Favourite places in Trieste
On the days before and after the wedding, here's where you'll most likely find us:
Degusteria Km 0 Trieste
A nice hidden bar with great food. Perfect for pretending you're a local.
Trattoria Da Giovanni
Classic Trieste vibes: simple dishes, wine in graffe, and a very laid-back atmosphere.
Piazzetta Riccardo
Pick any bar. Seriously. It's hard to go wrong here.
Pizza da Pino
Self-explanatory.

Bonus picks
-
Ian's weird pick:
Go to Panetteria Pasticceria Dafina and get a burek with meat. Trust the process. -
Ana's less weird pick:
Have a second breakfast at Panne Quotidiano in Viale XX Settembre and order a shakerato. Because one breakfast is simply not enough.

Where people hang out
If you're looking for good vibes, aperitivo, and the general art of doing nothing:
- Piazza di Cavana β our favourite area, full of narrow streets, bars, and aperitivo spots.
- Via Torino β lively and great for drinks, especially at night.
- Ponte Rosso β scenic and central.
- Viale XX Settembre β perfect for strolling and offers a bit of shade under the trees.

Short trips nearby
If you feel like exploring beyond Trieste, here are some easy options:
Italy
- Venice β about 2 hours by car or train.
- Verona β about 3 hours by car or train.
- Trieste also has an airport, so you can hop to other Italian cities depending on the options available.
Croatia
- PoreΔ / Rovinj β 1 to 1.5 hours by car or bus, small and charming seaside towns.
- Pula β about 2 hours by car or bus, a cute seaside town with a Roman arena.
Slovenia
- Ljubljana β 1 hour by car or bus, cute and very walkable.
- Lake Bled β 1.5 hours by car or bus, looks like a postcard.
If you rent a car, you should be good to go. Another option we'd recommend, if possible,
is to use trains in Italy and buses like FlixBus for Slovenia and Croatia. No borders
anywhere, which makes moving around easy.

How to get from Amsterdam
We've tested a few routes:
- Fly Amsterdam β Venice (often arrives late, but Venice is a pretty decent layover cityβ¦)
- Fly Rotterdam β Trieste (the easiest option, but not daily)
- Fly Amsterdam β Trieste via Frankfurt

Getting to Trieste
-
From Trieste Airport:
Take a 30-minute train and you're in the city center. -
From Venice Airport:
Slightly more complicated:- Bus to Venice train station.
- Then a 2.5-hour train to Trieste.
- Or take a shuttle bus from Venice airport directly to Trieste β we usually use GoOpti.
β οΈ Trains don't run at night, so plan accordingly.
Thanks for coming all this way to celebrate with us β we're really looking forward to having you there and making amazing memories together π»
