Rising amongst the sea and the mountains, Trieste brims with cuisine, culture, and castles. Trieste is the capital of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region just next to Slovenia and Croatia. The impressive and towering Dolomites are a stunning backdrop and the azure of the Adriatic Sea combines several shades of blue as far as you can see on the horizon. The city’s medieval centre is a hot pot of cultural sites including the Miramare Castle, the Teatro Lirico di Giuseppe Verdi and the prime examples of the Palazzo della Borsa Vecchia and the Palazzo del Governo. Discover what Trieste has for you!

Walk along the Borgo Teresiano and be delighted with the beautiful neoclassical buildings, large boulevards, and piazzas. Stop for a while and admire the Canal Grande, one of the most popular places where locals go for a walk or to sip a negroni. Trieste offers a unique context that allows you to combine a seaside stay with a natural landscape. From Trieste you can also reach several very interesting Italian locations, such as Cividale and Aquileia, or very popular marine destinations such as Grado or the Grotta Gigante, outside the city. If you wish to drive further you can reach Croatia and eastern Europe, too.

Do you like films or history? Are you looking for interesting cultural attractions during your stay? Trieste is a great classical city that shows great highlights including St. Giusto Cathedral or the Castle of St. Giusto. But a lot of cultural activities are awaiting for those art lovers at the Art History Civic Museum or at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale (Natural History Museum). Activities are planned throughout the year as well, and film enthusiasts should not miss the Trieste Film Festival in January and then, in November, they hold the annual Science Fiction film festival.

The Karst offers great choices to hikers and also for less experienced climbers. From paths for everyone such as the Napoleonica that connects the Obelisk of Opicina to Prosecco, to more challenging routes such as the one that goes from Prosecco to the square of Monte Grisa to the Via Crucis and the Nicolò Cobolli path, the breathtaking view of the Gulf of Trieste is going to mesmerise anyone who sees it. The rocky walls of Napoleonica, Costiera and Sistiana are an attractive gym for climbing experts. If you prefer using two wheels to explore and cycle around, get on a bike and cycle along the beautiful paths that will take you into wild nature.

Surrounded by a green lush park, the Miramare Castle is located in a high and panoramic position, overlooking the sea, on top of the Grignano promontory. This castle was built by Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg and Charlotte of Belgium and it is a luxurious residence that still keeps original furnishings. A place to spend a day with an aristocratic flavour, within the walls and gardens of a true architectural jewel.

The waterfront of Trieste is a beautiful place to take a long walk and enjoy an evening “passeggiata”. The long stone promenades and the piers fill the area that is just opposite the main square, Piazza Unità, and the city centre. One of the good things to see is the Molo Audace pier stretching into the water. From the end of the pier, turn around and admire Trieste, taking in the amazing views.

The Roman Theatre of Trieste is certainly the most impressive Roman ruins. A short walk from the city centre, just at the bottom of San Giusto, will take you to this ancient and stunning building. The walls remain intact given its advanced age! How amazing is it to see an impressive Roman site in the middle of a city surrounded by residential buildings?

There are some other Roman ruins and stunning views to be seen from the top of San Giusto Hill. The old settlement was located here as well as the magnificent San Giusto Castle and the Roman ruins just outside. Visit the armory and the museum. Explore around the site and take in the views.

Italy is known for having good food and so is Trieste, of course. Try the homemade fresh pasta, the zucchini flowers or the pumpkin lasagna at Baracca E Burattini. Be spoilt for choice at the buffet of Siora Rosa and some tasty fish at Osteria Marise. Pair your meals with a nice Prosecco. Try the best wines and “aperitivos” at Gran Malabar or a fresh beer at Mastro Birraio. Do not forget to get some ice cream for pudding!
