DETAILED ITINERARY

DAY 1: LJUBLJANA – TRIESTE – VENICE

Depart Ljubljana to Trieste – Trieste city walk – Miramare castle visit – Venice city walk – overnight Venice

In the morning meet your Tour guide/driver at hotel’s lobby and depart from Ljubljana to Venice via Trieste (with Miramare castle).
Trieste, an important port town, once a window to the world of mighty Habsburg Empire, was, to many immigrants from Europe, a starting point with embarkation on the ships sailing to the New world! Upon arrival we will have orientation walk through the streets and alleys that will make you feel like you are in Central Europe – unique for the Mediterranean world. Admire colossal square Piazza Unita italia that lies at the forefront of the historic old town and faces out towards the Adriatic Sea. Due to its immense size it is known as the largest square situated next to the sea in Europe. Several prestigious and important buildings line the square including the Town Hall – Each of which features a stunning design and beautiful architecture. Located next to the Piazza Unita Italia, the Piazza dell Borsa is a great place to take in the local life. Markets and small fairs are sometimes held here and it is a great place for shopping and mingling. Short walk away there is the Grand Canal, a small waterway that has stood since the 1700’s to allow boats direct access into the city to unload their cargo. You can find at least one religious site from each European religion in Trieste; beside many beautiful catholic churches, you can find Greek and Serbian Orthodox churches, Evangelical Lutheran Church and one of the oldest and biggest synagogues in Europe. After orientation walk you will have some free time to explore on your own, taste delicious coffee and/or Italian snacks. Suggestions and pointers will be given to you by your guide.
Short drive away is Miramare castle that was commissioned in the 2nd half of the 19th century by the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg as a residence for himself and his wife, Charlotte of Belgium. It is surrounded by a flourishing park full of precious botanic species, and has a charming panoramic view, given its location on a cliff high above the sea. Visit a luxurious aristocratic residence which has preserved its original furnishings.
Drive to Venice. Are you ready to be seduced by its beauty, charm and long rich history? Upon arrival to Venice, check in at your hotel. Followed by a pleasant walk through the labyrinth of bridges and paths along numerous canals. During the stroll (1,5 hour walk) you will experience the city on water with your guide who will bring you to St Mark’s square*. Your guide will give you lots of suggestions and pointers; perhaps you would like to enter St Marks’s basilica or/and walk up to the top of the Bell tower, explore Dodge’s palace and its prison tombs, cross the Bridge of sighs, enjoy iconic gondola ride, sip cappuccino in the most famous café in town or explore some of the interesting museums, palaces and churches. Have we mentioned shopping of venetian Murano glass & jewelry? Pick your choice!
