Temple of Segesta

An astonishing set of buildings and ruins including the huge temple and amphitheatre. Coaches run you up to the top, extra cost, where the amphitheatre is but it's worth paying, especially on a hot day. The views are superb and the temple and amphitheatre are breathtaking. The site has toilets and a catering van for drinks and food. Disabled visitors can opt to drive their own cars to the amphitheatre and the temple. Let the workers know as you drive into the car park. Look out for the temple from the main road as you drive in.

So much more to see here than we first thought! The temple is in incredible condition and the theatre and other ruins have also been partially restored which was great. Views from mountain were incredible. Arancini at the catering van delicious. There is a shuttle bus to the theatre that was busy but welcome in the heat. Children are free, all pay a small fee for shuttle bus.

We drove to this place and must say that the journey was incredibly beautiful. We arrived quite late, so we didn't have time to book tickets to see the theater and only paid for entrance. Once there, the building took our breath away! Such an amazing complex that has stood there for so long.

This is a historic site worth visiting! :)

This is a great site, but be sure to pay the €2.50 for the bus up the mountain to the amphitheatre! Walking down is easy and they’re are tonnes of wildflowers in April to enjoy along the way!

Stunning ruins in stunning location well worth the trip
Shuttle bus to the theatre ruins or 25min walk 38°c took the air conditioned bus

The Temple of Segesta is a beautifully well preserved 2500 year old Greek temple.

Very much worth the visit, where you will also get access to the amphitheater.

Restrooms and a cafe available at the site.

Segesta one of the great place to visit in Sicily. Small tips, overall it's smaller then appears 😎😎, secondly take the bus to theater - quite up hill so during sunny day you can tired quickly, especially with kids.

Beautifully located Greek theater and temple. There is extensive work at the site, but that didn't spoil any of the monuments. Catering is minimal. Bus service to the remote theater is excelkent

Great place, the walk is a about 250 metres from the entrance to the temple and 1300 metres to the top, but there us a shuttle every 20-25 minutes. The ticket is 14.50 euros with the bus to the top. The coolest thing is that you can go in the temple and touch the stones .Amazing!

Best preserved temple outside of Greece. The location is a must in itself. You feel transported into a different time!

Incredible place to visit, you can either walk or take the bus for visiting the theater, and a short walk to the temple, surrounding by amazing views

Perfectly proportioned temple with simple and clear architecture located in a stunning landscape in the middle of nowhere. Tranquil and peaceful. There are ruins of an amphitheatre and an antique settlement on a hill nearby which are covered by the entrance fee to the temple and can be reached either on foot (25-30 minutes steep uphill walk) or by a shuttle bus for a few extra €. I recommend the bus. Shuttle bus in winter every 30 minutes. I don't know if the schedule is the same in high season. One needs a car to get there. It's just a few km away from the highway to Trapani. Car park is free of charge. (Must be one of the few parking spots in the whole of Sicily without extra costs 😉)

Visit it now to experience something from another age and another world. The wildfires swept through this area in late July and left the whole area burnt or scorched. The plants are blackened and brittle, the soil is dry and crusted, the air is heavy with the acrid smell of destruction. Yet despite this devastation (it appears even the restaurant did not survive) the temple continues to stand proudly on its plinth, as it has for millenia, a true survivor. The ticket office seemed untouched by the fire, and the staff are friendly and professional and spoke good English. There is a short flight of stairs to reach the temple, but these could be managed by most. It appears there is an access road that could be taken by those with mobility needs. The stairs give you an excellent approach to the temple, bringing you face to face with the main entrance, framed by the mountains beyond. Walk all the way around the temple if you can as the views are spectacular. You can walk within the.temple for even more immersion. The car park is gravelly and unshaded, but is safe and ample. There are a row of vending machines for snacks (although I expect they will reopen the restaurant before long as it did not appear to be badly damaged). I was only charged €5 as there was an event in the theatre. The scale of the temple is truly vast and it is well worth the visit.

Fantastic monument. One of my favorites and certainly a must see! Go early in the day during the summer as it gets very hot. Be there for 9am opening!

This place is off the charts. I love Greek Temples and Theatres in general.

This was an experience that I will not forget.

I walked up the theatre hill. It was an effort. They have a shuttle bus.

Its a remarkable place.

Great hike to see the theater and little walk to the temple. The view is just incredible.

This and the nearby theatre occupy a lovely position with views of the surrounding mountains down to the coast. Surrounded by two deep gorges the lsite is exceptionally well defended.
To get the most from your visit I would recommend a good guide. There are toilets on site but at time of visit no other facilities whatsoever

Karin gave us the most amazing information about the temple & theater. She is an amazing employee who is very proud of this very important archeological site. She represents the park so professionally & is one of the park’s best assets. Without Karin’s information & advice, we would not have enjoyed the park as much. We have been several times & never had learned as much as we did this time. Bravo Zulu to your wonderful employee for making our trip spectacular!

There is more than a temple! Take time to also visit the hilltop to see the super well-preserved theatre and the other old Greek ruins. Learned it the hard way and had to come back the second time. Spectacular views from the mountaintop and from the path up well made up for the second visit.

Also on the weekend there was no admission. During a weekday we paid 8€? But check with the ticket kiosk ahead of time and dont quote me on this. But maybe still helpful for someone who wants to plan their visit.

Great views and buetiful temple. Also the teatre i suggest to go and see. Take the bus or walk to it. It is worth to see. Amazing.
