Trieste Tours

Booked a day in advance. We entered at the appointed time without standing in any line. We had no guide. The castle is very beautiful and the surrounding park is spectacular. The view of the sea is superlative. Recommended visit!

The place is beautiful, the only shortcoming I found was the lack of signage inside the park. I struggled to figure out which path to take to exit to the "Miramare" train stop from where I had entered. (I admit I did not bother to memorize the way).

We really enjoyed our little tour of Triestre. The price was right and the staff very nice. I only have one criticism. The audio in English was very clear and very interesting. The only thing that you really must change , in my opinion, is some of the words used. Some of these include the following from memory but I am sure there are more. Epoque: is not a word used in English, period would be more appropriate. Spur: Can't remember the context it was in but it means nothing. Mole cost: I think he was supposed to say coast and was in refering to the harbour and surrounding, but in any case not a thing. Slewing, in reference to a slewing bridge. This maybe technically correct but unless you were an engineer or grew up in 19th century it means nothing. Rotating bridge or something similar would be better. It is a common error made everywhere you travel but I think it is something that would improve the experience of this wonderful city.

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.
