Roma to Trieste by train

Trieste is the most distant city in northern Italy from Rome/Roma which explains the comparative lack of daily departures.
Though despite that there is a wide choice of options for making this journey from Roma/Rome to Trieste by train, however when travelling by day, it isn't possible to be in the city on The Adriatic until after 18:30.

  1. The daily 'Frecce' train operated by Trenitalia is the fastest option.
  2. The daily Italo service shares the high speed route as far as Bologna with the 'Frecce' train.
  3. The two daily IC services are a slower, but typically cheaper option.
  4. There is also an overnight train, which is typically due to arrive in Trieste at around 09:00.
