Dark history is also part of our heritage - San Sabba Rice Mill in Trieste
If you are looking for a humbling experience of Europe's darker past, San Sabba is an important site to visit in #Trieste.
The former rice factory served as a Nazi concentration camp during WWII. The site has been adapted to a museum and tastefully altered to remind us of the tragic history of the region.
The visit is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and remember.
I highly recommend renting an audio guide for better context.

The Modernist Hotel
We stayed one night in Trieste at The Modernist Hotel. The hotel is in a historic building, but the rooms are chic. Trieste is not a big city, so the hotel is conveniently located - we walked only 15 minutes from the train station. It is also less than a 15 minute walk to the cruise pier, where we needed to depart. Several grocery stores, restaurants, and shops are located around the immediate area.

Unity of Italy Square 🗺️
#timetotravel
The Unity of Italy Square, also known as Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, is an awe-inspiring masterpiece located in Trieste, Italy. As I stood in this grand square, I was struck by its sheer size and breathtaking beauty.
The square faces the Adriatic Sea, offering stunning views of the water and the surrounding architecture. It's a place that exudes a sense of history and unity, with majestic buildings lining its sides.
The most iconic feature of the square is the stunning Town Hall, a magnificent neoclassical building that adds to the grandeur of the space. Surrounding cafes and restaurants provide the perfect vantage points for people-watching and savoring Italian cuisine.
Visiting the Unity of Italy Square is a must for anyone exploring Trieste. It's a place that evokes a sense of national pride and leaves you with a deep appreciation for the city's rich heritage and stunning vistas. #trieste #italy

Café San Marco, Trieste, Italy
#Overseas Travel
Antico Caffè San Marco is one of the oldest historic cafés in Trieste, opened in 1914 and has a history of over 100 years.
The interior decoration of the cafe retains its old appearance and is very charming, with brass chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, marble tables and antique furniture, accompanied by the aroma of coffee.
I ordered a cup of coffee, and then a Torta sacher full of chocolate aroma. Drinking coffee in this environment, I was really intoxicated by the atmosphere of an old European coffee house! The point is that the price here is not expensive at all🥳
In addition, the cafe also has a restaurant and a pastry shop.

Trieste is often forgotten as tourists head off to the big Italian cities like Rome and Milan and it is a very charming and underestimated city. Well worth a visit.

The most beautiful accident Trieste
Trieste in the northwest corner of Italy is an unexpected attraction outside the itinerary. Bordering Slovenia, it is estimated that 99% of tourists to Italy will not go to this forgotten corner. Affected by the cultural traffic of many countries, it has long been a different temperament and style.
Because I set the train to Venice at 1 o'clock, the hotel Goopti arrived at 8 o'clock in the morning and arrived at Triste at 9 o'clock. So we simply put our luggage at the train station and use two or three trains. Just a few hours to visit this small town on the border of Italy.
Realization did not do the Raiders at all, just listening to the netizens saying that it is a place worth walking. Unfortunately, it is also a rainy day, even the dogs are falling into the soup.

A Day in Trieste – From Seaside Charm to Hilltop Views
My visit to Trieste was a perfect blend of seaside atmosphere, grand architecture, and a unique ride up into the hills. I started my day strolling along the elegant Piazza Unità d’Italia, surrounded by beautiful historic buildings facing the Adriatic Sea. The calm waters, seagulls, and gentle breeze made for a relaxing introduction to this fascinating Italian city with Austro-Hungarian roots.
After exploring the city center, I decided to try something special – the historic tram ride from Trieste to Opicina. This isn’t just any tram – it’s a steep climb up into the hills, part tramway, part funicular, offering spectacular views over the Gulf of Trieste. As we ascended, the city slowly gave way to greenery and distant sea views, and at the top, I enjoyed a peaceful walk in Opicina with even better panoramas.
Back in Trieste, I visited the Miramare Castle gardens and watched the sunset from the pier. The combination of coastal charm, history, and the unique tram experience made Trieste one of the most surprising and rewarding places I’ve visited.

Trieste – Where Italy Meets the Sea and Central Europe
#cityplaybook
#attractive #localguides
Tucked in Italy’s northeastern corner, Trieste is a city like no other—where Italian charm meets Austro-Hungarian elegance, and Slavic spirit blends with seaside serenity. Overlooking the sparkling Adriatic, this borderland city has been shaped by empires, writers, and the rhythm of the sea.
At its heart lies Piazza Unità d’Italia, one of Europe’s largest seafront squares, surrounded by grand neoclassical buildings that glow at sunset. From here, stroll the Molo Audace pier or explore the city’s literary soul—once the haunt of writers like James Joyce, Italo Svevo, and Umberto Saba.
Trieste’s mix of cultures is everywhere: in its Mitteleuropean cafés, Orthodox churches, and cozy osmize (local wine taverns) tucked in the nearby Karst hills. Don’t miss the majestic Castello di Miramare, perched over the sea like a fairytale castle, or the Grotta Gigante, one of the world’s largest accessible caves.
With a unique vibe that’s equal parts Italian, Central European, and Balkan, Trieste is a crossroads of cultures—and one of Italy’s most fascinating and underrated cities.

View of the Adriatic Sea from Trieste
It takes just under two hours by train from Venice to Trieste. It is said to be the unsettled part of Italy, and is located at the easternmost part of Italy. It is a port city facing the Adriatic Sea, but there is also a difference in elevation, so if you climb the hill, you can see a wonderful view. The food is delicious, especially the seafood, but as you would expect from Italy, everything you eat is excellent. I recommend making a reservation before going to the restaurant. It is quite full. The city is not that big, so you can enjoy it enough with one night. It is also recommended for solo travelers.

Castello di Miramare 👑
Castello di Miramare is a stunning castle located on the northern coast of Italy, near Trieste. Overlooking the Adriatic Sea, this 19th-century castle is a perfect blend of historic architecture and natural beauty. Surrounded by lush gardens and offering panoramic views, it’s a peaceful escape from the city.
The interior of the castle is just as impressive, with beautifully preserved rooms showcasing the opulence of the time. Visitors can explore the various halls, each filled with fascinating history and intricate details. The surrounding park and coastline make it a wonderful place for a leisurely walk, offering scenic views and a serene atmosphere.

Hidden Gem ❤️
This charming city boasts a rich history, stunning sunsets, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like home. The ‘locals’ are incredibly friendly, adding to the overall warmth of the place. Whether you're looking for cultural experiences, outdoor adventures, or just a relaxing day, there's always something to do year-round.
The food scene is diverse, with a wide variety of restaurants, tavernas, bars, and coffee shops offering something for every taste. From fresh seafood to traditional dishes, you’ll find plenty to satisfy your cravings.
While the city is best explored on foot to truly take in its beauty and atmosphere, public transport is also convenient and easy to navigate.
No visit is complete without exploring Castle Miramare and its beautiful gardens. It's an absolute must-see for anyone in the area. If you have more time, I highly recommend visiting Castle Duino as well. Both castles are impeccably preserved, offering spectacular views and fascinating histories that bring the past to life.
