    Miramare is just beautiful. I have really wanted to see this castle for some years and when the opportunity came up to go to Trieste, this was on the top of my list. The HopIt Bus and Miramare ticket made it easy to get there and see the castle. My advice is that it takes an hour to get there on the HopIt Bus and you then have a 20-30 minute walk from the drop off point, so take that into consideration when booking your tour time for the castle.

    With the tickets we booked online, we got in straight away without having to wait at the ticket office in the castle. Everything worked really well. The castle itself is a beautiful place, located directly on the lakeshore. The rooms and the exhibition are impressive. It was definitely worth a visit.

    The museum itself (the inside of castle), is okay, nothing that you didn't already see somewhere else in some other castle, BUT, the castle itself (outside), the views, gardens, everything around is just wow, mesmerising. We had no problems with tickets, we didn't have to wait or anything!

    Beautifully arranged furniture, fine art and tapestry. I could imagine how life more than a hundred years must have been. With the audio guide you could choose your own tempo instead of trotting in a huge flock after a guide. Unfortunately the fountains in the castle garden were off, this would be the cherry on top.
  • Begin your day at Pier Audace, where you’ll hop on a comfortable, open-top bus with panoramic views of Trieste’s beautiful coastline and vibrant cityscape. With an audio guide in four languages, you’ll pass iconic spots like Piazza Unità d’Italia and cruise through Trieste’s historic streets.

    Enjoy the freedom to hop off at places like San Giusto Hill, where you can take in sweeping views of the castle and cathedral. Continue the journey, passing the Faro della Vittoria lighthouse and the Grand Canal, surrounded by colorful buildings and lively cafés.

    When you’re ready, head to Miramare Castle for an unforgettable visit. Stroll through its 54-acre park filled with exotic plants, then explore the castle’s impressive rooms, like Maximilian’s Chambers and Charlotte’s Music Room, with their original 19th-century furnishings. Wander the greenhouses, stables, and charming 'Castelletto' within the grounds. Afterward, rejoin the bus to finish your city tour or explore more of Trieste’s attractions at your own pace. This combo is a perfect blend of culture, history, and flexibility for a full day of discovery.
