You'll be able to get to your Hotel quickly, even by walking, and rest after a long journey.

Psst! Planning to visit Trieste?
I've got many articles about it! It is my hometown, after all. Here are some of them to help you plan your next dream vacation in Trieste:
How far is Trieste from the Cruise Port?
The Trieste Cruise Port is in the Gulf of Trieste, in the city center, only a short walk from the famous Piazza Unita' d'Italia.
It is easily accessible by land and sea, and you can get there by walking from your Hotel (if you choose one of the hotels in this list) or, if you come straight from the Trieste airport or the Trieste train station, you can get there by taxi, bus, or shuttle service.
See all the transports from Trieste Airport to Trieste city center, or if you prefer to go straight to the Cruise Port terminal, see the direct transfer here. In that case, you can visit Trieste for a few days at the end of your cruise.
How to get to Trieste Cruise Port from your Hotel
Getting to the Trieste Cruise Port from your Hotel is easy, and many transportation options are available.
If you choose to stay in one of the hotels on this list, near the cruise terminal in Trieste, you will only need a short walk (the further Hotel is only 12 mins away by walk). Otherwise, Taxis are a convenient and comfortable way to get to the port, and there are taxi stands throughout the city, or you can download the Trieste taxi app here and book one.
If you're on a budget, public transportation is a great option. Buses run regularly from the city center to the port (you can pay for the bus ticket with your debit card once on board), and a shuttle service is also available from many Hotels.
