Reaching ICTP

• From Ronchi dei Legionari Airport

If you arrive at the Ronchi dei Legionari Airport you can reach the ICTP campus by either taking Bus Line 51 (Airport Bus 51) or a taxi.

By bus - The bus stops are outside the airport terminal building. Bus 51 runs from the airport to Trieste and has a stop at Grignano (pronounced greenah'no) close to the ICTP campus and the Adriatico Guesthouse.

The Adriatico Guesthouse is downhill from the bus stop and the other buildings are uphill. To reach the guesthouse, turn right down the small road "Via Junker", and note that the road eventually turns into a series of steps leading to the water's edge. There you will see the Adriatico Guesthouse on the right. Check the campus map for exact directions.

At the airport, bus tickets can be purchased at the post office on the ground floor or from the automatic machine at the arrivals hall.

By taxi - Taxis are found outside the airport. To reach the Adriatico Guesthouse, provide the address: Via Grignano 9, Trieste; to reach the Galileo Guesthouse: Via Beirut 7, Trieste; to reach the Leonardo Da Vinci Building: Main Building, Strada Costiera 11, Trieste.
