Trieste is about 240 km from Zagreb, through Slovenia. The heart of the city is the huge Piazza Unità d'Italia, which opens onto the sea, with the Canal Grande and the historic cafés nearby.

For groups who want more than a stroll we suggest Miramare Castle on the coast or the Grotta Gigante cave on the Karst above the city. Tickets and time slots can be arranged on request.

Frequently asked questions

Can we combine Trieste and the Grotta Gigante?

Yes, the cave is about 20 minutes' drive from the centre. Visits run at set times, so we plan your arrival around your tickets.

Can I book a single seat on the coach?

No. We run this tour as transport for a closed group, such as a school, parish, association, club, company or agency. The price is for the whole coach; the per-person amount is only an illustration for a group of 45.

What if there are fewer than 45 of us?

The coach costs roughly the same, so the cost per person goes up. For a smaller group, ask about travelling by car as well. Our quote is based on your actual number of passengers.
