A city that celebrates its sea and its most typical product, the coffee, in a unique way, you just have to visit.<\/p>\n

These events are actually two big city festivals. The Barcolana<\/strong> is the regatta with the most participants in the world and a great sailing festival, which is celebrated for a week by the whole city. This year the Barcolana will be 50 years old<\/strong> and the anniversary celebration will take place from the 5th to the 14th<\/a>. October, Sunday, when the Gulf of Trieste will offer a breathtaking and unique spectacle with the many sailing boats.<\/p>\n

October is organized by the world’s most famous espresso maker Illycaff\u00e8 (page 2)<\/strong><\/a>. The city of literary cafes, where coffee is more than just a daily ritual and where coffee can be enjoyed in infinitely more ways than in the rest of Italy, celebrates its favorite drink with a three-day coffee culture event in a very special and under-visited location, the Old harbor.<\/p>\n

October is also the ideal month for walks and hikes on the karst with the foliage discoloration<\/strong>, which is unique here thanks to the willow bush, because its leaves turn yellow and bright red, so that some sections of the Trieste cliff, the Rilke trail (page 53)<\/a> or the Napoleonica hiking trail glowing red.<\/p>\n
