Slow tours among traditions, history and culture

Treat yourself to a slow-paced day, discovering the cultural treasures that characterize the coast of Friuli Venezia Giulia. You can lose yourself in the narrow streets of authentic fishing villages, stroll among the archaeological remains at UNESCO sites. Immerse yourself in the museums of cultural cities, and perhaps combine it with a stop at one of the wineries along the Wine and Flavors Route to taste local products directly from the producer!

Fishing villages are the perfect destination for travelers who love strolling through authentic places, rediscovering the intimate atmosphere, traditional flavors, and local customs. They can also be reached by sea from the main coastal locations, taking advantage of maritime routes and boat excursions! Explore the colorful alleys and experience the fishing traditions in Marano Lagunare, just a stone's throw from Lignano Sabbiadoro. Wander through the narrow streets of Grado's historic center, where artisan shops and early Christian basilicas await. Discover the legend of the White Lady, which still lingers around the ancient manor of the village of Duino, or dock in Muggia, an authentic village with unique Istrian-Venetian architecture. Architecture enthusiasts must not miss a tour of the historic villas in Lignano Sabbiadoro, some of which were inhabited by famous figures, including Alberto Sordi, and lose themselves in the spiral streets of Lignano Pineta, a remarkable example of modern urban planning designed by Marcello D'Olivo, which still sparks curiosity today.

A must-see for culture enthusiasts, the UNESCO sites of Aquileia and Palmanova can also be reached by bicycle from the town of Grado!

The city of Aquileia amazes with its state of preservation and the richness of its artifacts: you can take a real journey back to the ancient Roman Empire by strolling among the open-air remains of the Roman forum, entering a domus, visiting the ancient early Christian basilica with its spectacular mosaic floor, and admiring all the other incredible treasures preserved in the city!

Unique in its kind for its nine-pointed star-shaped design, the fortress city of Palmanova impresses its visitors with the preservation of the historic bastion park and the intriguing tour of the underground tunnels!

Located directly on the coast, Trieste enchants at first glance with its seaside charm and captivates completely with its multicultural personality, a blend of many traditions that still coexist today! Known for its cafés, art, culture, and a deep-rooted nautical tradition, Trieste is the ideal destination for a relaxing break amidst the sea, culture, and tradition!

Declared a City of Culture along with Nova Gorica in 2025, Gorizia is a city waiting to be discovered, where Latin, Slavic, and Germanic traditions coexist in a unique balance, and where the suspended atmosphere of border towns can still be felt.
