One of the most delightful tours in the city is a visit to the cafés that have left their mark, both in design and because of the famous figures who frequented them, especially for the excellent Triestine coffee (Illy coffee, famous worldwide, originated in the city). Cafés such as Caffè San Marco, still a gathering place for intellectuals; Caffè degli Specchi, overlooking Piazza Unità d’Italia; and the historic Caffè Tommaseo, founded in 1830, are must-visit spots for their unique atmosphere.
