I would like to take an inexpensive ferry from Trieste to Venice in July. Any suggestions? Where can I book the trip?
No ferry as far as I am aware (and I see no reason why there would be any call for one).
Just use

to find train times, detals and fares in English.
No need to book your tickets in advance. Ticket machines have English language options and are easy to use. Journey takes 2+ hours, one-way fare from 9.90 euro.
A welcome rest On my first day out in Trieste I took a bus into town to do some exploring and window shopping. After my initial introduction here, I found a friendly cafe where I rested for a while with a cup of coffee.
TIP: Ask for American coffee and you will be served a full cup otherwise you end up with a tiny amount of strong coffee (about a mouthful) in a tiny cup.
Once the major northern Adriatic port, Trieste has seen a decline in its stature as the size and capacity of other ports, such as the one at Koper, have increased. It still remains a major port for many industries, and is alos important for tourism. This is because it is still used as a major port along the Italy to Greece ferry routes, along with Venice, Bari and Brindisi.
Stop off here The railway station, located in the heart of Trieste, was built in 1878 to provide a better service and compliment the nearby port. Mainly in the Austrian/Italian style, these buildings were owned by wealthy families (doing business with the port) and which contributed a high economic level of development.
The northern part of Canale Grande, which ends by Piazza St. Antonio Nuovo, is in particularly attractive. Here on this place the catholic and the orthodox church stands side by side, while the fountain in the middle of the square. The Square of St. Antonio Nuovo is the favorite resting and relaxing places for both locals and visitors of Trieste.
Trieste has known many glamorous literary associations, particularly in the pre-World War II years. As a stop on the Orient Express, it became a famed destination. Dame Agatha Christie came this way, as did Graham Greene. James Joyce, eloping with Nora Barnacle, arrived in 1904. Author Richard Burton, known for his Arabian Nights translations, lived in Trieste from 1871 until he died about 20 years later.
