Under the Christmas Lights
In Trieste, Christmas shines like a fairty tale.
The squares glow with golden lights, trees sparkle with a thousand reflections, and the air is filled with the scent of sweets and spices.
The historic train to Tarvisio glides through landscapes that seem straight out of a storybook, while the Christmas markets invite you to discover, explore, and smile.
Every corner of the city is an invitation to marvel, to see Christmas with the same magic that shines in children’s eyes.
