Canal Grande in Trieste

Trieste | Italy
Nestled in the heart of Trieste, the Canal Grande is a serene waterway, offering a picturesque glimpse into the city's maritime heritage. This historic canal, surrounded by majestic buildings and bustling cafes, serves as a charming testament to Trieste's unique blend of Italian and Austrian influences. Why you should visit? 1 - The Canal Grande, designed in the 18th century, was originally a key maritime route for Trieste. Lined with neoclassical architecture, it reflects the city’s prosperous trading history. This waterway, now a peaceful haven, was once bustling with merchant ships, echoing Trieste's vibrant past. 2 - Strolling along the canal, you will be captivated by the elegant facades of buildings like Palazzo Gopcevich. The fusion of Venetian Gothic and Viennese Secessionist styles along the canal's banks showcases Trieste's multicultural past. The reflections of these structures in the calm waters create a mesmerizing visual experience. 3 - The canal area thrives as a cultural hotspot, hosting numerous cafes and eateries. You can indulge in local cuisine while enjoying the serene water views. The area is also a hub for cultural events and gatherings, making it a lively spot for experiencing the local community's vibrancy. 4 - Photographers and artists find inspiration in the Canal Grande's picturesque setting. The play of light on the water, especially during sunset, offers stunning photographic opportunities. The canal, with its historic bridges and colorful boats, serves as a canvas capturing the essence of Trieste. You can easily access the Canal Grande, with no entry fee required. The best time to visit is during late spring or early autumn for pleasant weather.

Museu do Oriente

Lisbon | Portugal
The Museu do Oriente in Lisbon, inaugurated in 2008, is a testament to Portugal's historical maritime connections with Asia. Housed in a transformed bacalhau warehouse along the Tagus river, the museum showcases the profound cultural exchanges between Portugal and the Asian continent. Why we recommend visiting: 1 - The museum's two main collections encapsulate the essence of this cultural fusion. The first collection highlights the Portuguese presence in Asia with over a thousand pieces, including rare Namban art, Chinese and Japanese folding screens, and an extensive porcelain collection. The second, the Kwok On Collection, features over 13,000 pieces related to Asian performing arts, extending from Turkey to Japan, with a special focus on Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern spiritual traditions. 2 - The museum's location, in a former bacalhau factory dating back to 1940, speaks to its unique architectural design. Transformed with a €30-million investment, the museum now boasts a striking exterior and an interior that seamlessly integrates the building's original industrial features with modern museum spaces. 3 - Among the notable exhibits are intricate Japanese Noh masks, Chinese opera puppets, an extensive array of Asian masks, and shadow and puppet theatres from India, China, and Indonesia. These pieces not only represent artistic beauty but also convey the rich storytelling traditions of their respective cultures. 4 - The museum frequently hosts temporary exhibitions that delve into specific aspects of Asian art and history, further enriching visitors' understanding of these diverse cultures. 5 - The top-floor restaurant offers a panoramic view of the Tagus river, serving a mix of Asian and Portuguese cuisines.
