By bus

Bus number 5. This is the quickest route up the hill from the city center. The trip takes about 10 minutes. Board the bus at the "Piazza Dante" stop in front of the train station or at the "Piazza Venezia" stop. Get off at the "Povo - Facoltà di Scienze" stop just after the blue sign for "Povo". 
Bus number 13. Getting to DISI from the city center takes much more time on this bus, but it might be useful if you are in the southern area of the city. Get off at the "Povo - Piazza Manci" stop and walk down the hill to get to the department. 
Bus number 16. From the northern part of the city to Povo.

Route times are displayed at every stop. The stop names are shown on bus stop placards. Tickets can be purchased at newsstands. Get them before boarding. Times and fares are available on the Trentino Trasporti website.
