For five hundred years, Trieste was not Italian. It was a Habsburg free port, a city where merchants paid almost no tax. Greek, Serbian, Jewish and Armenian traders built almost every grand palace you will see.
This self-guided audio walking tour of Trieste puts a friendly narrator in your pocket and gives you 19 stops to explore at your own pace. Stand on the pier where Italy first claimed the city in 1918. Find the square where Mussolini announced the racial laws. Trace three fountains by a single sculptor. Hear how a Hungarian veteran invented modern espresso here.
The app works offline. Pause for a coffee, photos, or just to sit in a piazza. There is no fixed start time and no group to keep up with.
