Via Vincenzo Bellini y Gioacchino Rossini

These 2 streets are perhaps the most beautiful in Trieste. They are in the old center and are on either side of a channel that reaches the Mediterranean Sea. The channel adds a very nice touch to the neighborhood, which has plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops on the waterfront. The rest of the old streets of the center are very narrow, but when it's hot the shadows help give freshness to the houses. Conversely, these 2 streets are open, leaving the whole space for pedestrians and discovering the canal banks. Around the channel are fishing boats and recreational sailboats that pass the summer there quietly.
