Location Description

HISTORY: The area of today’s Udine has been inhabited since the Neolithic by a group of Indo-European tribes, the Illyrians. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 6th century AD, the area increased in importance after the decline of Aquileia.

In 1420, Udine was conquered by the Republic of Venice, and remained under Venetian control until 1797. Beginning with February 27, 1511, Udine was affected by a terrible civil war. To aggravate the conditions of the population, in the days following the beginning of the war, a violent earthquake hit the area, almost destroying the city. Last but not least, the plague then struck the city, to make the situation even worse. Read More [...]

After a short French domination, the city became part of the Lombardy-Venetia Kingdom, a puppet state under the domination of the Austrian Empire. In 1866, Udine was included in the newly formed Kingdom of Italy.


GEOGRAPHY: Today, Udine is a city of about 100,000 inhabitants, located in the middle of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, in the northeastern Italy.

Udine is located about 72 kilometers northwest of Trieste, 111 kilometers northeast of Venice, 210 kilometers east of Verona, 258 kilometers northeast of Bologna, 275 kilometers east of Brescia, 350 kilometers northeast of Florence, 365 kilometers east of Milan, 470 kilometers northeast of Genoa, 600 kilometers northeast of Rome and 765 kilometers north of Naples.


TRANSPORT: The closest airport is the Trieste-Friuli Venezia Giulia International Airport, located about 39 kilometers southwest of the city. To get to Udine from the airport, you can take the APT Bus 51, for a one hour trip. The ticket costs 4.75€. Udine can also be reached from the Marco Polo Airport, in Mestre, located about 100 kilometers away, or from the Antonio Canova Airport, located near Treviso, about 104 kilometers away.

By train, you can get to Udine from Trieste in about 1 hour, and from Venice in about 2 hours. The cheapest ticket from Trieste costs 6.35€ and from Venice is 12.95€.


LANDMARKS: Udine preserves the typical imprint of medieval cities. Starting with the 10th century, the city developed around the castle hill, and the most important tourist attractions of the city can be found in this area.

Among the most famous attractions of Udine, we can mention the Castle of Udine, located on a hill overlooking the city, the Cathedral of Udine, the Loggia del Lionello, the Archbishop's Palace with frescoes by Tiepolo, the Venetian-style Piazza Libertà and Piazza Matteotti, which represents the heart of the city.

We love Italy. From north to south and from east to west. Or vice versa.

We love Italy for its history, culture and art, for its people, landscapes, cuisine and for its relaxed style of living.

We love its great metropolises like Rome, Milan or Naples, as well as its picturesque small villages like Portofino, Cefalù or Scilla, and everything else in between.


Over time, we visited over 100 Italian cities and, as tourists, we looked for the best transport and accommodation solutions, at the best possible prices.

We created this website to help some of the millions of tourists arriving each year in Italy.
