This is a truly gorgeous area of coastline, at its best at sunset. Tree clad hills cascade down to the blue waters of the Gulf and if you head up to one of the many viewpoints on the Carso the panoramas are spectacular. The coast is dotted with a series of small villages. Lovely.

We spent 2 days in Trieste to break up our week in Venice. Train connections (only 2 hours one way) made trip easy. Town was not crowded so it was a blessing after having spent a few days in crowded Venice. Hotel was excellent value, and restaurants were very good, large portions, quality food. The Port area nice. We spent evening relaxing eating Gelato watching sunset. The museum of Modern Art worthwhile. We didn't do the Castel Miramare, Tram or Green Dolphin Tour Boat. We just wanted to leisurely walk around town, no more travelling. But if you wanted to be more busy there's plenty of things to do. I would recommend for a 1 or 2 night layover. 2 days would be sufficient to do it all.

What a beautiful area to explore. There is a path all along the water stretching from the port all the way to Miramare and beyond. You can also take the #6 bus from Trieste center to the last stop and walk back. The bus drops you off in a pretty little marina with a very nice little restaurant. Principe Di Metternich is a great place for a glass of wine and a bit to eat while enjoying the water. Look for the giant jelly fish in the water. They are beautiful! The walk back starts with Miramare Castle. Take the self guided tour, 8 euro, and get the audio guide for a few more euro. The house and grounds are worth a stop. Continuing along the path back to town is very picturesque. Once you get back to the street you can pick up the #6 bus again, if you have had enough walking, and take it back to city center.

The Gulf of Trieste is a relatively shallow bay in the northern most part of the Adriatic Sea. Trieste is located on the Gulf which also runs the length of the Slovakian Adriatic seaboard.
It is geographically formed by running an invisible line from Punta Tagliamento (in Italy) to Savudrija (on the Croatian Coast). Its average depth is approximately 19 metres and its area is approximately 210 sq. kilometres.
Its waters, when we visited, were lovely shades of blue. You get great views of the Gulf from the Trieste waterfront, the walls of the Castle of San Giusto and the park near the Chiesa Di Santa Maria Assunta in Muggia amongst others.

When i initially boned-up on this mighty city, situated on a narrow strip, surrounded by the sweeping coastline of the Adriatic and the steep slopes that rise above it..... I saw images of paintings and drawings of the Grand Canal from centuries ago, which now as we stand looking up the canal at the neo-classic church of Sant' Antio, i am amazed at the duplicate image that resembled those paintings from the past.
I think its the moderate coastal climate, mixed with spells of winds that keep Triestians out of doors enjoying the waters, or hiking in the upper plains. For me it was the prospect of strong tasting sardines that had me salivating. There is a delighteful routine here, served mid-morning at inns and bars. Salamis, or prosciutto baked in a pastry dough and accompanied by a glass of wine, seems like the natural thing to do, don't you think?
After snacking, a tour of town becomes a smooth sail-past graceful sea-front palazzos, churches of all denominations, which indicates the rich cross pollination of its citizenry. After reviewing Castello di Miramare, we climbed up the San Giusto Hill for a tour of the Venetian castle of Amarina from which there is a dramatic panorama of views. nearby, the cathedral of San Giusti is well worth a looksie.
A trip out to the highlands of the Carso, near the fortress of Rupinop offered a wonderful opportunity to lunch sampling Eastern European "authentic" Trieste cuisine. Sweet and sour was the order of the day. Gnocchi with plums, venison goulash and shin of pork went down a treat. Aussie-slang for 'great tasting'.
While ambling about outside Trieste, we checked out Duino Bay, the Roman aqueduct, the spectacular Grotta Gigante, the Falls of Val Rosandra which led to the Basilica and Duomo of Muggia, revelling in the fascinating Karst limestone caves characterised by sinkholes and mysterious caverns .
Two days stay is a requiem in Trieste, a requirement that should be enshrined by law. We indulged for four at the Grand Hotel Duchi d'Aosta, an ideal place located on the Piazza dell'Unitad d'Italia. Its a quaint, classic palazzo in the Central European style. Considering my Hungarian roots it felt unusually like home.

A truly beautiful gulf with wedding-cake Miramare Castle jutting out on a small promontory and the oft dnow-capped Alps in the distance. It is especially beautiful at night when the lights reflect romantically over the water, and really magic when viewed from the obelisk in Opicina. The coastal road leading to it is considered to be among the most beautiful in Europe/the world.

My partner and I spent 3 nights in Trieste, this was probably one of the highlights of our trip. We didn't expect much coming from a low key city, but to our surprise Trieste was just amazing. We visited the Miramare castle and the castle & cathedral of San Giusto. Very beautiful attractions in trieste and highly recommended. We thought before travelling here that 3 nights was enough, but I could have spent a week in Trieste. It's not over crowded which is fabulous and the food there was mind blowing. Seafood in Trieste in always fresh and the best can be found in restaurants away from the city centre. Trieste is the city of coffee so make sure when you visit this place that you sit at a cafe for a while enjoying a cafe latte or macchiato, freshly baked biscuits and baked bread. Beautiful place and is a must to visit while in italy.

When thinking of Italy, most tourists still only think of the standards (Florence, Rome, Venice), and so few realize that close to Venice (less than 90 minutes) Trieste is full of surprises. The gulf is great. To see it from the water, just take one of those little ferries that go from Trieste to Sistiane, and you have a great experience, and not too costly. Landscape, the carso and scenery are great, and then go to discover the centuries auf Austro-Habsburgian history in the city, and do not miss the little villages along the coast and in the carso: Many of them have a Slovenian-Austrian feeling, most of all the little wine bars. Do not miss!

Beautiful with almost every atmospheric condition. If the wind is calm it can become a beautiful flat mirror while when the bora arrives it can become a boiling pot. The best way to enjoy it is by resting on the molo audace while waiting for the sunset.
