Discover Trieste on a walking tour

So you decided to take a look around Trieste? Let me tell you that it is the best decision you can make on your holiday. By the end of my tour, most people are amazed by the versatility of this town and wish they could stay for longer. Why is that? We don't only have history here, but we have the sea, we have the mountains, and thanks to the unique past of this area, we have a real mix of cultural scene.


On our walk, you will learn about the layers of history that shaped Trieste. You will get to see the remains of the Roman Empire, learn about the creation of the Free Port and then the Free State of Trieste, and find out why Maria Theresa was a local celebrity in the area. We will touch on some serious topics and some fun facts. For example, the reason why Trieste is called the city of coffee, or what on Earth Bora is, and how it affects the everyday life of Triestians.


All in all, I will give you the opportunity to take in a comprehensive view of the Gulf of Trieste. Both literally and metaphorically.


If all this sounds good, book a tour with me and I'll be waiting for you at the iconic Grand Canal of Trieste to take you on this journey. 

See you there!

Guiding since 2025
My name is Orsi and I am a professional tour guide in Italy. I live in the beautiful town of Trieste. What I love about my job is seeing the faces of people enlightened as they hear the stories and secrets I share about the places they visit. I am from Hungary, so I have the privilege of holding both an outsider's and a local's viewpoint. Therefore, I know about the things that are worth mentioning because they might sound interesting or surprising to travellers who would like to immerse themselves in the local culture and history.
