It is the most \u201cMittel European\u201d city in Italy, with a rich history and a glorious past of \u201cLittle Vienna by the Sea\u201d. Historically Trieste was a meeting point for many literary figures (e.g., James Joyce lived in Trieste for more than 10 years) and is nowadays one of the cities with the highest density of academic researchers in Europe. Besides the University of Trieste, many academic institutions, including SISSA (International School for Advanced Studies), ICTP (International Centre for Theoretical Physics), INAF (Astrophysics observatory), OGS (Oceanography and Geophysics institute), and Area Science Park (technological park and tech transfer), form the so-called \u201cTrieste System\u201d. Trieste was the European City of Science in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major tourist attractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
