Visiting the surroundings

Venice

Only 113 km away. Venice is one of the most fascinating cities in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site together with its lagoon. The heart of the city is St Mark's Square, with its famous bell tower, the majestic Basilica and the Doge's Palace. A visit to the islands of Marano and Burano is not to be missed.

The Grado and Marano lagoon by motorboat

The Marano Lagoon, home to two Regional Nature Reserves: the 'Foci del Fiume Stella' and 'Valle Canal Novo' - is connected to Lignano Sabbiadoro by motorboat service. Here, you can admire unspoilt flora and fauna. Guided tours of the casoni, ancient fishermen's dwellings, are an atmospheric and unmissable experience.

Trieste

Only 99 km away. Trieste, the capital of our region, is a fascinating mix of Mediterranean and Central European influences. Don't miss the majesty of Piazza Unità d'Italia, Europe's largest square overlooking the sea. We recommend visiting the Molo Audace, the Castle and San Giusto Cathedral, the Grand Canal, the Victory Lighthouse and the city’s historic cafés.

The Parco dello Stella and the Ariis Acquario

Only 33 km away. Parco dello Stella offers cycling and walking trails through forests, meadows and watercourses, with a rich fauna of amphibians, fish and insects. The Aquarium of Ariis di Rivignano, on the other hand, is a freshwater museum housing fish species from the river ecosystem of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
