Italy's Versatile Northeast: Between Alps, Karst, and Adriatic

Friuli Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy combines various influences as a historically significant border region: Schloss Miramare and the port city of Trieste showcase Habsburg heritage. In Aquileia, one can admire Roman relics and early Christian mosaics, while the once-Venetian planned city of Palmanova features parts of a baroque fortress, and Udine boasts elegant Renaissance architecture. The landscape is also incredibly diverse: between the peaks of the Dolomites and the Po Valley, there is a difference of over 2700 meters in elevation. Whether it's a beach holiday in the lagoon town of Grado or a mountain hike in Tarvisio, whether it's a cultural trip or a culinary journey – individual explorers will find plenty to enjoy in this still relatively unknown tourist region. The Trescher travel guide to Friuli Venezia Giulia offers tips and background information for both active vacationers and culture enthusiasts alike.
