Love Trieste. It is beautiful and has an interesting history. There are lots of wonderful nearby places for day trips. Best of all, it is a wonderful city that is almost completely undiscovered by tourists.

Trieste needs more information centre points. At attraction points needs more transportation facilities like Miramare castle. But overall it exceeded my expectations with attractions , foods, restaurants and the cafe places they have.

Had read that Trieste has flown under the radar as a destination. My wife and I loved the vibe of the city and will definitely return. The area around the hotel has many small cafes to sit and relax with a glass of wine.
"We used this as a one night stop over, basic but was a great option in a great location. Friendly staff, quick and easy to check in. Wanted to experience a hostel and this is a great one to have chosen. "
"This was the absolutely perfect place for cruisers. It is within walking distance of the port, in an historic part of town with plenty of interesting shops and restaurants. Trieste is quite lovely and we wish we had more time to explore. The apartment was spacious and it exceeded our expectations."
"The stay was fantastic! The view was amazing! The spa service was so personal and private! Quiet hotel with restaurant that makes it convenient. Loved it! "
"We enjoyed our stay at the Modernist Hotel. Easy access to many areas! Room was large and comfortable. We felt bad because bathroom floor does flood a bit when taking a shower."
