The hotel is a bit out of the city centre, about a 15 minute walk to the main square, but that didn\u2019t bother us much.&nbsp;<strong>Room Tip:<\/strong> We\u2019d suggest asking for the rooms on the top floor if you can! Our room was on the fifth and last floor, and it was really so nice and also super spacious, which is unusual for a city hotel. We even had a mini balcony! Also, we rarely come across such comfortable hotel beds, so we slept very well here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hotel-Victoria-Triest-Balkon.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" id=\"7672\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-7672 size-large is--landscape aligncenter\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hotel-Victoria-Triest-Balkon-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hotel-Victoria-Triest-Balkon-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hotel-Victoria-Triest-Balkon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hotel-Victoria-Triest-Balkon-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hotel-Victoria-Triest-Balkon.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/878;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Victoria-Hotel-Trieste.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"878\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" id=\"7712\" width=\"1200\" height=\"878\" class=\" wp-image-7712 size-large is--landscape aligncenter\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Victoria-Hotel-Trieste-1024x749.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Victoria-Hotel-Trieste-1024x749.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Victoria-Hotel-Trieste-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Victoria-Hotel-Trieste-768x562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Victoria-Hotel-Trieste.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck-Hotel-Victoria.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" id=\"7676\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-7676 size-large is--landscape aligncenter\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck-Hotel-Victoria-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck-Hotel-Victoria-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck-Hotel-Victoria-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck-Hotel-Victoria-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck-Hotel-Victoria.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Excursion Tips from Trieste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excursion to the Castello di Miramare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to the famous <strong>Castello di Miramare<\/strong> is definitely a must when visiting Trieste. The castle is located on the coast, north of the city. Thanks to the advice of our hotel manager, Lorenzo, we took <strong>a boat from Trieste<\/strong> (&#8220;Delfino verde&#8221;) to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boats to Castello di Miramare leave directly from the port of Trieste at 8:00, 11:00, 14:30 and 17:30. Note: the boats only run in the summer season. We have marked the location for you, of where the boats depart from, in our travel map at the end of the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also reach the castle by train. The ride takes about half an hour and costs about 4.25 euros per person &#8211; one way. The station you want is called Grignano. For us, the boat trip was definitely <strong>the best decision<\/strong> because we had a completely <strong>new and unique view of Trieste<\/strong>, the coast and the Miramare Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\"

Unfortunately, the view was quite clouded during our visit. The church itself is also interesting to look at with its peculiar concrete architecture, but the highlight here is undoubtedly the panoramic view of Trieste and the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to reach the Sanctuary of Monte Grisa is <strong>by car<\/strong>, which takes about 20 minutes from the centre of Trieste. Our tip: Combine the visit with either a visit to Miramare (if by car) or a visit to the viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Monte-Grisa.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43644\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"43644\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" wp-image-43644 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Monte-Grisa-684x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Monte-Grisa-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Monte-Grisa-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Monte-Grisa-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Monte-Grisa.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Monte Grisa\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kirche-Ausblick-Triest.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43643\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"43643\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" wp-image-43643 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kirche-Ausblick-Triest-684x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kirche-Ausblick-Triest-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kirche-Ausblick-Triest-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kirche-Ausblick-Triest-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kirche-Ausblick-Triest.jpg 801w\" alt=\"View Trieste\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excursion to Muggia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you long for a bit of local small town Italian life amongst the rather touristy and bustling city of Trieste, then you should definitely do a trip to Muggia.

In the coffee empire of Italy, Trieste is considered its capital. Allegedly, there is nowhere else in Italy that drinks more coffee than in Trieste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To really celebrate the coffee culture here in Trieste, there is a pretty cool idea called the <b>Coffee Pass<\/b>. You can buy the pass at the tourist office near Piazza dell&#8217;Unit\u00e0 d&#8217;Italia (or at Trieste airport and in some hotels) for 5 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the coffee pass, you can get a coffee of your choice in seven traditional cafes. Coffee for Italians, is typically drunk while standing at the counter. But be warned: the people of Trieste speak their own coffee language: what we know as Espresso Macchiato is called \u201cCapo&#8221; in Trieste, and an espresso is to them &#8220;Caff\u00e8 Nero&#8221;.

The cheaper pizzas cost about 7 to 8 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Pizzeria-Da-Gino-Triest.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" id=\"7704\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" wp-image-7704 size-large is--landscape aligncenter\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Pizzeria-Da-Gino-Triest-1024x684.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Pizzeria-Da-Gino-Triest-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Pizzeria-Da-Gino-Triest-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Pizzeria-Da-Gino-Triest-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Pizzeria-Da-Gino-Triest.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
