Trieste has a small airport, called Aeroporto Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which is served by Ryanair with budget flights from the UK. There are also flights from Brussels, Genoa, Milan, Munich, Rome, Naples, Tirana and Valencia (as of 21st February 2013).

A public bus service (line number 51) runs from the airport to Trieste bus station, which is alongside the railway station. You can buy tickets from the airport's tourist information center or from an automatic vending machine, both can be found in the arrivals hall of the passenger terminal. A single ticket costs €3.80, buses are generally half-hourly on weekdays, and the journey takes approximately 50 minutes. Look out for CASTELLO MIRAMARE on your right as you journey along the coast.

Trieste is linked with the rest of Italy by train. Venice is a two-hour train ride away.
