VENICE (Port of Trieste)
Trieste is a unique city with a rich history and culture, influenced by its varied past as part of different empires and countries. The city offers a range of attractions, including Roman ruins, beautiful nature parks, traditional cafes, and unique food.
Is Trieste the same as Venice?
Trieste is a coastal port city and Venice is made up of islands. Venice is touristy and Trieste isn’t so much, although it’s one of the most underrated cities in Europe in my opinion. Trieste has a beautiful piazza, nice walkable areas, a castle up on the hill that has great views if you walk up there,
What is there to do in Trieste?
Visit the Cathedral of San Giusto to see Byzantine mosaics and medieval frescoes. Pay a few euros to climb the cathedral tower, and you’ll be rewarded with sweeping sea views. You can also see the Roman Theatre, another impressive piece of history located right in the city center.
Should I visit Venice or Trieste?
Trieste is a small, quaint city with the ruins of a tiny Roman amphitheater by the Adriatic Sea. Venice is a beautiful city tainted slightly by the commercialism of tourism. Although my stay in Venice was one to remember, it gave me a greater appreciation for the local charm and pride of Trieste.
Venice, Italy, is romance: a bridge arching over a canal, a gondola gliding by, the moon reflecting off water. Venice is history: the Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace), Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, great art and great museums. Venice is modern: the headline names and paparazzi of the Venice Film Festival, the buzzing excitement of Carnival in the 10 days before Lent begins.
Venice has a plethora of world-famous museums and artistic treasures. The Basilica di San Marco, with its spectacular Golden Altar; the Bridge of Sighs, where prisoners could enjoy one last glimpse of the beautiful city before entering the dark jail; the Gallerie dell’Accademia, with its collection of art of the 14th-18th centuries; the Peggy Guggenheim Collection of 20th-century art—the list is long. Pick and choose which places you’ll visit in-depth, or just skim the surface and soak up the atmosphere.
Venice is set on islands connected by bridges, with the Grand Canal as its main thoroughfare, and traffic moves by boats that range from the traditional gondolas to refuse barges. The absence of automobile noise means you can hear the laughter of children from your window, as well as footsteps seemingly just around the corner. But what makes Venice so unique also challenges its existence. The rising sea levels of global climate change threaten the city, and now, more often than in the past, high tides from the Adriatic Sea can flood whole sections of the city.
Although the resident population in Venice has declined as many young people have moved to the mainland, where real-estate prices and the cost of living are lower, the city continues to draw tourists. In fact, the central areas can be packed, people may be brusque, and prices are high. Even so, Venice remains a treasure to be savored.
Venice: glamorous & hub of Art & Culture
One of the most impressive sights on Earth, Venice is known for its islands and canals, for enduring landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco, and for world-class events like the Venetian Carnival and the Venice Biennale.
