Mare Nordest 2025: a weekend by the sea in Trieste
From May 23 to 25, Trieste will host a new edition of Mare Nordest, the event that, for fourteen years, has been combining environment, culture, science, sport, and art in a celebration of the sea. Piazza Unità d’Italia, the city’s symbolic seafront square, becomes a stage for meetings, exploration, and reflection on our relationship with the sea.
For guests staying at Portopiccolo Apartments, just a short drive from Trieste, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a high-quality weekend that blends coastal elegance with cultural and scientific enrichment.
