Holiday Inn Trieste Duino
Invented by a Hapsburg prince who declared the village with 600 homes a free port in 1719, Trieste became Europe's gateway to the sea and combined three cultures - Italian, Slavic and Central European. The old city centre historic cafes like Antico Caffe' degli Specchi that were the intellectual heart of the city are examples of this important past. Often forgotten and apparently sleepy town, Trieste is, on the contrary a very lively city. To relish the sights you should visit Piazza Unitá and the Canal Grande open-air market or cross the town aboard an amusing tram to see the lively Via XX Settembre street that is worthy of a bustling Spanish Boulevard.
