TRIESTE TOURS

Begin your day at Pier Audace, where you’ll hop on a comfortable, open-top bus with panoramic views of Trieste’s beautiful coastline and vibrant cityscape. With an audio guide in four languages, you’ll pass iconic spots like Piazza Unità d’Italia and cruise through Trieste’s historic streets. Enjoy the freedom to hop off at places like San Giusto Hill, where you can take in sweeping views of the castle and cathedral. Continue the journey, passing the Faro della Vittoria lighthouse and the Grand Canal, surrounded by colorful buildings and lively cafés. When you’re ready, head to Miramare Castle for an unforgettable visit. Stroll through its 54-acre park filled with exotic plants, then explore the castle’s impressive rooms, like Maximilian’s Chambers and Charlotte’s Music Room, with their original 19th-century furnishings. Wander the greenhouses, stables, and charming 'Castelletto' within the grounds. Afterward, rejoin the bus to finish your city tour or explore more of Trieste’s attractions at your own pace. This combo is a perfect blend of culture, history, and flexibility for a full day of discovery.

Step into the timeless elegance of Miramare Castle, a Habsburg retreat built between 1856 and 1860 for Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and his wife, Charlotte. As you explore the graceful white castle overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, the 54-acre park surrounding it unfolds like a living collection of the archduke’s travels as an admiral, with exotic plants and scenic pathways. Inside, wander through over 20 lavish rooms, from Maximilian’s Chambers to Charlotte’s Music Room, each steeped in 19th-century charm. The Gothic, Medieval, and Renaissance architectural styles blend seamlessly, with intricate furnishings capturing the era. Outside, the park invites you to explore restored stables, delicate greenhouses, and the enchanting ‘Castelletto’—a cozy castle-within-a-castle that retains touches of Austrian heritage.
