REASONS TO CHOOSE A LISA! LANGUAGE COURSE IN TRIESTE:

1. Top Study Destination:
   The charming Adriatic city of Trieste combines the ease of Italian lifestyle with Austrian coffeehouse culture and culinary flavours from the Balkans. White cliffs reflect in the deep blue sea, while a fresh breeze carries the scent of wild herbs. From the 14th century until 1918, Trieste was part of Austria, and the traces of the Austro-Hungarian era are still visible today – in its elegant Art Nouveau façades, Viennese-style cafés, nostalgic Sissi statues, and the old funicular railway. The city’s unique atmosphere has inspired writers such as James Joyce, Italo Svevo, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Franz Kafka.
2. Students & Diversity:
   Most of our students travel alone and soon find friendly, like-minded participants from around the world – often on the very first day. Traditionally, university students and young professionals aged 20 to 35, as well as established professionals aged 35 to 45, book with LISA! Study Abroad. Participants over 60 especially enjoy our Language and Culture Programme in Trieste.
3. Excellent Location & Facilities:
   Our language school is located in the heart of the city, just steps away from the Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia, and housed in a historic palazzo. In the surrounding streets, life unfolds in true Italian fashion – people talk, gesture, laugh, and, of course, enjoy good food. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the school.
