We were lucky enough to get tickets for Donizetti's "l'elisir d'amore" and it was a most enjoyable evening in this classic five tier opera house.The staging was perfect, the singing too and the orchestra rang out the foot-stamping melodies one after the other. The lead soprano was Ukrainian, the conductor Slovenian so that it was a perfect cast for this multi-ethnic city.

We decided to make a day trip via train from Venice to Trieste and assumed that we could get information and a map from Tourist Information in the Trieste train station. But no office exists there. A station customer care rep gave us vague instructions on how to reach the office in the old town, about a 15-minute walk away. En route, we had to ask a few people for directions before reaching our goal, the Town Hall, located on Piazza Unita. Though we found a Trieste Infopoint office on the building’s ground level, it was closed for renovations. A sign directed us to another office nearby. Again, we asked directions from a passerby and finally got to the correct place about a 1-minute walk away on a street off the piazza. A woman, who spoke excellent English, welcomed us and told us about a self-guided audio tour with 22 stops. She also gave us a free map and mentioned free brochures on a long rack. We opted to take the audio tour, which came with a map. I was required to leave personal identification while out with the two audio guides. We paid a total of 8 E for the excellent tour, which can last from 2 hours and up, depending on the level of interest and speed of participants. We visited 10 places in 3 hours and also ate lunch. Stops included piazzas, churches and Roman ruins. When heavy rain began to fall, accompanied by the fierce wind that Trieste is known for, we decided it was time to return to the train station. Back at the Infopoint, a rep was kind enough to call a taxi for us. When coming from the station, Trieste Infopoint can be found by following the sea until reaching Piazza Unita. While standing by the water, look at the square and proceed to the first street on the right that runs lateral to the square The Infopoint is located on the right, facing Hotel Duchi D’Aosta.

Today, Trieste has a pleasant mix of historic buildings and squares (piazza). That's why the walk and sightseeing of this beautiful city are both pleasant and exciting. One of the beautiful buildings is Borsa Vecchia (Old Stock Exchange). Right next to Piazza Unita d 'Italia, there is Piazza della Borsa, with the pretty building of the Borsa itself. During the 19th century, this square was in fact used as the economic center of the city. Construction on the neoclassical building began in 1802 and it opened its doors in 1805. Borsa Vecchia served as the stock exchange until 1844 and today it is home to Trieste's Chamber of Commerce. Borsa Vecchia was designed by Italian architect Antonio Mollari. The large portico with four Doric columns gives the building its Grecian aesthetic. Building exceptionally beautifully shows the power of trade and trading. Very nice.
