Family Holiday in Fruili Venezia Guilia

The Fruili Venezia Guilia region of northeast Italy is perfect for families seeking a beautiful, relaxing holiday away from crowds of tourists.

This hidden gem features elegant cities, stunning landscapes, and a delightful mélange of cultures. Your family can enjoy activities from winter mountain sports to summer swimming. 

An excellent location for your holiday home in Friuli Venezia Giulia is the city of Trieste, the regional capital. Its enchanting atmosphere has attracted many famous writers. Beautiful architecture and a seaside view make this city a lovely place for strolls. Facing the sea is the Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, a vast space for walking, eating, and watching the ships in the distance.

You can also take a short trip out of town to see Castello di Miramare, the unusual mansion of Archduke Maximilian of Austria. 

Castles are an exciting aspect of this Italian region. The Castel of Gorizia is notable for having endured the rules of many kingdoms. It was rebuilt after World War I and now houses ancient instruments and artefacts from the Medieval Ages. Udine also has a castle with several museums in it, including two on archeology and photography. 

Fruili Venezia Guilia is home to several notable historical sites. One of the most famous is the town of Aqualeia, which was once an important Roman megacity. Although much of it remains underground, what you can see has made this small town an UNESCO World Heritage Site. In its Gothic basilica, a massive 4th century mosaic has been preserved, and tourists can examine it from above on glass walkways. You can also explore the old forum and river port ruins. 

If your kids tire of history, there are fun amusement parks to choose from, such as Parco Junior in Lignano Sabbiadoro. While you’re in the city, you can also spend an afternoon at Parco Zoo Punta Verde. Children love this tidy and shady zoo full of animals and interactive exhibits.

Lignano Sabbiadoro also offers several resorts with beaches for water sports. As you relax, you should sample the diverse array of foods that have evolved from the merging of cultures in this region. 

Walking and hiking trails to accommodate any family abound in this region. The coastal path from Castello di Duino to Sistiana is a beautiful hike that is gentle enough for young children.

If you have older or more adventurous kids, you can travel to the Carnic Alps and hike up to the Sella di Razzo pass, which affords phenomenal views of the Dolomite peaks. For those who love skiing, the Fruili Dolomites have excellent ski resorts like Tavisio and Piancavallo, which have a relaxed atmosphere due to fewer tourists. Horseback riding in the Carnic hills is another unforgettable family activity. 

The final attraction to see in Fruili Venezia Guilia is the Grotta Gigante, which holds a Guinness Record for the largest tourist cave in the world. The 500 steps down into the cavern are split up into sections for easy access.
