Triesta Piazza Unita

Trieste - a city with hidden charms!

Trieste, a city where Italy meets Eastern Europe, is rich in history and culture, offering a mix of Italian, Austro-Hungarian, and Slavic influences. From its grand Piazza Unità d’Italia to the charming streets of Città Vecchia, Trieste feels like a step back in time, where coffeehouses bustle, and the Adriatic glistens.

One summer afternoon, as I strolled along the Canal Grande, I stopped for an espresso at the famous Caffè San Marco, a haunt of writers like James Joyce. A local at the next table struck up a conversation, sharing that the café had once been a meeting spot for revolutionaries. We laughed as he pointed to a book on the shelf, saying, “In Trieste, even our revolutions are caffeinated!”

This little encounter encapsulated what Trieste is all about – history, humor, and an unexpected warmth that makes you feel like you’ve found a hidden gem. Whether you're exploring Miramar Castle or getting lost in the narrow alleys, Trieste is a city of endless discoveries, where each corner offers a new story to uncover.

You can visit Trieste on our tours Vistas & Wines, Emerald tour, Istrian Coastal Tour and Parenzena
