How to book a taxi in Gorizia
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of GO
To book a taxi in Gorizia, call the radio taxi at 0481 1989. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Gorizia, taxi service is organized around a single radiotaxi number, 0481 1989, active since 2019 with the Smart Taxi system: you dial the number and the control room immediately puts you in touch with the nearest available taxi, indicating waiting times. Alternatively, you can get on directly at the taxi ranks in piazza della Vittoria and in front of the railway station, the most convenient reference points in the city centre. The main national ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi, InTaxi) do not currently appear to be operating in Gorizia: Uber's dedicated city page is a generic landing page, while the Uber Taxi/Black service launched in the region in 2024 covers Trieste, Udine and Monfalcone, not Gorizia. Being a border city, many rides involve the connection with nearby Nova Gorica (Slovenia) or with Trieste and Ronchi dei Legionari airport, so it's advisable to book a little in advance, especially in the evening hours.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari (Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport) (TRS) · ~24 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal fare for the airport-Gorizia route: local taxis apply the metered fare (out-of-town/extra-urban rate), so it's advisable to ask for an estimate when booking by phone or to consider an NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) service agreed at a flat rate.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre has a municipal ZTL (limited traffic zone) (piazza della Vittoria, the pedestrian corso Verdi, via Garibaldi, via Mazzini, via delle Monache/Rastello/Cocevia and neighbouring streets) reserved for residents and authorised categories; taxis regularly access it as a public passenger transport service.
Practical tips
- The single number 0481 1989 is the quickest way to get a taxi anywhere in the city: the Smart Taxi control room automatically assigns the nearest available driver.
- In the historic centre, taxis can also be found at the ranks in piazza della Vittoria and in front of the railway station; useful if the phone line is busy during peak hours.
- As Gorizia is a border city twinned with Nova Gorica (European Capital of Culture 2025 together, GO! 2025), many taxis regularly make cross-border trips: agree on the Slovenian destination when you call.
- None of the main national ride-hailing apps is active in Gorizia: for advance bookings or rides to Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari airport, it's best to call the radiotaxi directly.
- To reach scenic spots such as the Castello di Gorizia, which overlooks the historic centre, a taxi is convenient as it avoids the uphill walk; mention this to the operator when you call.
