How to book a taxi in Grado
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of GO
To book a taxi in Grado, call the radio taxi at 331 435 75 98. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Grado is a small garden-island in the Adriatic, and its taxi service is scaled to match its size: the Comune's regulation authorizes only 4 cars, 1 motorbike taxi (motocarrozzetta), and 4 taxi-licensed boats — a minimal fleet compared with a mid-sized town. The cars wait at the public taxi ranks designated by the Comune, where the phone number to call for a ride is also displayed; you can, in any case, flag down a free taxi on the street. Since there is no single citywide "radiotaxi" switchboard, the simplest approach for a tourist is to ask your hotel's reception desk or the Consorzio Grado Turismo for the up-to-date number of the nearest taxi rank, or to turn to a chauffeur-driven hire service (NCC) for a fare agreed in advance, especially for Trieste airport or for Aquileia. Finally, to get around the lagoon, you can book local taxi boats departing from Porto Mandracchio, ideal for reaching the island of Barbana or the other islands of the lagoon.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Friuli Venezia Giulia (Trieste - Ronchi dei Legionari) (TRS) · ~22 km from the center
There is no fixed fare published by the Comune di Grado for the route to the airport: the taxi service runs on the meter, so it's best to ask for an estimate before setting off, or to agree on a fixed price in advance with an NCC such as NCC Grado.
Practical tips
- The taxi fleet is minimal (only 4 municipal licenses): during peak season (July-August) and on weekends, book in advance or consider an NCC to be sure of finding a free car.
- In the narrow lanes of Grado Vecchia and in the limited-traffic/pedestrian zones along the seafront promenade, cars can't always reach your door: be prepared to walk the last stretch, especially in summer.
- For Aquileia (a UNESCO site, about 12 km away) or for Trieste airport (about 22 km away), always agree on the fare with the driver or with an NCC before setting off, as the Comune has not published fixed fares for these routes.
- To explore the Laguna di Grado (the sanctuary-island of Barbana, Anfora, Marano) you can hire a taxi boat from Porto Mandracchio, a scenic alternative to the classic road taxi.
- Since there are no ride-hailing apps active in Grado, if you can't find a taxi at the rank, ask your hotel's reception desk or the Consorzio Grado Turismo for the up-to-date phone number of the nearest taxi rank.
