A Trieste Trasporti city ticket costs 1.50 euros and lasts 60 minutes, a network day pass 3.35 euros and a ten-journey carnet 13.50 euros. You validate on board, or pay directly with a contactless card on the Eva validators. Buses 8 and 10 serve the Risiera, the Grignano line serves Miramare, and the Opicina tram climbs onto the karst from its provisional terminus at Piazza Dalmazia. The station is ten minutes on foot from Piazza Unita and the trains for Venice and Udine leave from there. From the airport (Trieste, TRS, at Ronchi dei Legionari, about 30 km from Piazza Unità d'Italia as the crow flies): the cheapest and fastest way is the regional train from Trieste Airport station, linked to the terminal, to Trieste Centrale, €4.75 and about 30 minutes. Alternatively, TPL FVG extra-urban buses to Trieste run about every half hour along the coast road to the bus station next to the railway station. Watch out: buses leave from the bus station of the intermodal hub, reached by a footbridge, no longer from the arrivals area; the ticket must be bought before boarding, and the Trieste urban day ticket is not valid on extra-urban buses.
- The 3.35-euro day pass pays off on the third journey: doing Miramare and the Risiera on the same day already covers it.
- Miramare, Barcola and the centre all sit on the same shoreline: you can do the lot on foot in one long day, about seven flat kilometres along the sea.
- The osmize need a car and need the calendar on osmize.com checked that same morning: they open in rotation and there is no way to know once you are out there.
- Slovenia is ten kilometres away, but taking a Slovenian motorway requires an electronic vignette tied to your number plate: without it the fine is 300 euros.
