Saturday 13 August: Bus Tour to Carsiana gardens/Duino Castle

[ICTP info point]

On Saturday 13 August there will be a free bus tour to two local places 
of interest: the Carsiana botanical gardens and Duino Castle.

The meeting point is at 9:15 on the main road in front of the Stazione 
Marittima - facing the sea, it is to the left of Piazza Unita', on the 
waterfront.
The bus departs at 9:30.

The ride will take you from the centre of Trieste to the hilly karst 
-(carso) area and its first stop is at the Botanical Gardens  "La 
Carsiana"   (www.carsiana.it), where you can take a look around the 
6000 sq.mt. of parkland, full of typical karst floral species.  The 
tour will take about half an hour.

Afterwards, the bus heads towards Duino, a picturesque fishing village 
along the coast where you can visit the unique Castle of the Torre e 
Tasso family (www.castellodiduino.it) and admire the spectacular views. 
  The stop in Duino village lasts about 1 1/2 hours.

The return to the Stazione Marittima is scheduled for 13:30.

The bus is free of charge, and places are assigned on a 
first-come-first-served basis.  You will have to pay for the optional 
entrance tickets to the Botanical Garden (3 euro, for groups 2 euro) 
and the Castle (ca. 5 euro).

Please come as soon as possible to the InfoPoint to sign up!
