Guidebook for Trieste
Sightseeing
Kleine Berlin is a complex of air-raid tunnels that was built during World War II. Located at the base of Scorcola Hill, the complex consists of two distinct yet connected parts: a section built by the Italians and used by the population during air-raids, and a section built by German soldiers that was used both for storage and as an air-raid shelter. Famous for enabling the incredible escape of General Odilo Globocnik and his faithful followers in the turbulent days following the Allied capture of the city, the complex is one of the few of its kind open to the public. Guided tours are organized by Club Alpinistico Triestino

Shopping
Nothing has changed since 1906, from the shelves with their ivory coloured wooden drawers up to the ceiling, to the various wonders that can be found here and are sold nowhere else.
The large wooden drawers contain oxides for decorators, green and red clay, and talc. Only here can you still find ostrich feather dusters and horsehair brooms.
The smell that pierces the nostrils is the scent of spices: cloves, lemon grass, mustard seeds and Marseilles soap, everything loose and sold by weight.
Founded in 1906 by Vittorio Toso, the store is now run by the Kosmina family, who proudly carry on the tradition that makes them unique in this city and elsewhere.

Arts & Culture
The onion house.
It is one of Trieste's most unusual villas, located at 229 Viale Miramare.
Jakic was a former priest who is said to have abandoned his vows to become a spy of the tsar. The rumour seems to be true and the style of the villa is definitely a tribute to the roubles that the former Orthodox priest probably used to pay for the house.
The house was sold by the owner in 1904 and subsequently had many "masters". For a time it was a well known and elegant brothel, and even gained international fame as a gambling den.

Inaugurato nel 2004, più che un museo, è uno spazio curioso. È il laboratorio, la vetrina di un'idea: quella di creare a Trieste il Museo della Bora e del Vento. La bora è una delle caratteristiche più famose della città, e merita di essere celebrata in un posto speciale che prima o poi nascerà. Questo luogo vuole essere un "museo in progress" per prendere confidenza con il Progetto Bora Museum®, in una dimensione intima e raccolta. È il museo "in piccolo".
