What our students said about Trieste
It is a great city. People are very friendly and there are many points of interest. In addition, it is very safe and the prices are acceptable. The most beautiful thing about the city, apart from the people, are the landscapes; the Adriatic Sea is extremely beautiful.
Pleasant atmosphere, we didn't take part in the nightlife, we didn't use public transport. Car parking relatively expensive. The privately rented flat had its own car parking space. If staying in summer, a sandy beach would be nice.
I enjoy Trieste time and time again. I've been there about twice every time since 2018. However, because there are so many cruise ships docking now, the city is quite crowded and noisy during this time.
You can feel the historical past of the Austrian monarchy (buildings and squares), and at the same time life in the city simply oozes southern flair. I liked the city very much and felt very at home.
Didn't visit too many things but just enjoyed walking around the city and to the water. The history of the city is interesting and there are many parks and opportunities for hiking.
I didn't use public transport as everything was within walking distance for us (10-20 minutes). There are lots of good bars and restaurants. I can't judge the later nightlife.
Should remain an insider tip, as not yet overcrowded, still "normal" prices for meals, entrance fees etc.; public transport with excellent app for navigation and timetable.
Trieste is a very beautiful, liveable city. Colourful and lively. Only the lack of greenery in the city and the large amounts of dog faeces everywhere deducted points.
Very liveable and worth experiencing city, beautiful surroundings, especially as Slovenia, Ljubljana, Muggia, Grotta Gigante... and Venice are not so far away.
I can't really rate the nightlife and public transport. Trieste is now one of my favourite cities. I was all by myself and I felt so safe.
Most recent student reviews of language schools in Trieste

Very good teaching staff. Good size of our classes (5-6 students).
A lot of reference to current life in Italy and attention to the personality of each student. I benefited a lot from the lessons thanks to the tutoring sessions. Good structure of the subject matter and good coordination between grammar and conversation lessons.

A young, dedicated team of teachers in a warm atmosphere and small groups. Grammar is taught in the first part and conversation in the second part, which I personally found very good.

Course: Course B: Complete - 1 week
Student age: 22 years

There is a very pleasant, relaxed atmosphere at the school, the teachers are all extremely helpful and very competent in the lessons. Marina, who organises everything, speaks perfect German and you can turn to her with any questions. The afternoon excursions were great, sometimes to places that you wouldn't necessarily think of as a tourist. We asked for an osmiza in the first week and Marina had already organised a visit for the second week.
The classrooms are pleasant and I particularly appreciated the large table around which everyone sits and has enough space for all the documents. The large table is also very communicative.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Italian Courses in Trieste
I am looking for an intensive course for adults at B2 level. I have chosen 2 weeks but it could be 3 weeks.
I would like to ask if it is possible to have space for the car and if it is possible to use the kitchen.
Can I pay in installments?
1.- Prepayment. Due in the moment of registration. This payment is necessary so that we can send the booking to the school. Without this payment, the school cannot process the booking. If everything is okay, the school will send us the confirmation 1-2 business days later.
2.- Outstanding amount. This amount has to be paid to the school after the confirmation of the booking. Once this amount has been paid, the school can send the visa document if you require that.”
