Getting There

The historic tram/funicular from Trieste to Villa Opicina was still being restored when I visited, though reopening of the line was due within weeks. In the interim Bus number 2 (the tram is also number 2) runs virtually the same route. Buses/trams run every 20 minutes and take about 25 minutes to make the 6Km journey that also includes a over 1,000 foot assent up to Villa Opicina
