8 landmarks Day trips: 3 48 restaurants 33 parking spots

Trieste is an Italian city on the border with Slovenia, shaped by a profound Habsburg legacy that sets it apart from every other city in Italy. A captivating blend of Viennese elegance, Adriatic coastline, and Mediterranean rhythm gives it a truly one-of-a-kind atmosphere — Piazza Unità d'Italia is the largest seafront square in Europe, while the romantic Miramare Castle rising from the water's edge looks as though it stepped straight out of a fairy tale. Trieste is also a shrine to Italian espresso culture (home of Illy) and an ideal base for exploring the northern Adriatic.
