Centro Storico, the historical heart of Udine, is a prime location for tourists seeking to immerse themselves in the city’s rich cultural heritage. The area is dotted with charming piazzas, such as Piazza della Libertà and Piazza San Giacomo, which are lined with cafés and restaurants. Here, you can find accommodations ranging from luxury hotels to quaint, family-run guesthouses. Staying in the Centre ensures that landmarks like the Udine Castle and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata are only a short stroll away.
For those looking for a more contemporary atmosphere, the area around Stazione di Udine, the city's main railway station, offers modern hotels with easy access to both regional trains and international bus services. The vicinity to the transport hub makes it ideal for day trips to nearby cities and attractions.
Another sought-after district is Città Fiera, particularly among shoppers and travellers who appreciate convenience. Located on the outskirts of Udine, it is home to the largest shopping centre in the region, and the accommodation is generally more affordable. This area offers good public transport connections back to the centre and is particularly convenient for those travelling by car, with ample parking facilities.
The city centre is pedestrian-friendly and best explored on foot, allowing visitors to enjoy its medieval lanes and Renaissance architecture at a leisurely pace. There's a reliable network of public buses that connect the central areas with the suburbs and nearby points of interest. For those preferring private transport, taxi services are readily available, and car rental is a good option for visiting the more remote areas of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region.
