Where to Drink

The warm, breezy nights are ideal for a summer stroll, and there are plenty of outdoor cafes for when you get a little tired and feel like sipping a spritz bianco while enjoying one of the spectacular Triestine sunsets.

Baracchino di Barcola

This tree-shaded open bar facing the water is in the thick of the action during Trieste’s summer season. It serves good solid spriz bianco, and some snacks and often has live music backdrop.
Via Lungomare Benedetto Croce, Trieste, drinks from €3.50

Pier

Huge terraces offer views of marina on one side and the city center on the other in this lively seaside bar that’s a major meeting point. The sea views will no doubt distract you from the plain interior, but do look out for the fascinating wall of photos of villagers taken over the past half-century.
Molo Venezia 1, drinks from € 4.50

Caffe degli Specchi

As much for the drinks, as for the just right location this place is loved both by locals and tourists. Come for aperitivo, stay for sunset.
