Flights to Trieste

Although it's some distance from the town it serves, Trieste's only airport works as a major travel hub in its own right, allowing passengers to easily travel into the city or on to other destinations. Six high speed trains and nearly 50 regional services pass through its train station every day, reaching Turin and Rome in around four hours. Plus, there are international buses for destinations like Zagreb and Nice.

Which is the main airport in Trieste?

Trains depart for Trieste Centrale railroad station roughly every 20 minutes, and travellers can reach many other destinations directly from the airport by rail, too. Passing through Venice and Verona, the Frecciarossa train to Milan takes three hours 45 minutes, while the Frecciaargento service reaches Padua and Florence in under two hours.
