Campus Map
The ICTP campus is divided by the Strada Costiera, a busy thoroughfare connecting Trieste to Motorway A4. Narrow sidewalks and heavy traffic make walking along this thoroughfare dangerous. There is a pedestrian crossing near the bus stops. Visitors are advised to strictly avoid crossing the road at other points, least of all in the tunnels. The footpath in Miramare Park offers a pleasant pedestrian route between the Adriatico Guesthouse and the other ICTP buildings.
Local Buses
The local bus lines running between Trieste and ICTP depends on the season. Between June and September, Bus No. 6 runs between the city (including the Central Railway Station) and Grignano. The end-of-line stop, Grignano, is on the seafront, a short distance from the Adriatico Guesthouse.
