There are Italian villages that sell houses for the price of a cup of coffee, places that pay you to move there, and now there's a region that will pay you just to visit — reimbursing visitors' journeys if they travel by train from anywhere in Italy
Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the far northeast of the country, will reimburse visitors' journeys if they travel by train from anywhere in Italy. If that's not enough to make you hop onboard, the region will also give you a card that gains free entry to museums, free public transport, and discounts elsewhere.The only catch? You must stay at least two nights.
Starting from today and running until May 31 2023, PromoTurismoFVG -- the local tourist board -- will refund the domestic train fares of travelers arriving in cities Trieste and Udine, and at the coastal resorts of Grado and Lignano Sabbiadore, in a bid to promote sustainable travel.Visitors may travel on state-run Trenitalia trains, from the regular regional lines to Intercity and the high-speed Frecce lines.
So where to go? Trieste is one of the great cities of northern Italy, although it doesn't always feel like Italy. Annexed by the Austro-Hungarian empire, who made it their main port, it was only returned to Italy after World War I. That means there's a Viennese-style coffee culture, with whole swathes of the city built by the Austrians -- as well as older areas, and even Roman remains.
