Experience in Trieste, Italy by Shams

What is it like to live in Trieste? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Living in Trieste is funny. The city has a great landscape surrounded by mountains, hills and valleys. It is close to many other bordering countries like Slovenia, Austria and Croatia.

The transportation system is wonderful. You have good connectivity to every nook and corner of the city through public transportation. Though you have only one mode of public transportation i. e. the bus.

For quick movement you have radio cabs/ taxi's that can pick you up in a couple of minutes from the time you place a call to the call centre and the arrival of the Taxi to your location.

The city center is a wonderful place to hang out. There are plenty of bars and pubs to hag out. For the coffee lovers you have many places that serve you variety of coffee. Dont miss out Illy coffee which is available at every 50 yards in every nook and corner of the city.

The weather I would say isn't bad. The winters are cold and summers are pleasant. There are a couple of beaches in and around town.
