You step off the gangway into Trieste's busy port, luggage in hand, and a polished van waits to carry you along the coastal plain toward Venice. The road moves you through limestone foothills and cultivated fields; the Adriatic keeps pace at the side like a constant, murmuring companion. After roughly 2.5 hours the van delivers you to Piazzale Roma — the final motorable threshold before Venice's watery lanes.
