Meeting Point
We will start our tour from the main square of the city!
Piazza Unità d'Italia, 34121 Trieste TS , Italy
What to expect
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Piazza della Borsa
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!
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.
Church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo
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.
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!
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!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
