Local Information
A presentation about Trieste can be seen: here
If you take a walk along the waterfront or on trails above the city, you will appreciate the varied panoramas and understand the city, not just from a scenic point of view, but from a cultural one as well.
The presence of monuments and landmarks, belonging to the diverse ethnic groups that have lived and mingled here since the 17th century, explains why, even today, Trieste is culturally ready to pave the way towards a new Humanistic era. With its performing-arts theatres, an opera house, museums, literary cafés, film and science festivals, the city offers a wide variety of daily activities.
Living in Trieste also means taking advantage of the many organisations and facilities geared towards lovers of the outdoors, such as swimming, rowing, snorkeling and scuba diving, horseback riding, spelunking, rock climbing, hiking, tennis and golf, not to mention sailing – the annual Barcolana regatta attracts thousands of racers from around the world. Moreover, if you love mountain biking, you can follow a number of cycling trails from the Karst down to the coasts of Slovenia and Croatia, as well as enjoy other surroundings that are also rich in history
