Welcome to Trieste
Trieste is officially Italian, but this historic seaport juts deeply into neighboring Slovenia and has a uniquely multicultural feel. Italian and Slavic influences combine with Jewish, Austrian, and even Greek elements in the local architecture, cuisine, and dialect to form one of the most singular cities to tour in Europe. Its border location also makes it a popular base for exploring both Italian attractions—Venice and the Prosecco wine country top the list—and Slovenian highlights like Lake Bled, Ljubljana, the Postojna Cave, and the Predjama Castle.
