Trieste, or "Trst" in Slovenian, is about a 45 minute bus ride away from Koper. It is a medium sized city at about 200,000 inhabitants. Interstingly, there is a major Slovenian influence there. During the communist era, the Italiam government offered citizenship to a large number of Slovenes, resulting in large Slovene suburbs surrounding the city. Nevertheless, this is most definitely an Italian city, and has some very nice sights. Click on the "Read More" link below to see more pictures.
