Overview
Trieste is an ancient city at the junction of Slavic, Latin, and Germanic cultures. Not only is it an ancient Roman city with an amphitheater, a medieval hilltop fortress, and bayside beaches, but it is also a major seaport, supplying Europe with coffee and Austria, Italy, and Slovenia with containers of goods from the Far East.
Over the past hundred years, Trieste has changed hands many times from opposing sides, but at the same time, it is a typical Italian city with a bustling street life, beautiful cafes, castles, and delicious cuisine.
During the tour, in addition to history, architecture, and important data, you will also learn about many interesting legends and stories associated with this place, take a look at the city through the eyes of Umberto Sabo, Italo Svevo, Charles VI, and Maria Theresa, sit in James Joyce's favorite cafe or taste blue coffee, see the house where the disgraced Spanish prince lived with his family and court, observe Trieste of the 1st century AD, and find out why obelisks were installed on the buildings.
