Friuli-Venezia Giulia is located in the north-east of Italy and borders Austria, Slovenia and the regions of Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige. At around 7,900 km², it is one of the medium-sized Italian regions and has around 1.2 million inhabitants. The capital is Trieste - an elegant port city with Central European flair. The region combines Alpine landscapes in the north, gently rolling hills in Friuli and the Adriatic coast in the south. The Carnic Alps, the Collio wine-growing region and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aquileia with its Roman excavations are particularly well-known. Friuli-Venezia Giulia impresses with its cultural diversity, as Italian, Slovenian and Austrian influences come together here - ideal for nature lovers, culture vultures and connoisseurs.
The Friuli Venezia Giulia region is a true outdoor paradise with an impressive variety - from the mountains to the sea. In the Julian Alps National Park and the Friulian Dolomites, well-marked hiking trails, via ferratas and mountain bike trails invite you to enjoy unforgettable tours. Winter sports fans can look forward to over 100 km of perfectly groomed ski slopes in the region, including renowned ski resorts such as Tarvisio, Sella Nevea, Piancavallo and Ravascletto-Zoncolan. Especially around Tarvisio, the mountain world presents itself from its best side; with the webcams on Monte Lussari, you can already take a look at the enchanting church with the imposing mountains in the background - a fantastic sight, especially at dusk! Along the Alpe-Adria cycle route, which is over 180 km long, or the FVG3 route, bike fans can ride through stunning scenery from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Paragliding, climbing tours and exploring the spectacular Grotta Gigante, the world's largest show cave near Trieste, provide thrills.
Friuli Venezia Giulia impresses with its lively cities full of history and cultural diversity. From Roman excavations to Venetian palaces and fortresses from the First World War - the region is a kaleidoscope of history. Trieste, the elegant coastal jewel, impresses with Piazza Unità d'Italia, Miramare Castle and the famous Barcolana sailing regatta in October. Udine delights with Venetian architecture, the Piazza Libertà, the castle and Tiepolo frescoes - and attracts visitors with its lively student and art scene. At the same time, culinary highlights such as frico (cheesecake made from Montasiio cheese and potatoes), prosciutto di San Daniele, grappa or jota (hearty stew made from sauerkraut, beans and potatoes) await in trattorias, wineries and farmers' markets to delight gourmets. The mix of Italian, Austrian and Slavic cuisine makes the experience unique - and a live cam often provides useful information on the weather and current conditions on site, especially for those who are on the go.
