Our Mediterranean cruise is ending in Trieste and we planned on staying in Venice for two days before flying home. Looking for recommendation on the best way to travel from the cruise port to Venice. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you all in advance.

We plan to use the Flix bus or take the train when we have the same situation early June.

Train from Trieste Centrale to Venezia S. Lucia, takes a bit over two hours. I booked mine on the Trenitalia app from my phone. (I'll be making the trip in late May). You could also take Flixbus which leaves from the same station but when I booked mine the prices were similar and I believe the train ride was shorter. Not 100% sure where the cruise port is but google told me its a 16 min walk from where I think it is. The city is walkable (I've done it) but you could probably find a cab if you don't want to walk with your luggage. Hope this helps!

Thank you. I checked out the train schedule and I didn’t see any during the day. There is only one at 7:50 pm and that seems to be very late. I am probably doing something wrong.

Yes, you might be doing something wrong. There are frequent direct trains from Trieste to Venice. Where are you looking?

hey hey elendom
agree with badger, doing something wrong.
trenitalia.com put in where to where "trieste to venezia s. lucia", outward journey date scroll down to bottom and click the time you want. # of passengers, click apply. gives you train times within the departures. remember that check in time to hotels/rooms are 2 to 4pm, check out is 10 to 11am. leave trieste later morning, not rushing off ship like everyone else and having to wait for your check in with bags, they have have baggage storage ask, they may have a room ready for you then.
where is your hotel at? what time does your flight leave venice, hopefully not at some ungodly hour like "ugly dark thirty 6am" getting to airport 4am ish. been there done that, we were not happy campers!!! give us more info and will help you out, what are your dates to arrive venice and to leave?

Regional trains after June 8 may not be on the schedule yet, and most of the trains are regional trains. Look at the same day of the week now and you will see the trains. You can be confident that the schedule will not change much, if at all.
