Things to see and do in Trieste, Italy: the Opicina tramway, Miramare and James Joyce

Things not to miss in the city of Trieste: the unique Trieste Opicina tram, the enchanting Miramare Castle and the significant literary connection with Irish writer James Joyce and Sir Richard Burton (not the actor but the Victorian explorer) who translated Aladdin and the Kuma Sutra here.
