Romantic Weekend in Trieste

Day 1

🌅 Day 1

Our first "romantic" day in Trieste will take us on 4 walks 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ that overlap and complement each other. The first three routes are centered around the historic center 🏛️ and will guide us to discover ancient Trieste, just a few meters from the sea 🌊.

1️⃣ The first route, called "Trieste Center, The Elegant Living Room", is a gift of emotions 💝 that should definitely be placed among the "must-sees." Starting from Piazza Unità d'Italia 🏰, we will walk among the neoclassical palaces 🏤 of Trieste, staying always close to the sea, the city's quintessential natural element 🌞. Magical at sunset 🌇, when the sun sets, the colors become fiery 🔥 and the water transforms into a mirror reflecting the colors of the buildings 🏘️. This is the moment when Trieste becomes even more magical ✨.

2️⃣ The second route will unveil another unique feature of Trieste: its HISTORIC CAFÉS ☕️, scattered throughout the different neighborhoods 🏘️. Each café has a story to tell 📖, often intertwined with the city's political history 🗳️. This route is an invitation to explore 🎭: you can follow the suggested path or choose the HISTORIC CAFÉ that inspires you the most 🌟. An authentic experience that will engage all your senses—not just taste! 😋

3️⃣ The third route winds through the medieval city 🏰 of old Tergeste (Trieste's ancient name). Starting from Piazza Unità d'Italia 🏛️, we'll venture through the alleys of Cavana and the Jewish Ghetto 🌆, climbing up to San Giusto Castle 🏯. And for dinner? 🍽️ No problem! Along the way, we'll find restaurants 🍕🍝, pizzerias, and local eateries ready to offer dishes for every taste—from vegan 🥗 to seafood 🐟, and even meat 🥩.

4️⃣ The fourth and final route of the day: Trieste by night 🌙✨. We will retrace some of the streets we've already seen, but with a completely transformed atmosphere 🌌. Night changes everything 🌃: the places closed during the day come alive 🍹, and vice versa. This walk will be a chance to find a trendy spot 🥂 or a cozy venue to enjoy a happy evening among friends 🎉.

Day 2

🌅 Day 2

1️⃣ Let's begin our second day of walks 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ with a route starting from Piazza Unità d'Italia 🏛️, following the sea 🌊, until we reach the base of the city's old lighthouse, known as the "lanterna" 🏮. 🌟 Each route we propose is designed to be a somewhat educational experience 📘, combining pleasure with learning. 📍 Walking around Trieste, we will come across several attractions, including:

1. The Salone degli Incanti with its cultural exhibitions 🎨,

2. The Revoltella Museum 🖼️,

3. And the Railway Museum 🚂.

2. 🌈 When we reach the area near the lighthouse, we’ll be able to say we've seen the famous 'Pedocin' 🏖️: the last beach facility in Europe 🌍 where men and women have two separate beaches, divided by a wall 🧱 to prevent contact.

   ☕️ For breakfast, we'll be spoiled for choice! The long tree-lined avenues 🌳 along the waterfront are dotted with cafés ☕, croissants 🥐, freshly squeezed juices 🍊, and breakfasts of all kinds and flavors. 🍴 For coffee enthusiasts, besides the historic cafés visited the day before, during the walk we’ll encounter EATALY 🍷: the old wine warehouse, fully restored and converted into a gastronomic showcase with a stunning sea-facing glass window 🌊.

   2️⃣ In the afternoon, we'll finally dedicate ourselves to the monument par excellence of Trieste 🌟: the most well-known, clicked-on, searched-for, and loved 🏰 Miramare Castle. 📜 We will visit its Museum and its fabulous park 🌳🌺.
