There are direct trains from Milan and Turin (no need to change at Venice).

Coach
This is the least used means of transport. There are some coach services from Croatia to Friuli Venezia Giulia that stop in Trieste.
The coach companies offering these services are: Eurolines Italia (www.eurolines.it), (departures from Venezia Mestre, Naples, Rome, Florence); Sita (departures from Rome); La Valle (departures from Southern Italy).

Car
The quickest way to reach Trieste from Western Italy is the A4 Torino-Trieste motorway.
Take the Trieste Lisert exit and proceed for about 20 kilometres to the town centre, passing along the road above the gulf, with exits for Gabrovizza, Prosecco-Trieste Centro-Opicina, Fernetti, Trebiciano, and Padriciano.
An alternative to the motorway is the SS14, which connects Venezia Mestre and Trieste (about 150 km).
