Hello!

I am a retired NYPD Detective currently working in Iraq with the Department of State. in 1997 my wife and I traveled through Trieste and several local Police Officers helped us out with locating a hotel, restaurant and auto repair shop. They were very helpful and friendly and the police brotherhood that stretched across the many miles was refreshing to me. I plan, once again, to visit Triest for a couple of days in July (2008) with my wife and this time will bring our 4 youngest children. I tried to e-mail the hotel we stayed at the last time (Hotel Milano) but they ignored 2 e-mails from me. I was wondering if anyone had an e-mail for the local Trieste Police, so that I could e-mail them and possibly coordinate with them my visit. I have several pictures of my wife and I with the local police that assisted us. I'd like to send them these pictures in my e-mail and see if these guys are still around. Thanks!

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone has any info on how to get to Sacile by public transport. I will be coming from Milan and would like to take an afternoon train/bus so that I arrive in the evening. I will be staying with some distant relatives and will stay there for a few day and head into Venice to visit there too.

I would like to take a direct way from Milan to Sacile, but if not I can head into Venice early from Milan then take a bus/train into Sacile at night. I am not sure if there is a train station there or in a neighboring city.

If anyone has any info please let me know where to find it.

Thanks

Hi, my name is Sylwia and I’m having my wedding celebration in Trieste on the 6th September. As I haven’t been to Trieste before, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what Italian restaurants are good for our celebration.
We will have about 20guests so ideally we are hoping to have a good place to eat with good atmosphere, music… and of course good food.
If anyone could provide some advice on this matter it would be much appreciated.

Thank You

Sylwia

I need to travel from Venice to Porec on Sept. 24, 2007. I understand that the ferry does not sail that day from Venice. My next option is to take a train from Venice to Trieste 910 am to 1113am and then take a bus from Trieste to Porec.
How do I find out the bus schedule? On Sept. 27, I need to go from Porec to Grado.
How do I do this ? Is there a ferry for this day and trip? Leaving Sept 17 -
Can someone help me? Thanks - Anne

.. and I am very keen, is it easy to find James Joyce pilgrimage sites? Ask at the tourist info booth perhaps?

Or maybe there is a guided walk?

Also - any other literary pilgrimage sites?

And maybe a clue or two about some great but cheapish accomodation?

If you can help, much appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone knew where the cruise ship terminal was in Trieste.
We have asked the ship lines, MSC, and they have not responded. Also, would anyone have any idea how long it would take by taxi to reach the airport in Trieste as we are on a very tight schedule when the ship docks.
Thanks for your help.

Could anyone please recommend a fogolar restaurant in Udine that serves fogolar specialties for lunch?

Also, where would it be possible to park a car with a caravan for a few hours (lunch + city sightseeing walk) in the daytime please?

Hello, We will be taking a cruise from Trieste on September 17th and returning on the 24th. We will be arriving in Trieste by train from Venice.
Our problem is we have not be able to find out how far the airport is from where the cruise lines dock in Trieste. We just have a limited time to get from the ship to the airport when we dock but if it is a great distance we will have to book a hotel for the night and fly back to Canada the next day. Any help you could provide, regarding distance from where the cruise ships dock to the airport, would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is anmartin1@rogers.com
Thank you.

I need to meet a friend at the Central Station in Trieste on a Tuesday afternoon. Neither of us have been there before and we wont have mobiles. I want to know a good spot to meet in the station so we wont miss each other... a restaurant, or shop or something that will leave no room for confusion... any ideas??

Also does anyone know how often the beses run from Trieste to Piran in Slovenia?

Thanks.

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.

Do you have more than one train per day going from Trieste, Italy to Bled Croatia. If not how about busses? Also amount of time it takes or miles

We arrive at Marco Polo Airport (August in the morning)and want to take a train to Trieste. Should we buy tickets in advance or on the day we arrive? From Trieste, we would like to go to Piran. Do the buses run regularly during the week and how long does it take? A taxi is expensive and Ferry schedule from Venice to Piran is inconvenient time. Thank you.

I want to buy a watch for my father, about 1000-1500euro.
Could you give me some suggestions -- which shopes, which brand, and so on.

Thank you!

Which one is better for a short stopover for some sun and sea.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Is there any bus or taxi from tarvisio to bled and please inform me about the ticked and the taxi charge.

Hello,
We are packing up our apartment in Trieste and cannot transport furniture, kitchen wear etc. back home. Would there be a noticeboard somewhere (perhaps students working in Trieste) where I can put up a classified ad?
Also, I have had a lot of trouble trying to locate a shipping company that charges reasonable rates for us to transport some of our household goods back to Australia. Most of the ones I found with competitive pricing ship from England.
Thanks a million for your help.
