In Trieste, a relaxed atmosphere meets urban life with a holiday feel. Because what distinguishes the city from other large port cities is the access to the sea that local people have, both in terms of their attitude to life and in real terms. But nature lovers also get their money's worth: the largest show cave in the world, the "Grotta Gigante", is located in the nearby town of Sgonico and is well worth a visit. Its total length is 380 meters, the depth 160 meters.

Here are the most beautiful places of the italian Port city that you should definitely have seen once!

Harry's Piccolo" in the "Grand Hotel Duchi d'Aosta" can currently look forward to a second Michelin star. But the venerable house was already a magnet before that. The hotel's own pastry shop invites passers-by to sample the delicacies, and hotel guests return again and again due to the sheer splendor of the Grand Hotel, which has been considered the city's top address since 1873. duchi.eu
