Address

piazza Guglielmo Oberdan

On Saturday, 1 February 2025, the historic Opicina Railway will be put back into service


In the first weeks of service, the tram will operate with only one coach.
The tram will operate every day of the week with a terminal stop at Piazza Dalmazia and at Opicina.
The cars will not run along the last section of track as far as Piazza Oberdan: all rides will start and finish in Piazza Dalmazia.

This one-of-a-kind tram has been in operation in Trieste since 9 September 1902, connecting the centre of Trieste with Opicina, in the Karst plateau.

If you want to take an enjoyable trip outside the city, travelling a beautiful, panoramic route, take the tram - you won't regret it!

We recommend getting off the tram at the Francesco I d'Austria Obelisk and taking a lovely walk along the Strada Napoleonica (Napoleonic Way).

The tram takes you up a steep slope pushed by engine cars that also brake the descent by means of a funicular railway system.

The route is about 5 km long, with an altitude change of 329 metres and a maximum incline of 26%.

Interesting fact
Everyone in Trieste knows "El tram de Opcina", one of the most famous songs from Trieste.
The verses cheerfully recount a real event that happened on 10 October 1902, when the tram's engine car derailed due to a brake failure.
