One of Italy’s most alluring regions is also one of its hidden treasures. This tiny corner of the country, tucked away in the north-east, borders Austria and Slovenia. It spans the Alps, Dolomites and the Adriatic yet is less than two hours’ drive from Venice.
Thanks to its varied and untouched natural environment, it represents a haven for outdoor lovers, from hiking and river-rafting in summer to skiing in winter. Visitors also marvel at the sheer amount of history and culture found here, in its cities, buildings and gastronomic credentials.
