A day in the Italian metropolis

There are about 4500 shops, 6 department stores and 2 huge shopping malls in downtown Trieste. The Borgo Teresiano - the grid-pattern, neo-classical city centre named after Empress Maria Theresa - is where Trieste's uninspiring shopping opportunities are concentrated.

James Joyce lived with wife Nora and two kids in Via San Nicolas.
Even if you haven't got the espresso machine with you, a bag of freshly-ground coffee is a great travelling companion; try the CremCaffe`, an old-fashioned torrefazione (coffee roaster) on Piazza Goldoni, where you can also pick up a set of limited edition Illy coffee cups (the design changes every year).
The old town, between Piazza Unita` d'Italia and the hill of San Giusto, is dotted with second-hand bookshops. During the year, there are numerous Markets and Fairs in the city.

Take a stroll through the street markets and pick up a few bargains!
