Trieste is a charming seaport city also referred to as “Vienna by the sea”. The city’s main squares are decked with imposing Neoclassical buildings, and the Grand Canal is packed with open-air cafés. This is a witness to the fact that, just like Venice and its lagoon, this city also had an outstanding seafaring past. This vibrant city is influenced by Italian, Austro-Hungarian, and Slovenian culture which can be evidenced in its architecture. Admire the magnificent Piazza Unità d'Italia, the biggest square in Europe by the sea. As you walk around the historic centre of the city you will discover the charm, the history, and the culture of this amazing city overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
