Trieste

Visiting North Italy you cannot miss it.  It’s a lovely city and seaport where many surprises are waiting to be discovered by you. The most impressive one is the marvelous white castle just at the side of the sea, likewise the place where Disney princess Ariel lived after the marriage to prince Eric. This pearl of architecture was built in the middle of XIX century on request of Emperor Franz Josef’s brother, who later became Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico, and his wife. Another aspect of the beauty of Trieste is its love to coffee. The residents of this city are among the greatest coffee drinkers in Italy (after Naples). If you like the Illy brand of coffee you should try it in the place of its origin and the best ambience for doing that you will find in one of the former Viennese coffee houses. However, you need to remember one thing: in Trieste they have their own names for the variety of ways that coffee can be prepared and sometimes they even give a different meaning to a common known denomination. For instance, if we want to get a cappuccino we should ask a caffelatte.
