About Trieste
Trieste is a grand Austro-Hungarian port city at the northern tip of the Adriatic, with sweeping neoclassical architecture, a literary heritage linked to James Joyce, and one of Italy's most celebrated coffee cultures. The city's Piazza Unità d'Italia, one of the largest seafront squares in Europe, is within easy walking distance of the cruise terminal. Nearby Miramare Castle, perched on a cliff above the sea, is a popular half-day excursion.
