What to expect

1
Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia

Welcome to the Europe’s largest open sea square (12280 square metres!). The square is so beautiful that it would be worth coming to Trieste just to see it. But many more attractions await us!

Duration 20 minutes
2

Arco di Riccardo

An ancient Roman gate probably dating back to the 1st century A.D., opened in the ancient walls of the Roman Tergeste, built by Augustus in 33 B.C.

Duration 10 minutes
3

Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire

This stands on the top of the hill of the same name, which was already the acropolis of the Roman city of Tergeste and probably the site of a sacred area. The present building, with five naves, is the result of the unification, in the early 14th century, of two separate religious complexes.

Duration 20 minutes
4

Castello di San Giusto

One of the most representative symbols of the city, San Giusto Castle stands on the hill of the same name overlooking the city, its gulf and its hinterland. The entrance ticket (not included) costs €6: if you want to enjoy a beautiful view of the gulf it is worth it!

Duration 20 minutes
Admission Admission Not Included
5

Teatro Romano di Trieste

The Roman theatre in Trieste is located at the foot of San Giusto hill, in the heart of the city, on the edge of the historic area.

Duration 20 minutes

Piazza della Borsa

<nil>

Throughout the 19th century, this area was the economic heart of Trieste. Today it is an elegant square with several interesting buildings and some interesting facts that I will tell you about!

Duration 20 minutes
7

Chiesa Serbo Ortodossa Di San Spiridione

Amazing building in the centre of the city. The church of St Spiridione is built in the shape of a Greek cross, reflecting the Byzantine style of eastern churches and has a central dome that is higher than the four bell towers.

Duration 20 minutes
8

Church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo

<nil>

Commonly called ‘Sant’Antonio Nuovo’, it takes its name from an earlier church dating back to the mid 18th century. Built between 1828 and 1849, the new church was inspired by the classical majesty of important Roman monuments.

Duration 20 minutes
9

Canale Grande

The Grand Canal, 370 metres long and 28 metres wide is a symbol of the city: a walk along its banks is a must!

Duration 15 minutes
10
Molo Audace - Gia "Molo S. Carlo"

A walkway over the sea of over 200 metres, a magical place to take a walk and oxygenate yourself at any time of day, in any season, and be enchanted watching the autumn sunsets when the palaces of the Rive are tinged with red, or if you are a real daredevil, run braving the bora at 100km/h to get to the top of the wind rose and see if you can stand!

Duration 15 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
