Trieste has been named by the
Guardian among the top six European cities for a walking stroll,
offering several locations dear to Irish writer James Joyce.
The other five are Berlin, Marseille, Copenaghen, Seville and
Lisbon.
The Guardian said Joyce used to imagine the Dublin walks of his
characters Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus for his 'Ulysses'
while strolling through the streets of the former Habsburg
seaport and Friuli capital.
It said Piazza Unità d'Italia, which gives on to the sea, "is a
natural place to start a zigzag stroll", while you can walk from
the centre of the city up to Villa Opicina with its breathtaking
views over the Gulf of Trieste.
"If you have energy for further walking," said the British
daily, "proceed along the wooded dirt track of the Strada
Napoleonica towards Prosecco".
