Trieste, Italy in Feb
So Jet'Dillo has been invited to speak at a conference in Trieste. I'm likely to be on my own to amuse myself for a few days. I've looked at a few tourist web pages and all I see for winter is ski resorts (I don't ski) and maybe a museum or two.
Any suggetions? Recommended English resources? I can muddle through Italian if I must with a good dictionary at hand, but I'm by no means good at it. (Between nonna and opera I've picked up a bit, but I still failed basic Italian in school.) I guess in the meantime I'll just have to hang out in little North Beach cafes working on my language skills! http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif |
Train to Venice?

Trieste isn't incredibly interesting as Italian cities go. Udine is within range of a day trip and worth such, also Cividale near there is a unspoilt gem.
Around Trieste are some caves. A better plan is to head into Slovenia, where there is a world famous cave at Postojna. These caves are only an hour or so from Trieste but I am not sure about transport links. Slovenia generally is very pleasant to visit, but there are infrequent trains from Trieste, making daytrips a little difficult. Perhaps there are buses. Buon viaggio |
