Combo (Save 5%): Miramare Castle + Trieste 24-Hour Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour

We really enjoyed our little tour of Triestre. The price was right and the staff very nice. I only have one criticism. The audio in English was very clear and very interesting. The only thing that you really must change , in my opinion, is some of the words used. Some of these include the following from memory but I am sure there are more. Epoque: is not a word used in English, period would be more appropriate. Spur: Can't remember the context it was in but it means nothing. Mole cost: I think he was supposed to say coast and was in refering to the harbour and surrounding, but in any case not a thing. Slewing, in reference to a slewing bridge. This maybe technically correct but unless you were an engineer or grew up in 19th century it means nothing. Rotating bridge or something similar would be better. It is a common error made everywhere you travel but I think it is something that would improve the experience of this wonderful city.

The place is beautiful, the only shortcoming I found was the lack of signage inside the park. I struggled to figure out which path to take to exit to the "Miramare" train stop from where I had entered. (I admit I did not bother to memorize the way).

Miramare is just beautiful. I have really wanted to see this castle for some years and when the opportunity came up to go to Trieste, this was on the top of my list. The HopIt Bus and Miramare ticket made it easy to get there and see the castle. My advice is that it takes an hour to get there on the HopIt Bus and you then have a 20-30 minute walk from the drop off point, so take that into consideration when booking your tour time for the castle.

Good experience, allowed me to park right near the castle having purchased tickets in advance and respected schedules with no lines.

With the online ticket, we avoided the long line for entrance to Miramare Castle. We got in right away Too bad the parking space indicated in the reservation was sold out and we had to turn around and look for one in place

The information on the tour was good. The bus was punctual and the guides helpful. The castle is stunning in a great location and with lots to see.

Directions in the email and ticket to initiation spot were different, then I went to drop off point and could not find sign. Saw the bus and tried to flag the driver and he passed me by. So I never go to use the bus. Took a 20 taxi each way to Miramare and would like my money refunded.

The exhibit was great, very interesting, Information available in different languages. The view and castle and gardens are breathtaking. Booking worked without any problems

The castle is fabulous to see, as soon as we arrived at the site they let us in right away. Parking, on the other hand, was difficult to find because there were so many people stopping at the "beach" to swim! Tip: arrive a few hours early to get a spot, especially if you want to visit the castle in August 😉

With the tickets we booked online, we got in straight away without having to wait at the ticket office in the castle. Everything worked really well. The castle itself is a beautiful place, located directly on the lakeshore. The rooms and the exhibition are impressive. It was definitely worth a visit.

Everyone was friendly, despite the 35-38 degrees. It is a special place, you can feel it on the spot. I loved the arbor, the whole garden is special, even today... Unforgettable memory for my wife, brother-in-law and sister-in-law🇮🇪☀️⚓️❣️

I never was able to attend as I was advised part way there, from Trieste, that my husband back in Australia had had a serious car accident, and a tragedy, and we had to get back to accommodation straight away to deal with it all.

The museum itself (the inside of castle), is okay, nothing that you didn't already see somewhere else in some other castle, BUT, the castle itself (outside), the views, gardens, everything around is just wow, mesmerising. We had no problems with tickets, we didn't have to wait or anything!

Beautifully arranged furniture, fine art and tapestry. I could imagine how life more than a hundred years must have been. With the audio guide you could choose your own tempo instead of trotting in a huge flock after a guide. Unfortunately the fountains in the castle garden were off, this would be the cherry on top.

Very interesting visit to Miremare Castle and lovely gardens with wonderful views of the coast and the Adriatic. Highly recommend.

spectacular Miramare Castle because of its enviable location. Great reservation that made us skip the queue even though at the entrance the QR code of the ticket was not read by the device, but they let us in anyway. Very disappointing was the shuttle service for visiting the park; 6 euros to be transported in a really uncomfortable way and with 15 minutes we were shown a tiny part of the 22 hectares of park in passing.

The strategic location of the castle, the lights and reflections of the sea combined with the beautiful super manicured gardens make for a wonderful experience

Beautifully preserved castle, vervpleasant helpful staff, well organised visit and fabulous location, easily accessible by bus or ferry

Tutto l'insieme, un parco meraviglioso, un castello fantastico con ancora tutti gli arredi come se non fosse passato il tempo

The castle is amazing. I wish we had budgeted more time for the grounds. It is a very long walk from the group bus site.
