July marks the peak of summer holidays in Friuli Venezia Giulia, as residents traditionally escape the cities for cooler mountain retreats or the breezy Adriatic coast.
Popular seaside destinations like Lignano Sabbiadoro and Grado are bustling, while others head north to the Carnic Alps for hiking and relaxation.
Local travel agencies report a surge in bookings to regional getaways, with many favoring nearby, nature-filled escapes over international trips. As temperatures climb, this annual exodus reflects both tradition and a growing appreciation for the diverse landscapes within Friuli itself. Wherever they go, locals are chasing cooler air and slower days.
