Difficult parking on weekends but somehow always manage to get a spot.....Beautiful view of the city, convenient kiosks with snacks and drinks....and every few meters the historical half circle changing coves with free showers and wc....The water is usually quite clean, especially for being so close to a major town. I suppose because the shipping business ain't what it used to be....The harbor is pretty quiet.

A highly recommended activity in Trieste is a hike along the 3,7km long 'Via Napoleonica' or officially the 'Strada Vicentina' - not to be confounded with the 230km long 'Via Vicentina' along Portugal's Atlantic Coast all the way to the Cabo de Sâo Vicente, Europe's southwest corner. The path here got its name from the engineer Giacomo Vicentini, who designed the route, although generally more often used is the name 'Via Napoleonica', since it is believed that French troops in the times of Napoleon had started its construction. We began our walk from the village of Prosecco, at the bus stop 'Strada per Monte Grisa', to where bus 44 had brought us from the Piazza Oberdan in Trieste. Pretty soon one gets to the Strada Vicentina, a quite level and easy path on the edge of the carst with the typical rocks and vegetation, but on top with a superb view of the coastline. The city of Trieste is often visible, but also the Castello di Miramare or the Faro della Vittoria. En route one passes the lookout 'Vedetta Italia' and the 'Santuario Nazionale a Maria Madre e Regina', where one can go for a coffee. There are also fortifications from WWII, a 'Via Crucis', and a Via Robert Baden-Powell, honouring the founder of the Scout Movement. The 'Strada Vicentina' ends at the Obelisco di Opicina, from where bus 4 takes one back to Trieste.

About a 30 minute drive from Trieste is the Grotta Gigante. This is a truly unique, amazing, massive cave that photos don’t do justice to. Be aware that there are 500 steps down and then up. If one is fit, this is not a problem as the guides stop periodically going down and try not to hurry you going back up. If you have some issues with your feet, knees, or shortness of breath, etc. then it might be better to take a trip instead to Postojna Cave in Slovenia which has a train to take visitors around. In terms of impressive size, Grotta Gigante is well worth the visit if you can do the steps. From entrance into the cave to exit, the whole visit lasts just a little over an hour.
