Trieste Old Town
Trieste’s old town climbs the hill behind Piazza Unita to the Castello di San Giusto (free grounds, modest museum fee) and the Roman Theater (free to see from the street). The literary cafes (Caffe San Marco, Caffe degli Specchi) where James Joyce wrote parts of Ulysses and Italo Svevo drank coffee are part of the city’s identity. Budget travelers walk from the seafront square up through the old town and discover a city that produced more literature per capita than any other in Europe.
