Campus Map

The ICTP campus is divided by the Strada Costiera, a busy thoroughfare connecting Trieste to Motorway A4. Narrow sidewalks and heavy traffic make walking along this thoroughfare dangerous. There is a pedestrian crossing near the bus stops. Visitors are advised to strictly avoid crossing the road at other points, least of all in the tunnels. The footpath in Miramare Park offers a pleasant pedestrian route between the Adriatico Guesthouse and the other ICTP buildings.
