Description
A Trieste guided walking tour with coffee gives you the city's character in about two and a half hours, which suits travellers arriving by cruise ship with limited time. It starts at Elisabeth Hospitality on Via Diaz, in the middle of the centre, and the guide leads you on foot from there.
The route goes through the old town and its most elegant streets, with sea views along the way. The guide tells the story of Trieste as an international harbour with a Central European influence, and of ancient Tergeste. You see Piazza Unità d'Italia and its historic buildings, the outside of the Roman Theatre, and the hill of San Giusto with the cathedral and the Roman Forum area. Piazza della Borsa and Via Cavana are on the way too.
The break in a historic café on Piazza Unità d'Italia is the centrepiece. In Trieste, coffee is part of daily life and memory, and the café lets you sit in the kind of grand room once frequented by travellers, merchants and writers.
- Coffee for each participant in a historic café
- Free luggage storage while the tour lasts
- Walk ending in the centre, handy for lunch, shopping or the ship
