Are you planning a trip to Trieste? Let my local guide help you make your holiday perfect! I offer top tips, recommendations, and more for exploring this beautiful destination (my hometown).
Trieste is Italy's most beautifully haunting city, so you can't miss planning a trip to visit it, even just on a day trip from Venice.
Trieste is famous for its cold Bora wind, making you fly like Mary Poppins if no attention is paid.
Part of Italy since 1954, Trieste belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. It was one of its most important cities thanks to its seaport, making Trieste the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.
In Trieste, you can see the largest square facing the sea in Europe, called.
Piazza Unità d’Italia. This square by itself is a great reason to visit Trieste.

The beautiful city of Trieste (my hometown) is the capital city of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeast Italy.
It is a port town that fills a thin piece of land between the Adriatic coast and Slovenia’s border on the limestone-dominated Karst Plateau. The Trieste port is one of Italy's most famous cruise ship ports.
Trieste is also the most Mitteleuropean city in Italy, indicating that it looks a bit like Central European cities like Vienna, Prague, or Budapest.
But Trieste still has its Italian atmosphere, creating a wonderful mix of cultures and connections.
Are you in?
Italian, Austro-Hungarian and Slovenian characters are all visible in its design, which incorporates an ancient old city and a neoclassical Austrian quarter.

This famous square is the essence of the city, the area where people gather and spend time together. Piazza Unita' d'Italia is also the most iconic scene of the city. Astonishing during the day, and amazingly romantic at night.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT TRIESTE?
Trieste is beautiful every month of the year. But, if you suffer from cold temperatures, I advise you to avoid winter because it can be freezing.
Make sure to stay in Trieste for at least one whole day because Trieste is a city where various influences come together, a town whose history can be "expressed" by enjoying its most excellent classical meals.

The famous Bora wind can reach up to 220 kilometers per hour (crazy, I know). Not very pleasant if you are planning to spend many hours walking and visiting the city.
Some people and some cars occasionally end up in the sea, so be aware of it.
The best period to visit Trieste is from April to November. You can find pleasant temperatures and sunny days.
If you plan to visit Venice, remember that Trieste is only 2 hours away by train. You can easily add one or two days to see this splendid city to your itinerary.
In Trieste, you can also find The Università del Caffè headquarters, where Illy caffè was established and is still based. Are you a coffee lover? You are going to love drinking coffee in Trieste.
Trieste has since been well-established as the world center of coffee culture.
Here, the Master's degree in Coffee Economics and Science Ernesto Illy is held, as are all the courses offered by the Università del Caffè, which often include a tour around the illy plant.
