Impressive Neoclassical buildings, boulevards and piazzas are everywhere you look in this elegant port city. The best way to start your day in Trieste is with a coffee. The city is said to have the finest coffee in the whole of Italy and sampling a cup or two in its beautiful Belle Époque cafes is an absolute delight. After your coffee take a walk along the Canal Grande, or head to the superbly decadent Miramare Castle – a vanity project of the Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg. At the end of the day, make your way to the monumental Piazza Unità d’Italia – the largest sea-facing plaza in Italy – for an aperitivo. At night, when the lights of the piazza reflect onto the water, the atmosphere is simply magical.
