A Few Days in Trieste, Trieste, Italy
Trieste is a very Viennese or rather very Austro-Hungarian small city in Northern Italy,聽next to the Slovenian border. It is a gem to be discovered and enjoyed. A well-preserved old town that combines the central European style with its Roman origins and the sea.
