Trieste is the easiest trip abroad from Slovenia: twenty minutes from Koper, about forty from Piran and an hour and a half from Ljubljana. The border is inside Schengen, with no checks.

Getting there

By car is fastest. The centre of Trieste is a camera-controlled ZTL zone, so park by the station or by the sea. By bus — there are services from the coast. On a tour — no parking or driving worries.

What to do in a day

Piazza Unità and Molo Audace, coffee houses, the Grand Canal, the Roman theatre and San Giusto cathedral. With time to spare, stop at Miramare Castle on the way back — it is on the road towards Slovenia.
