Tour description
Come and discover with us the Middle-European city of Trieste and the beautiful Miramare castle!

Trieste's setting is particularly beautiful, combining the shining whiteness of its wild rocks, the blue sea and the green hills that surround it. We'll approach the town along its coast road, which appears perfectly inserted in the surrounding territory and offers a breathtaking view that stretches as far as the Istrian Coast.

Trieste has a rich historical and cultural background, in particular during the 17th and 19th centuries as port and trading center of vital importance for the economy of the Hapsburg empire. As we stroll around, you can see that history and images of the past are still living through all the ruins, monuments, streets and buildings scattered around the town.

To discover the roots of Trieste, we'll reach its historical heart, the Capitol Hill, site of ancient Roman Ruins, which include the theatre, the forum and an Augustan Triumphal Arch. We'll then admire the Castle and the Cathedral of San Giusto, a pleasant old town, an elegant seafront with exquisite palaces of remarkable architectural value, many being Neo-Classical, and Italy's largest square overlooking the sea, Piazza Unità d'Italia. These are the highlights of our morning in Trieste, along with a brief stop at one of Trieste's historic cafes, which used to be cultural, ethnical and political meeting points in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

For our leisurely lunch we'll stop in a typical restaurant offering local wines and dishes of a gastronomic tradition that reflects Trieste's role as a crossroads of different peoples and cultures.

The afternoon will be spent visiting the Miramare Castle, the romantic residence of Maximilian from Hapsburg and Charlotte from Belgium, and its wonderful park. Enshrined in the coastal rocks, it gives visitors the chance to admire the most enchanting sunsets!.
