Trieste Off The Beaten Path Tips by gmg61

Miramare station

Miramare station was built to serve the close up castle, built by Maximilian of Absburg.
It's located along the railroad from Trieste to Venezia, but it is rarely used, and partially cnverted into a private house.
Few trains stop there but you can visit it climbing to the old vllage from the Miramare castle.

Rozzol/Montebello: an old station

An old and not anymore used station, along the "Transalpina" railroad that during the times of the Austrian empire connected Trieste with Wien.
Nowadays it has been converted into a private house but if you're lucky enough and find the door open you can visit a small railroad museum located in the main hall of the station, and you can notice that almost everything has been left as it was 100 years ago, with writings in Italian and German, the old timetable and so on.
Like jumping back in time!

Absburgic harbour

At the times of the Austrian empire, Trieste was the main harbour.
Nowadays one part of the port mantains the old character, wth huge docks, massive grey buildings etc.
It's not easy to get in and visit it, but it's an interesting walk
