Overview

Join me (Sarah) or Max to explore Trieste, a hidden gem situated at the crossroads of Italy, Central Europe, and the Balkans.
A city shaped by empires, winds, and wandering souls, where every corner whispers a story. We’ll walk through Roman ruins, elegant Habsburg palaces, bohemian alleys, and along the sea breeze of the Adriatic.

You'll hear about our famous BORA wind, the world’s biggest regatta, and why ordering a coffee here is a cultural experience (Capo in B, anyone?).

We’ll discuss literary legends such as James Joyce, Italo Svevo, and Umberto Saba.

Bonus fun facts: jeans smugglers, rope-lined pavements (yes, for wind!), why Triestini say: “La vita che vojo xe a Barcola su un scojo" and why the city's motto is "No se pol"!
