96 Best and Fun Things To Do In Trieste, Italy


TouristWire Editors

Sitting on a small piece of land situated between the Slovenian border and the Adriatic seascape is the urban metropolis of Trieste.

As a result of its geographical location, it’s home to several distinct cultural identities, including Italian, Austro-Hungarian, and Slovenian groups.

The influence of these cultural groups can be seen in the layout of the town, which includes a neoclassical Austrian district and a medieval old city.

At the time of writing, Trieste was one of the safest and most prosperous cities in Italy as a result of its extensive port and commercial shipping trade.

Its scenic seaside locations and interesting museums also make it one of the most popular places to visit.

As with many places in Italy, Trieste is also home to some amazing cafés and coffee shops.

In addition, a visit here wouldn’t be complete without treating yourself to a few scoops of the city’s world-class gelato!

Think this could be the place for you on your next trip to Italy? Check out our list of suggestions below on what to do and where to go so you don’t miss out on anything Trieste has to offer
