Trieste has an extremely picturesque setting, framed as it is by the sea and the mountains on the northern Adriatic. Narrow streets line the old town. At the Piazza Unità d'Italia, the heart of the city and the traditional meeting place for the people of Trieste, you can see impressive neoclassical buildings; in contrast, the ancient monuments of the town can be found in Colle di San Giusto. At the foot of this mountain you can visit the baroque church Santa Maria Maggiore. The San Giusto cathedral is the town's most important symbol, while the waterside promenades are the perfect place for a stroll.
Sights include: Duino castle, the huge caves, the remnants of the city wall and the Roman heart of the town, the marine aquarium, the victory lighthouse and the old stock exchange.

The old town of the Mediterranean port of Split on the eastern Adriatic coast in Dalmatia has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.

The former resort of Saranda at the Ionian Sea has become a popular meeting place, primarily for visitors from Greece. From here, one can visit the town of Butrint, where there has been a settlement since the first century B.C. and which has city walls from various epochs. The extensive excavations from ancient times include theatres, an altar to Dionysos, the Asklepius temple, nymphaeum, Roman houses and baths, early Christian basilica and an early Christian baptistry with one of the most beautiful mosaics ever found. The Lion's Gate and the Venetian fort on the former acropolis are must-sees. A ferry leaves Saranda twice daily for the island of Corfu, which is just 10 km away. But the small harbour town has wonderful beaches of its own and welcomes tourists.
