Entry: Why do I like Trieste?? What do I like of Trieste??
At the age of four, I moved from Trieste to Hong Kong. This was an interesting, but horrible experience. It was also a great change, living in a small town by the sea side like Trieste and then suddenly finding yourself in a giant, crowded and polluted city like Hong Kong.
But spending eight years of my life in Hong Kong made me realise how beautiful Trieste truly is. Many people say, that Trieste is incredibly boring, but after eight years in Hong Kong I don't think so! Trieste might not be a big city, but you must learn to enjoy it!!
There are many beautiful things in Trieste, but a few of them, are hidden treasures!!

One of them is for sure the ''bomboniera"!! It's an old pastry which was owned by a Hungarian family and which makes the best pastry in Italy, in my opinion!!

Another one is the "Gelateria Zampolli" of via Carlo Ghega, which is the world's best ice-cream, in the opinion of nearly everybody at IST and probably the rest of Trieste!

If you are seeking relax and being beside the sea side, then Trieste is probably the right place: take a walk at Barcola, have an ice-cream and in the summer you might even get to jump on the Australian games, which are eight medium sized trampolines!!
Instead if you are seeking Triesteinian culture, the first place you must go is the castle of Miramare. It was owned by the Emperor of Mexico and brother of the Austria-Hungarian emperor Franz Josef of Hapsburg!!

In conclusion, Trieste is a very peaceful town and its people are quiet nice. It would be for sure a good experience to go there on vacation!!
