Trieste Travel Forum

We are four Canadian seniors that will be taking a cruise leaving from Trieste on September 17th. We land in Venice and will be spending a few days there before going to Trieste. A couple of questions for which we can't find an answer - Is a train the only means of transportation between Venice and Trieste or are there boats/ships that make that journey? Are there a lot of docks in Trieste as we can't find a number for the dock from which the ship leaves? We will be flying back to Canada through Germany and will be leaving from Trieste. We were wondering if the airport is far from the docks as we have a limited time to make the flight from the time the ship docks.Your help would be greatly appreciated. You can e-mail me at anmartin1@rogers.com Thank you and we look forward to our visit very much.

Hi, I am able to answer some of your questions but not having been to Trieste I do not know the geographical positions of the docks and airport.
1/To the best of my knowledge, there is no ferry service between Venice and Trieste.
2/There is a bus service which operates 4 times a day(twice in AM, twice in PM)
This service runs from Piazzale Roma(Venice) directly to Trieste -the distance is 159 kms.
3/You can take a train from St.Lucia Station but change at Mestre for Trieste
The journey time by train is approx. 2 hours

Thank you, domenicococozza. We did not know that you had to change trains to get to Trieste from Venice.

Hi again,
Sorry but I appear to have given you incorrect info. Some trains DO go directly from Santa Lucia Station to Trieste. You might want to check out the Trenitalia website.
