How to get to the Valley of the Temples from the Agrigento/bus train station

• City buses 1, 1/, 2, 2/, 3, and 3/ all run from the center of Agrigento down to the Valle dei Templi in 8 minutes. You can buy a bus ticket at any newsstand (tickets bought on board cost a bit more).
  
  The first stop after leaving the station—about a six-minute ride—is the Museo Archeologico (and Insula Romana).
  
  The second stop—another two minutes—at Punta di Ristoro/Templi is at the cafe and ticket office for the Valley of the Temples.
  

• A taxi trip from town down to the temples should run about €15.
  
  Taxis congregate outside the train station and the leafy Piazzale Aldo Moro park just to the north of the station. You can also order a cab by calling tel. +39-0922-26-670 or +39-0922-21-899.

• You can walk from the city down to the temples, but it will be a dull half-hour trudge with little to no shade from the brutal Siclian sun.
