Trieste is a wonderful place to discover by bike: the city has a unique blend of the Adriatic Sea, elegant facades and nearby hills. Pedaling is an easy way to move from a lively square to a seaside promenade, without having to worry about timetables or wasting time getting around.

Start by cycling along the waterfront to enjoy the open views over the gulf, then glide towards the historic quarters where cafés and markets set the pace. With a few pedal strokes, you can also reach higher vantage points: the effort is quickly rewarded by superb panoramas, especially in the late afternoon.
