Tourism

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Tourism is also a thriving sector. We promote and market tourist products and services offered by local operators to strengthen relationships and make introductions.
As a modern tourist destination, Trieste offers a variety of sights and attractions. It is the coffee capital of Italy, a title it has held for nearly 300 years. Beyond this, Trieste offers a wide range of activities, from sailing, windsurfing and cruises in the bay to trekking and climbing through the Karst Plateau.
Trieste’s architecture is similar to Vienna’s, with strong Neoclassical and Art Nouveau influences. Its headline attraction is the imperiously grand Piazza Unità d’Italia¸ Europe’s largest seafront square, but there is much to be seen in the Old City and the parks and gardens surrounding the castles.
In promoting Trieste throughout Italy and globally, with the aim of increasing numbers of visitors and events in the city, we will enhance its appeal further.
