Friuli Venezia Giulia Lonely Planet Guide

The Friuli Venezia Giulia Lonely Planet guide extensively covers all the region has to offer, with recommendations for both popular and lesser-known experiences.

Friuli Venezia Giulia is a northeast Italian region bordering Austria, Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea. It’s home to the sharp-peaked Dolomite Mountains and vineyards producing white wines. Trieste, the capital, was once part of the 19th-century Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its famous sights include the old quarter, the waterfront Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia square and Castello di Miramare, a former royal residence.
