The Trieste City Guides answer what visitors keep asking: where the city eats boiled pork with horseradish, how to order coffee without confusing the barista, when to head out to Miramare and the Karst, and where the evening goes after the aperitivo. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Gran Malabar
Piazza San Giovanni, near Piazza Goldoni
A wine bar where you drink standing up, with Carso, Collio and Slovenian wines by the glass and bread, cheese and ham on the house. This is how Trieste does aperitivo, and you will not spot a single spritz. From the food guide.
Molo Audace
Opposite Piazza Unità d’Italia
A long stone pier reaching straight out into the gulf, where locals perch on the bollards as the sun goes down. On clear days the Alps and the Istrian coast line the horizon, and it costs nothing. From the things to do guide.
Osmiza Stoka
Contovello, above Barcola
A farm tavern on the slope above the sea, pouring its own wine by the jug with home-cured meats, cheese and eggs, and a terrace that takes in the whole gulf. Like every osmiza, it opens only part of the year. From the nightlife guide.
Play the trail, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Trieste scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take over when the game is done: a pork roll at a buffet, a glass of Karst wine at the counter, the bus to Miramare or a walk out along the pier at sunset.
