Hi Michele. Would love to hear accomodation recommendations for this trip as we hope to do something similar.Close to three weeks in the region.. lovely.
Udine, Gorizia, Trieste.. esp. Trieste
Happy to answer questions
your plans sound perfect. We used Udine as a base for 4 days— too long.. 2-3 better. We visited San Daniele and Aquila— highly recommend both. Bus to both— we didn’t have a car.Michele, We have a 32 night trip planned for November/December this year. We're spending the first week in Venice (third visit, but the first time for more than a few nights) and we'll be flying home from Budapest.
I realize the weather may not be great but we always travel at this time of year and are often very pleasantly surprised.
We're planning to spend time in both Udine and Trieste before heading to Slovenia. I was thinking of 2-3 nights in Udine and 5-7 in Trieste. Did you base yourself in more than one location? I'd love to hear your opinion on these places. We're interested in art and ambiance--we love walking. I've read quite a bit about Trieste and it sounds fantastic. We won't have a car so will be travelling by train and bus.
Trieste: Hilton e Tree on Piazza Republicca— fabulous in every way, location, building, staffHi Michele. Would love to hear accomodation recommendations for this trip as we hope to do something similar.
Thanks Michele--That's exactly what I was hoping to hear as we're planning at least 5 nights.
Ljubljana has a small old town area surrounded by a modern city. It was very pleasant to walk the old town, enjoy the architecture and scenery, and do a little nighttime champagne cruise on the river, but, as you note, weather could determine how much outside time would be open to you. I think it was about a 10 walk from our hotel to any point in the old town.Thanks Alpinista, That’s something to consider. But since we have the luxury of time on this trip and the days will be short, I want a few longer stays. We’ll be in apartments and that always seems to eat up quite a bit of time.
I am planning a couple of nights in Ljubljana en route to Salzburg but I don’t know if the weather will make it worthwhile going to Lake Bled. But, of course, that’s unpredictable.
These decisions make me crazy!
