Tickets for Grotta Gigante

[ICTP Info Point]

We have received a few free tickets for ICTP scientific visitors to 
visit the Grotta Gigante (the world's largest cave open to the public).

Situated in the Carso hills above Trieste, the Grotta is about half an 
hour from the city centre. An exclusive feature of the cave is the 
horizontal pendulum, constructed by university researchers in order to 
calculate the slightest movements of the earth's crust. You can easily 
get there by bus 42 from Piazza Oberdan in Trieste and get off at Borgo 
Grotta-Sgonico. Visiting time from 10:00 -18:00 with a guided tour on 
the hour. You can get more information from www.grottagigante.it.

If you are interested in visiting the Grotta Gigante, tickets will be 
assigned on a first-come first-served basis.  You should contact the 
Info Point in person (on the left of the entrance in the Leonardo 
Building), or by e-mail (info_pt at ictp.it).
