Travel by coach to Miramare Castle, completed in 1860 for Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg and his wife Carlotta. Inside you'll see magnificent rooms still displaying the original furnishings, works of art, and décor. Next, you'll visit St. Giusto Cathedral, which dates back to the 9th century. Then, you'll journey into the heart of Trieste. With your guide you'll take in such sights as the Greek Orthodox Church of San Nicolò, the Galleria del Tergesteo, the Piazza Borsa and the former Jewish Ghetto.
