I was born in Trieste, Although I have lived most of my life in Australia, I went back the first time after 35 years. As the city below us came into view , Luciano Pavarotti was on the radio, what a welcome home! It was quite an emotional experience. Since that first trip I have returned many times.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for sharing your experience. You were born in lovely city.

[@riobabic8960]

I went back to Croatia in 2018 after 44 years. I live in Canada and coming out of the last tunnel into Dalmatia and the Adriatic Sea the song on the radio was a popular beautiful Dalmatian song Ne DIraj moja Ljubav . I will never forget that. Your experience reminded me of that.

[@ZINGERPINGERS]

My whole mums side of the family is from there but I've been anxious about going back and not knowing the language. I'm born and raised in Australia.

[@rmco6379]

I've been going to Trieste every year for nearly 30 years and in total, more than 40. I've traveled a lot in my life and this is my favorite city in the world. Can't wait for my next capo in b! A presto, Trieste! And Rok, perfetto! Grazie!

I think Trieste is the most beautiful city in Europe! I travel across the world to go there. I would not go back to Rome, Venice, Naples Sicily, but could go back to Trieste any time! I would love to spend months there instead of weeks. Isola is beautiful as well. Wonderful video, make me miss it so much.

@@markusschneider8086 I have seen a LOT of Europe thanks so much for assuming you know what I have done with my life. I happen to Love Trieste, also Isola, also many other places. I dislike many large cities, yet love Napoli. I have my opinions, no need for you to troll around arguing with someone on their opinion. A place can have an emotion attachment for you as well. It is like saying the beaches in Italy are beautiful, what a load of rubbish, and argue with an Australian over that! LOL

[@rokgoesaround]

Nice. Have a great coffee experience 🤗

[@Multiplads]

My favorite places to taste coffee are: Caffè degli Specchi, Caffè San Marco, Illy Corner at Eataly directly on the sea. The variety of cold and hot coffees and creativity you can drink at Illy’s is second to none. There is another coffee in Trieste called Triestina Artigianale, not far away from Piazza Unita. The place is called Torrefazione La Triestina di Ariella Doz. Here you can only buy coffee. The best ice cream ever you can find in Gelateria Zampolli at Via Ghega 10. Just go for one of the five Senza nome tastes, memory guaranteed.

Wanted go on Amalfi Coast first, but I think maybe I'll go to Trieste. I love beautyful architecture and Italy. And Italy it is the reason why I still wasn't in Paris.

My most pleasant recollections are connected with this marvellous city! Being born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and living the whole life there, I felt much in common there and everything made me feel on one wave. I visited Trieste 4 times for a nice holiday spent with my sincere friend, the local citizen. Now the circumstances hold us apart! And I can't even hope to get there again due to the sanctions for Russia.

[@blotski]

What a fantastic film, 3D effects and in 4K too. Really informative and well presented. Can I ask one question? When talking about the Roman theatre and the lighthouse you said there was 'no admission'. Did you mean that admission is free or there is no admission fee? 'There is no admission' means you're not allowed in.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗 No admission means there are no tickets to buy and you can not enter the site. You can admire it from the outside.

@@rokgoesaround They open sometimes for visits and even small concerts or theatrical performances (the Roman theatre). Nice video, i enjoyed watching it even if I live here. Next time consider visit the Grotta Gigante, one of the largest caves in the World
