The event that all children (and adults) wait for is back, like every year: the Saint Nicholas fair!

You can do your first Christmas shopping, buy sweets to put in your bag for Saint Nicholas (coal or caramelized almonds?!) and stroll along the tree-lined avenue browsing the stalls of the exhibitors.

Once the Saint Nicholas Fair is over, the Christmas market is set up in the main streets of the centre.

Let yourself be enveloped by the magic of Christmas and come visit Trieste during the period in which the city lights up with lights and is embellished with decorations.

The streets of the center, a few steps from the hotel, host the traditional markets with local and foreign exhibitors, ideal for looking for gift ideas or simply walking tasting some typical sweets or warming up with a good mulled wine.

A beautiful skating rink ... and it's immediately fun in the festive air! In Trieste you can put on your skates and twirl in Ponterosso square, among the nineteenth-century buildings, a stone's throw from the canal that brings the sea to the heart of the city and near the markets.

On winter days when temperatures are freezing ... and if the Bora blows even more so! - to find a respite from the cold we Triestini take refuge in one of the many historic cafés.

Whether it's for a quick cup or to be enjoyed sitting comfortably between one chat and another, it's always a pleasure to breathe in atmospheres that make you imagine times gone by. The welcoming rooms and their warmth will immediately make you assume the relaxed rhythm of the Triestini who love to spend a lot of time in cafés.

Take the opportunity to observe the other patrons, read a newspaper and ... taste and learn the many ways to order coffee in Trieste!
