'''Trieste''' is a city in the very east of [[Italy]].

=== South-East ([[Rijeka]]) ===

Most traffic going to [[Rijeka]] is passing a small village called Basovizza. You can take the bus #39 to get there.

Take a bus that goes to [[Aquilinia]], for example bus #20 departing from the city centre, direction [[Muggia]]. Get off at the first stop in Aquilinia, which is more or less the first stop after passing an industrial district. Walk towards the second stop (if you aren't already there). The second stop is located right after a traffic light and a zebra crossing. In front of you you will see a blue sign which encourages drivers to slow down. A couple of hundred meters further the roads splits, one can either enter the motorway or drive towards [[Muggia]]. Probably good to have a sign (KP for [[Koper]]). Average waiting time 45 minutes ([[Italy]] is not very hitchhiking friendly).

Your best option is to get to a [[Area Servizio]] (petrol station) on the motorway. The easiest way to do that is to take bus line 51 from Trieste bus station (around 2 Euro), and get out some 30 minutes later in the first station after Sistiana - the station is called Duino Bar Bianco. You will get off in a milk bar with great ice creams, behind the building you will see the motorway. Get to the motorway cross it with the tunnel, some 50 meters, to your left. Then turn again left and walk to the Agip petrol station (150m away), where you can ask for rides.

There is sometimes a controller but when some anonymous hitchhiker got controlled he just told the controller that he thought he would be able to buy a ticket from the driver (which is not possible) and the conductor just walked away. This is just his own experience though and maybe you won't be lucky. If you speak Italian, don't show it to the conductor!

There is a connection to [[Durrës]], [[Albania]].
