Trieste overview

It’s no wonder travellers choose to take flights to Trieste; this popular destination is beautiful and hums with life. Physically isolated from the rest of Italy this enchanting city climbs out of the Adriatic Sea.

Start your day in the vast waterfront Piazza Unita d’Italia and then wander through the narrow paved streets lined with pastel coloured buildings. Admire the neoclassical architecture surrounding the piazzas and look out for tantalising glimpses of the old Roman walls. The fairy tale Miramare Castle seems to grow out of the water. To get a taste of Trieste’s wealthier days visit the Museo Revoltella. This former 19th century palazzo boasts gold dining rooms, immense chandeliers and silk hangings. Take a walk along the San Giusto Castle ramparts for a panoramic view of the city, the sea and the surrounding hills. Trieste is reputed to be one of the best places in Europe to get a cup of coffee and was one of the first places to import coffee and enjoy drinking it. Take a cup in one of the Viennese-style coffeehouses, such as the faded grandeur of the Caffe Pasticceria Pirona. This was a favourite haunt of James Joyce and the furnishings are as they were in his day. It is believed he created “Ulysses” here. You will find many restaurants and bars; don’t plan on dining early however, as most do not get going until about 10pm.
