About Trieste
Trieste rewards travellers who like their history served with a fork: a Habsburg port city where Austrian coffee houses, Slavic kitchens and Italian osterie sit within a few streets of each other. The Imperial Trieste: A Culinary Trail Through Flavors and History walks that layered past through its markets and cafés, while the Trieste: Small Group Pasta & Tiramisu Class with Mamma puts you in a local kitchen to cook the dishes that came out of it.
