Enjoy seafront views and literary cafes in the remarkable city of Trieste.
Trieste welcomes travelers with its stunning Austro-Italian architecture and sense of lived-in grandeur. Travelers should head to the Piazza Unita d’Italia, one of Europe’s largest seafront squares, and enjoy its postcard-esque scenery. Or, visit Miramare Castle, a white castle that hovers above the Gulf of Trieste like something out of a fairy tale. Another highlight of the city is its strong literary cafe culture, with popular spots like Caffe San Marco or Caffe degli Specchi. Travelers can also walk along the Canal Grande and enjoy the serenity of this walkway featuring bridges and boats, evoking Venetian scenes.
