My wife and I are visiting there in mid September. We’re interested in the city’s culture, art museums, historic sites, architecture and a landmark church or two. And a nice dinner. NOT interested in the beaches beyond just people watching or an after dinner stroll. We’ll have 2 nights and 1.5 days and no car to get around.
What area of the city should we stay and can you recommend a very good mid-priced hotel under $250/night or Airbnb? And a dinner restaurant?
Thanks for your help!

Trieste is one of my favorite places to visit!
I have stayed twice at L'Albero Nascosto. For me, the location is perfect on a quiet street and a short walk to the seafront.
Very nearby is Osteria Marise with a nice atmosphere and very good food. Since it's a small place, I'd make a reservation.
For coffee or a light lunch, Antico Caffe San Marco is very atmospheric.
A trip on the ferry to Miramare Castle is very nice.

Enjoy the city! Check Google maps for restaurants and reviews. There are many good ones.
If you want to see the castle, definately make a reservation.
Marsle and Barbara, thank you for your helpful advice on Trieste. The hotel was not available but I got one nearby. And will get our Castle tix today.
Thanks again!

Have a great time in Trieste Kevin!
