Trieste, considered as the "last city of north-east" of Italy, or as the "city of the extreme south" of Central Europe, is located at the foot of the Dinaric Alps on the Adriatic Sea, close to the Italian-Slovenian border. The resources of the city are primarily due to the international port, rival of that of Venice, and related activities: shipyards, iron and steel, oil refineries, trade, ferry connections. The ferry port of Trieste connects Italy with Albania (Durres), Slovenia (Piran) and Croatia (Durres, Porec, Pula, Rovinj). Up to 21 crossings per week are offered between the port of Trieste and those countries on the other side of the Adriatic. With a booming tourist port, activity in the tourism sector is on the rise. The many museums of the city and the Miramare Castle, which remains one of the most visited castles in Italy, are worth a visit.
