Sunday in Udine, Udine, Italy
For our first day trip abroad as a family I chose a town in Italy which I haven鈥檛 visited before. As it turned out my聽frivolous聽method of choosing聽Udine聽for a day trip was an excellent choice because we spent a wonderful Sunday in a surprisingly聽pretty聽town. Udine is the second largest city in聽Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region聽in the northeastern Italy between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps. The capital of this autonomous region is聽Trieste,聽a city I know quite well.
I googled the major sights of聽Udine聽and made a loose plan of what to do/see on our day trip. However, I didn鈥檛 think much about the actual drive to Udine (only two and a half hours from our home) or the parking in the city. So, when we saw the exit for Udine my husband smartly decided to pull over and actually check on GPS which exit we have to take to get in the city center. All I wanted was to park somewhere near the train station because I thought that the train station (or McDonald鈥檚) would be a good option for having baby changing facilities. No, the train station doesn鈥檛 have it (it has free toilets, usually you have to pay for them in Italy) but McDonald鈥檚 which is just across the train station has a toilet with the baby changing pad so we sorted baby V. out before we commenced our sightseeing of Udine. The plan was actually to use the service station along the motorway before we entered Udine but since there was none my idea of parking near the train station was a good one. Parking was free and it seems that parking in Italy on a Sunday is always free (at least in this part of Italy). ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
