Trieste is a mid-sized city that lies in the Northeast part of Italy, near the border to Slovenia. It has a beautiful and dramatic setting between the Adriatic Sea, the head of the Gulf of Trieste and mountains. In the 1960s, Trieste became an important research location, with a university and international school. Trieste is one of the wealthiest cities in Italy. The upper parts of the city are very hilly, while the city center is more flat.
Since Trieste is somewhat isolated geographically from the rest of Italy it is overlooked by many tourists, but has much to offer and since large cruising ships are not allowed to stop in Venice anymore, you can see huge cruising ships right in the city center, opposite the main square, creating increasing tourism! During our visit the enormous MSC Spendida was in the harbour. Illy, a famous Italian coffee brand, was developed by Francesco Illy in Trieste, and illy has several cafés and stores in the city, and the headquarters are in Trieste.

Trieste is not a typical Italian city. Until 1918 it was the 4th largest city in Austria-Hungary and the most important port city in the powerful Habsburg Dynasty, 1382-1918. Today (2021) it is Italy’s 15th largest city. It is considered the endpoint of the Maritime Silk Road. Because of its past there are much Austrian architecture in Trieste, including large palaces. Especially many large and grandiose palaces in Austrian style can be found along the perimeter of Trieste’s main square.
