Highlights
  • Piazza dell’Unita d’Italia - Welcome to Europe’s largest open sea square, spanning 12,280 square meters! The square’s beauty alone makes a visit to Trieste worthwhile, but there are many more attractions to explore!
  • Arco di Riccardo - This ancient Roman gate, likely dating back to the 1st century A.D., was part of the Roman Tergeste’s walls, constructed by Augustus in 33 B.C.
  • Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire - Located atop the hill of the same name, which served as the acropolis of Roman Tergeste and possibly a sacred site. The current five-nave structure was formed in the early 14th century by merging two separate religious complexes.
  • Castello di San Giusto - A key symbol of the city, San Giusto Castle stands on its namesake hill, offering views of the city, its gulf, and hinterland.

The entrance ticket (not included) costs €6, and it’s worth it for the stunning gulf view!

  • Teatro Romano di Trieste - This Roman theatre is situated at the base of San Giusto hill, in the city’s heart, bordering the historic area.
  • Piazza della Borsa - In the 19th century, this square was Trieste’s economic hub. Today, it is an elegant area with several notable buildings and intriguing stories that I will share with you!
  • Chiesa Serbo Ortodossa di San Spiridione - A magnificent building in the city center. The church of St. Spiridione, designed in the shape of a Greek cross, reflects the Byzantine style of eastern churches and features a central dome higher than its four bell towers.
  • Church of Sant’Antonio Nuovo - Commonly known as ‘Sant’Antonio Nuovo,’ it is named after an earlier church from the mid-18th century. Constructed between 1828 and 1849, the new church draws inspiration from the classical grandeur of significant Roman monuments.
  • Canale Grande - The Grand Canal, measuring 370 meters in length and 28 meters in width, is a city symbol. A stroll along its banks is a must!
  • Molo Audace - Gia “Molo S. Carlo” - A 200-meter-long walkway over the sea, perfect for a stroll and fresh air at any time of day or season. Be mesmerized by autumn sunsets that paint the Rive’s palaces red, or if you’re adventurous, brave the 100 km/h bora winds to reach the wind rose’s top and test your endurance!

Highly recommendable - We found this guide to be an excellent way to see Trieste. It was very easy to use & we wouldn't have found the attractions as easy to find without it. Our time in Trieste was short so it was perfect for us. Initially we had a small problem with the link but we had received a wats app message from Matteo to say if we needed anything to contact him which I did & he got back to be straight away. Would definitely recommend this audio tour.

A day in Trieste - We had a great day. Were able to see many of the sites of Trieste and stay as long as we liked. We took some side trips for things of interest we saw and then simply resumed the tour.

Beautiful Trieste - Everything was perfect: from the weather to the tour we did. And the second time we do an experiment like this, and it's always very nice. So much information, so many photos and so many goodies to taste.

Worth doing if you have limited time in Trieste! - Nice walk through the city. Bit of a climb to the cathedral on a hot day! Take water. Not ton sure about American pronunciation of Trieste but on the whole a good thing to do with a spare few hours in the City.

Waste of money. - Waste of money. Couldn't find it when I got to Trieste then it didn't want to work. Better off going for a walk and randomly turning at each intersection.
