Great tour at your own leisure
Debora T, Apr 2025
I loved that you could do the tour at your own pace, so could stop for an aperitif along the way. The links to google maps, to get you to the next location, were really useful. I would highly recommend this tour.
Informative, great...
Angello_R, Apr 2025
Informative, great suggestions and freedom to do whatever you want at your own pace. You can of course follow the trip entirely or not, it is up to you which I happen to like
Dreadful American accent
Miriam_S, Apr 2025
This is good if you have a few hours to kill and want to see the main sights. A bit of history, handy Google map directions to each location and audio and video for each stop. The food and restaurant commentary is handy … BUT if you exit the house you have to start at the begging to get back into it again and BE WARNED annoyingly the narrator isn’t Italian. Instead it’s an American who can’t pronounce any of the locations , sites or even Trieste correctly. It’s so bad it’s bordering on offensive. And the hyper excited high pitched interjections by the developer ? are cringe worthy. Personally I don’t want to hear anything other than a local ITALIAN ACCENT when in Itally.

The digital guide works well and comprehensively describes the city of Trieste. I highly recommend the experience for visiting
Itinerary
Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia
Welcome to the Europe’s largest open sea square (12280 square metres!). The square is so beautiful that it would be worth coming to Trieste just to see it. But many more attractions await us!
20 minutesArco di Riccardo
An ancient Roman gate probably dating back to the 1st century A.D., opened in the ancient walls of the Roman Tergeste, built by Augustus in 33 B.C.
10 minutesCattedrale di San Giusto Martire
This stands on the top of the hill of the same name, which was already the acropolis of the Roman city of Tergeste and probably the site of a sacred area. The present building, with five naves, is the result of the unification, in the early 14th century, of two separate religious complexes.
20 minutesCastello di San Giusto
One of the most representative symbols of the city, San Giusto Castle stands on the hill of the same name overlooking the city, its gulf and its hinterland.
The entrance ticket (not included) costs €6: if you want to enjoy a beautiful view of the gulf it is worth it!
20 minutesTeatro Romano di Trieste
The Roman theatre in Trieste is located at the foot of San Giusto hill, in the heart of the city, on the edge of the historic area.
20 minutesThroughout the 19th century, this area was the economic heart of Trieste. Today it is an elegant square with several interesting buildings and some interesting facts that I will tell you about!
20 minutesChiesa Serbo Ortodossa Di San Spiridione
Amazing building in the centre of the city. The church of St Spiridione is built in the shape of a Greek cross, reflecting the Byzantine style of eastern churches and has a central dome that is higher than the four bell towers.
20 minutesCommonly called ‘Sant’Antonio Nuovo’, it takes its name from an earlier church dating back to the mid 18th century. Built between 1828 and 1849, the new church was inspired by the classical majesty of important Roman monuments.
20 minutesCanale Grande
The Grand Canal, 370 metres long and 28 metres wide is a symbol of the city: a walk along its banks is a must!
15 minutesMolo Audace - Gia "Molo S. Carlo"
A walkway over the sea of over 200 metres, a magical place to take a walk and oxygenate yourself at any time of day, in any season, and be enchanted watching the autumn sunsets when the palaces of the Rive are tinged with red, or if you are a real daredevil, run braving the bora at 100km/h to get to the top of the wind rose and see if you can stand!
