Vienna by the sea is an association that is often heard with Trieste. In fact, even the Viennese themselves say that it feels like home here. This is largely due to the Ringstrasse architecture and the architecture of the entire Borgo Teresiano district, which the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa had built here in the mid-18th century.

You have to know that Trieste was under the rule of the Habsburgs/Austrians for almost 500 years (from 1382 to 1918). This means that the Austrians had access to the sea here and Trieste was and is an important trading city for this reason. After the First World War, the city became Italian, after the Second World War it became Yugoslavian for a few years, and from 1954 onwards it was annexed to Italy again.

During the Eastern Bloc era, the city was somewhat isolated due to its location at the furthest corner of Italy. It was only after the Iron Curtain was opened that the routes, for example to Austria, became shorter again. Nowadays, you can drive directly through nearby Slovenia (which is of course also worth a trip).

In terms of tourism, Trieste is an absolute gem: beautiful, but not overcrowded and with lots of options. There is the beautiful nature in the surrounding area, magnificent architecture, museums and of course the gastronomy. You will of course find Italian cuisine in Trieste, but also international cuisine thanks to the cultural mix. And here you can also find the best coffee in the world.

I wrote a separate post about this:

In addition, I have written an article about our short hike on the Rilke hiking trail including a visit to the Castello di Duino.

And of course there is also something here about the favorite destination of all Trieste visitors, the

Castello di Miramare, read about me. Sissi always felt very comfortable in this little castle.

We spent a total of 4 nights in Trieste, but it could have been more. Dolce Vita, instead of the hustle and bustle of Milan, plus Austrian flair paired with Eastern European influences.

We loved it a lot!
