Discover Trieste and its famous Miramare Castle, as well known for its gardens and views as for its stately architecture and splendid rooms. Indeed, the castle's location on a cliff high above the sea is quite breathtaking.
Your outing begins with a panoramic drive to Trieste.
At Miramare Castle, you will learn about Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Hapsburg, who commissioned the castle in the second half of the 19th century. The castle was to be a residence for himself and his wife, Charlotte. Ornate décor and preserved original furnishings offer you a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy.
Take a guided tour of Trieste and enjoy some free time on your own to explore its historic streets before returning to Rijeka.
Notes:
Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars. Bring your passport on tour. Wear comfortable walking shoes. There are some steps to negotiate at the castle. Travel time to Trieste is approximately 1½ hours each way. During the summer season, delays and waits may occur at the border between Croatia and Slovenia.
