This is the last day of our cruise. At 9 am we were docking just near Stazione Marittima in Trieste. I took nice pictures of the coastal promenade from the deck 11. After light breakfast, saying goodbye to the friends and crew I passed the gangway. Before afternoon bus to Ljubliana I had enough time to walk around the central part of Trieste.
Trieste is picturesque place, open to the sea. The heart of the city is Canale Grande. Important Piazza Unita is located just nearby. This Canale Grande is much shorter than the one in Venice and not used for transport. On bothe sides there are ornate palaces and open air cafes on the sidewalks, where the people enjoy the sun and chat. Piazza Unita is wide and monumental, surrounded by the banks, museums and government buildings. San Antonio classical church stands at the end of the channel, bus surprisely on the right bank you will see Serb orthodox church, even bigger than San Antonio… Houses in the central Trieste are high and often have rich decorations on the facades. In front of the station there is little park with the monument of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (famous Sissi). Homeless people sleep around in sleeping bags
Left – luggage room in the station building is closed, so my wandering with the luggage around the city was limited. I hope that my Flixbus to Ljubliana will be on time. 🙂
