Whether you’re drawn to the modern art at the Museo Revoltella or the natural wonders at the Museo di Storia Naturale, you'll have the chance to delve into the rich culture and history of this timeless city.

Afterward, hop back on the HopTour bus at the nearest stop and let it transport you along the coast to one of Trieste’s most iconic destinations: the majestic Miramare Castle.

Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel

After a delightful breakfast at the hotel, get ready for a day that will let you discover Trieste from an entirely new perspective: from the sea. After checking out, head towards the Rive, where a motorboat awaits to take you to the picturesque Muggia, a touch of Venice on the sea of Trieste. This charming town, located just beyond the border with Slovenia, will amaze you with its Venetian-like atmosphere, visible in its architecture, traditions, and even the local dialect.
Once you arrive, take your time to stroll through the narrow streets of the historic center, where the appeal of the past blends with the vibrant everyday life.

For lunch, enjoy a meal at a typical Muggia restaurant, where you can savor the freshest seafood dishes, prepared according to local traditions enriched by Venetian and Istrian influences.

After lunch, you'll have a bit more time to explore Muggia, perhaps stopping in one of its characteristic little squares for a coffee, before boarding the motorboat for the return trip to Trieste and your home city.
