Things to do in Trieste

Trieste is barely in Italy, perching on the Adriatic Coast on a piece of land that juts into Slovenia. Come experience its unique cross-cultural mix of Central European culture, the pleasures of the Hapsburg spirit and Austro-Hungarian past on a private Trieste tour with a friendly local guide. Your guide will be quick to point out Trieste's vibrant coffee culture; its Viennese-style coffee houses are packed with locals enjoying each other's company and the fantastic brew Trieste takes to heart. Savour a caffe nero before strolling the city streets with your guide. You can't miss the 2000-year-old Teatro Romano in the centre of the modern city. Outside Trieste, you may want to visit the romantic Miramare Castle, or the lovely Hapsburg-style towns of Collio and Cormons, where you can enjoy local Ribolla and Refosco wines. Your guide can design a private Trieste tour that reflects your unique travel interests, whether they are culinary, historical, cultural - or all three!
