Benvenuti Crocieristi: un assaggio di Trieste.

The itinerary proposed by NET-Esperienze a Nord Est begins in Trieste , a cosmopolitan city full of surprises. We will cross its historic center with its fascinating squares, before meeting our driver to reach the Colle di San Giusto and then the Sanctuary of Monte Grisa , a twentieth-century construction in Brutalist style from which you have an exceptional view of the Gulf of Trieste , the Miramare Castle and nearby Slovenia and Croatia.

After a lunch with typical products on the Trieste Karst, the guided excursion will lead us to the fascinating Rilke Path , dedicated to the great Austrian-Bohemian poet, starting from Sistiana and arriving in the town of Duino. The scenic walk runs along the northern end of the Adriatic Sea
within the Duino Cliffs Nature Reserve; from a naturalistic point of view, it offers the possibility of closely observing the karst phenomenon while being able to enjoy the constant contribution of the sea.

Once we reach Duino, we will visit its 14th century castle . and its fascinating park; crossing the courtyard, we will walk along the Palladio Staircase, the 1810 fortepiano on which Franz Liszt played and the extraordinary panorama that we can admire from its bastions, from Punta Salvore to beyond the mouth of the Isonzo river.

To make sure we don’t miss anything, we will also visit the bunker , built in 1943 by the German Kriegsmarine.
