Italy: Friuli Venezia Giulia: Including Trieste, Udine, The Julian Alps And Carnia - Dana Facaros - English Book

Beskrivelse

This new, thoroughly updated second edition of Friuli Venezia Giulia continues Bradt's coverage of lesser-known but increasingly popular Italian regions. Forming much of the hinterland of Venice (but not - despite the name - including Venice itself), Friuli Venezia Giulia is a convenient and fascinating destination for spending time on the beach, in the Alps or relaxing in the countryside. It is celebrated also for its wines and distinctive cuisine, which are attracting worldwide attention. Written by long-time travel authors and Italy specialists Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, and updated by Mediterranean afficionado Julian McDonnell, detailed background and practical information about this ethnically and culturally diverse region are complemented by ten easy-to-follow chapters, providing in-depth city guides to Trieste and Udine, alongside covering the Trieste coast and the Carso, the Friuli coast, Gorizia and the Collio, Pordenone and Western Friuli, and the mountains: the Friulian Dolomites, Carnia and the Julian Alps. With Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia, explore this small but varied region in detail, from the Alps to coastal resorts, unspoiled wetlands and lagoons, and from medieval towns like Cividale del Friuli to the Megredi, a strange desert steppe, and the lovely wine region of Il Collio.
