just direct you back down the hill to the parking area. The shop in the parking area the shop has just the best gelato.

Not to be missed- in my opinion the most atmospheric Greek temple in existence.Get there early before the crowds and soak up the grandeur and the solitude.

Firstly, it has to be said that this is one of the great sites of Sicily, remarkable remains in a beautiful setting. But ... you can end up very frustrated by the organisation and cost. You park a little way away from the temple and are charged for that and the shuttle bus to the site. You then pay again to get in, only to find little information to help you understand what you're seeing. It's quite possible to walk to the Greek theatre nearby but if, like us, you aren't as mobile as you used to be there's another bus, which you again get charged for. More frustrating was the fact that there's absolutely no information about when this bus might depart - we wasted a good 30 minutes.
Such a shame, as the site is magnificent and well worth a visit.

Don’t mind the reviews about parking issues. There is a well organised car park with shuttle buses, which cost 5euros for 2 people. (Payment for temple is separate)
The shuttle bus drops you at the base of the short climb up to the temple...
Both at the car park and drop off point there are great shops and cafe areas..
The temple itself is a must see, breathe taking in its size and construction

Hello,
Can you see the temple at Segesta from the road or an overlook? We feel pressed for time.
We are trying to go from a morning excursion in Egadi Islands leaving from Trapani at 13:00 , driving onto Selinunte before it closes at 6 PM (ideally be there by 4:00) and then spending the night in Agrigento. Segesta is on the way between Trapani and Selinunte, so we would like to see it but with the parking, shuttle bus and then walking, I worry we won't have time for that. Recommendations?

Salve, visto che siamo da queste parti volevamo andare a Segesta... leggendo le recensioni però mi sto scoraggiando . Fatemi capire,arrivati in macchina il parcheggio costa 6€...noi siamo in 5 , una famiglia quanto deve spendere?
Written 23 July 2019
Facciamo un po' di conti: il parcheggio dell'auto costa 5 euro, il biglietto d'ingresso per la visita costa 6 euro a persona (per chi ha meno di 18 anni, è gratuito; per chi ha tra 18 e 25 anni, costa 3 euro); la navetta costa 1.50 euro a persona (salire al teatro è impegnativo, è una strada sotto il sole; ho visto qualcuno salire a piedi, io non l'ho fatto). Se non godete di riduzioni per l'acquisto dei biglietti d'ingresso, si tratta di 42.50 euro complessivi. Personalmente, trovo che valga la pena spenderli, ma la mia è una valutazione soggettiva. Leggo tra le recensioni che è possibile trovare parcheggio per l'auto lungo la strada, per risparmiare la spesa del parcheggio privato. Penso che non sia una soluzione praticabile. Posso consigliare di risparmiare sulle spese portando con voi bevande e panini, per non essere costretti ad acquistare anche il pranzo, se l'orario della vostra visita lo comprende. Saluti. L.

How long should we allow to see the Archeologic Park at Segesta? We will be short on time. We are driving from Palermo to Menfi and would like to stop at Monreale, Erice, and Segesta. Does anybody have a sense of whether or not it is realistic to make all of those stops in one day?
Written 25 May 2017
We did Erice and Segesta in the same day, and definitely could've done Monreale as well. Monreale is gorgeous, but as long as you see the cathedral and cloisters, which could take about an hour, you would've seen the important sights.
Erice would definitely take longer, but with the most amount of churches in such a small town, you should choose before hand which ones you want to see, and get to those. Don't get the all-day entry pass, since they all close at different times (for siesta too) and some of them were closed completely for renovations. They don't tell you that when you purchase the ticket. You can pay entry at each church, and the prices range from €2-€10. You really just want to see Il Duomo and then walk around the town to the Giardini del Balio and castle for the views. (I reviewed both).
Segesta is an easy stop, and definitely worth it. The temple is in beautiful condition and so is the theatre at the top of the hill. For €6, take the shuttle up there for quickness. I believe it runs every 30mins.
Have a great time! Wish I was still there!
