The best photos of Trieste aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Castello di Miramare will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Historic coffee houses for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
