Trieste Giant Cave

Accompanied by a qualified private guide, you’ll start your descent to the magical underground chamber of Grotta Gigante. Following a well-lit trail to a depth of 100 meters, you’ll pass by ancient and mesmerizing stalactites and stalagmites, and learn about the cave’s fascinating history as well as the incredible geological and paleontological finds since its discovery.

Once you’ve made your way past 500 steps and have reached the enormous underground chamber, you’ll spot the tools being used to study crustal movements by the University of Trieste and the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics.

Your journey back up will follow the same path in which the very first explorers descended in 1840, with amazing views over the whole cavern.

Comfortable shoes and attire appropriate for the temperature of 11°C are recommended.
