The beautiful city of Trieste, with its location in the north and along the border of Slovenia, has extensive contacts with different ethnic groups, including French, Austrian and Slavic. This gives the town a cosmopolitan quality not found in most Italian cities, giving it a unique multicultural character. Trieste is often overlooked by many tourists in favor of its better known sister city of Venice, but it is ideal for those looking for a relaxing "off the well-beaten path" destination in Italy. For a relatively small city, Trieste is a great place to shop, particularly for antiques.
