Trieste
A self-guided audio walking tour of Trieste.
Trieste sits at the edge of the Adriatic feeling slightly apart from everywhere else, which is exactly its appeal. The city grew grand under the Habsburg Empire and carries that scale in its wide seafront piazza and its coffee houses, while the karst plateau just above gives it a dramatic, open air quality unlike any other Italian port. Walking here is a pleasure of layered cultures and slow sea light. In the app, 30 stops in Trieste are narrated aloud, about 51m of listening across 4 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 34 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
