Paseo rápido en bici de Trieste a Villa Opicina

Saddle up for a ride from the lively port city of Trieste to the hilltop town of Villa Opicina! This 11.5 km route starts in the heart of Trieste, famous for its grand squares, coffee houses, and its unique blend of Italian and Austro-Hungarian architecture. As you pedal north, be ready for a solid climb—there’s a hefty 500 meters of ascent, but it rewards you with sweeping views over the Adriatic and the karst plateau.

The journey is mostly on smooth, quiet roads, with only rare stretches of busier traffic. While you’ll spend most of your time on asphalt, a tiny portion lacks detailed surface data—nothing to worry about for most bikes. Villa Opicina, your destination, is known for its crisp air and its historic Tram de Opicina, a quirky tramway offering panoramic vistas. Grab a gelato or coffee in the town square to celebrate making it to the top!
