Il Tram di "Opicina"

🚋 The Opicina Tram is back after 8 years!
The historic service connecting Trieste and Opicina is running again, one of the city’s most beloved symbols.

👉 The Opicina Tram is the last remaining tramway of its kind in Trieste. Since 1902, it has carried passengers up the steep slopes of the Scorcola hill (up to 26% gradient), offering beautiful views over the city and the sea 🌊.

🚲 It’s the perfect way to enjoy a trip out of town – and you can even bring your bike, thanks to the dedicated service.

📍 First time on board? We recommend getting off at the Obelisk dedicated to Emperor Francis I of Austria. From there, you can follow the scenic Napoleonica trail, a panoramic walk along the ridge with stunning views.

🎶 The tram is such a part of Trieste’s identity that local singer Lorenzo Pilat even dedicated a song to it, El Tran de Opcina, humorously narrating its ups and downs.
