Group travel

I didn't feel safe, a man touched me while I was walking with my friends. The food was fine, but it was expensive. In the city there wasn't a lot of interesting things to do...

We were group of 10 and we had one amazing Easter in Trieste. We stayed in a bnb up on the hill and it was one hell of a night. The train ride from bologna to Trieste was lit af. I think everyone should visit Trieste

Trieste is a small and fairly quiet city. It has many historical places, a nice center and many residential areas. Trieste It is a city close to the border and has always been multicultural. In this historical period it is subject to flows of migratory routes and therefore mainly in the area near the station it is full of immigrants seeking asylum but they are mainly all together in one point and do not disturb. However, in the evening there are police cars that drive around the city to ensure safety.

I think Triest is a very safe place, because most of the population here are old people. I often walk alone after dark or waiting alone for a bus, but i’ve never been scared of anything. It’s very rare to happen something dangerous.
