Do guides explain the city’s Austro-Hungarian past and multicultural heritage?
Yes, Trieste has a unique blend of Italian, Slavic, and Austro-Hungarian influences, which means that the city's multicultural heritage and Habsburg-Austro-Hungarian past are central themes in many of our tours. Since this heritage is so important to Trieste's identity, our local guides are eager to share stories about the Austro-Hungarian era, multicultural communities, and how they have influenced the city's architecture and culture.
Are English tours in Trieste available daily?
Yes, we have several English-language tours that begin around 10:00 AM and run tip-based. However, we do not guarantee English tours are available every single day, as times and availability can vary with guide schedules and season.
