Things to do in Ronchi dei Legionari Airport
Trieste, set at the head of the Adriatic between Italy and Slovenia, is one of Europe's most atmospheric port cities with a strong Austro-Hungarian heritage. The magnificent Miramare Castle perched on a promontory above the sea, the Roman Arch of Riccardo, and the elegant Piazza Unità d'Italia (one of Europe's largest seafront squares) are accessible within the city. Trieste's literary café culture — frequented by James Joyce, Rilke, and Freud — is well-preserved.
