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

== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==
=== South-East ([[Rijeka]]) ===
Most traffic going to [[Rijeka]] is passing a small village called Basovizza. You can take the bus #39 to get there.
the main road, then it is the right time to get out. Go back to the road and start hitchhiking from there. It's an
average place there, because it is behind a curve, but you will be seen soon enough to get away.
If you can get a short ride of about 5km to the former border with Slovenia, take it. There is a small petrol station and some restaurants, drivers have a better opportunity to stop here, so, you can stand next to the main road and tramp or talk with the people who stop to take gas. My friend and me got a direct ride to Rijeka in about half an hour.
''Edit: since this road goes through Slovenia it's pretty easy to catch a ride for Ljubljana too.''
=== East ([[Ljubljana]]) ===
Take a tram to Opicina(cost 1.35eur, February 2015), which is a town almost at the border. The main village road becomes the road to the border, getting out of town there are places where vehicles can stop. Recommended place is in front of NLB bank at the end of the town and where cars can stop easily. Just after the border there is a gas station on the motorway, or you can stand by the old road. (December 2013: The Tram is broken since September 2012, Take the bus 2/ ). (August 2014 : You can take the bus 42 to the end and there you are less than 300m from the border, and there is a safe place to hitchhike from and room for cars to stop by.) Or you can ask at the train station for a bus to Sežana,ask for timetable because there aren't many buses per day. Once you are in Sežana walk down a little through the city until you see the signal of Ljubljana. You'd better hitch hike before getting in the the highway, there are not many cars but usually one of that few will stop. === South ([[Koper]], [[Pula]]) ===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).

== Blackriding ==
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!
==[[Hitchhiking a boat|Ferry]]==
There is a connection to [[Durrës]], [[Albania]].
== [[Sleeping]] ==
There is a Nomad Base in Trieste 10 minutes walking from the center where you can stay for free. Mobile/whatsapp +39 3895337956
You can sleep in Barcola - a big park on the coast about 5 km far from city center. You can reach Barcola with a bus C from the railway station or with a tram from Obedram (tram station not far from center). You can also sleep in a tent there: in the morning there are many people coming to swim, but nobody pays attention to the tent.
If it's getting late and you didn't find a place for the night, the train station is also a good option. Just find a quiet spot, between the others that already did, and you'll get a rather quiet sleep for the night; Until 6:20, when the guard came and woke everybody up, I wasn't bothered at all.
WARNING: DO NOT SLEEP AT BARCOLA! OR IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO: DO NOT PUT A TENT THERE!
The wild camping is strictly prohibited in Italy. The penalty for that is 200EUR and Barcola is patrolled by Carabinieri every morning. One I had to sleep there (it was too late to get anywhere else). Although I didn't put a tent and made my place look like early beachgoer, in the morning I was woken up by the police. Fortunately, managed to get only with admonishment, mainly because I didn't have a tent.
If you want to sleep near the see, go near to Miamare castle. There are some flat concrete spots, where you can safely sleep. Keep close to the road so you won't be visible from the road. And be warned: the Carabinieri outpost right above you! Thus I would not recommend putting a tent, but I found it quite comfortable to sleep just on the inflated mattress there it during the summer.
The other option are hills above Trieste. Take the bus 2 and go near to Obelisco on the top. You can also take a bus 38, but you'll have to walk a little up from the last stop. There is a tap with drinkable water near the Obelisco. Go to the Obelisco, you can put a tent behind trees near the Obelisco. Also you may take dirt road that does not go up and you will find some places near the road (with nice view on the bay).
