DIRECTIONS to Trieste from the nearby airports
We recommend as the most convenient solutions in terms of cost, time and reliability to use the Science Bus (preferred from/to Trieste airport) or GoOpti (preferred from/to the other listed airports) private shuttle services. They can be booked online and operate dedicated and on request stops both ways including Elettra Sincrotrone, the NH Hotel Trieste and most downtown hotels. These services must be booked at least 48 hours prior to departure.
Trieste Airport is now connected by rail to the city centre, the ride takes approximately 30 minutes and the Central Railway Station is walking distance to the NH Hotel Trieste (approx. 3 minutes). Tickets are less than €5.00, you may find more details and timetable here. You may reach Trieste by train from Venice airport as well. Timetables and ticketing information are available on the Ferrovie dello Stato web site.
If you rent a car at the airport, there is a garage nearby the NH Hotel Trieste at Euro 20/24h for guests, alternatively the Molo IV parking space 300 metres from the hotel at Euro 10/24h for all.

There are regular city service buses (N. 51 and N. 39) that travel from Trieste central railway station to the Elettra Laboratory or the village of Basovizza, about 10 km far from downtown Trieste.
