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, 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, observe Trieste of the 1st century AD, and find out why obelisks were installed on the buildings.
