What You Will Do
Udine, historic city of art where you can breathe the Venetian past.
During this tour with a professional and cheerful guide, we will discover the Venetian (and not only) past of the Friulian capital. We will visit the places that have marked its thousand-year history.
The influence of the long Venetian rule is still clearly visible in the architecture of the squares, loggias and stately buildings.
Nicknamed "city of Tiepolo" for the many artistic works left by this famous Venetian baroque painter.
The historic center extends around the hills with the castle at the top. From here at the top, your view will sweep over the red roofs of the city and then fly towards the Alps.
Udine is an elegant and convivial city, dense cafes, excellent restaurants, taverns serving typical Friulian dishes and wine bars to enjoy a good glass of wine. The trendy shops are suitable for shopping.
Udine, a true hidden pearl awaits you!
