Travel ideas Friuli

If you are searching for snow during the summer months, remote alpine villages, country villas, mountain huts, Roman archeological sites; or if you prefer long beaches, rocky coastlines, lagoons, and picturesque fishing villages, Friuli is the perfect destination.

A beautiful and severe border region, where almost every town boasts a museum, and is able to surprise with its cultural attractions and the plurality of architectural styles (in the centre of Udine the Venetian Gothic of the Palazzo del Comune faces the beautiful XX century Art Deco Cafe’ Contarena). The Basilica in Aquileia, once an important city of the Roman empire, is also well worth a visit.

Then there is Trieste - city of the "three roads" as it was defined by Umberto Saba, a native of the region. The beauties of Trieste have been greatly appreciated by the European intellectual community so much so as to figure in the works of such great writers as James Joyce, Italo Svevo, and, of course, Umberto Saba.
