What's great about Trieste cruises?
Perched on the Adriatic, Trieste has long been a melting pot of Italian, Austrian and Slavic influences. Cobblestone streets, pastel-coloured buildings and elegant cafés spill into piazzas where locals linger over espresso. The city’s old town winds down to the waterfront, dotted with historic palaces, Baroque churches, and hints of its Austro-Hungarian past.
- San Giusto hill rises above the city with its Medieval cathedral and castle with terraces that reward you with views over Trieste, the Gulf, and hints of the Karst hills.
- Muggia, just a short drive from Trieste, is a tiny fishing town dating back to Roman times, with Venetian-style houses, narrow lanes and a cute harbour.
- Spend time in Piazza Unità d’Italia, the city’s lively heart and one of Europe’s largest seaside squares, lined with grand palaces and lively cafés.
