Had no idea what to do when our cruise arrived in Trieste but was delighted we took the decision to head out to Miramare via the tourist bus route. There are limited buses running - be warned, it's not like the hopon hopoff every 10-15 mins so you need to plan timings carefully. Our guide on the bus going out asked what time we'd be returning from Miramare so guaranteed us a seat for the return journey.

I had the opportunity to access the parking lot. Without the reservation it would have been impossible to park nearby because of the large crowds. I skipped the line completely and went in for the visit on time. Everything was perfect

Very interesting tour to learn about the highlights of the city. You can get off at the stop you want and wait to catch the bus on the next tour (about 1 h). Bus closed, but comfortable. Friendly staff.

A great way to see Trieste in a short period of time. Also happy to have booked the tickets to see Miramare castle beforehand because the queue to buy tickets there was humongous. You may want to tell future visitors to the castle that if they've tickets in hand to skip the line and go straight to the entrance! Overall, happy to have found you on the internet!!! Would book with you again.
