Grado, Italy: A beach vacation surrounded by ancient culture

Friuli region: The beach town of Grado sits in the northeast corner of Italy, surrounded by Slovenia, Austria, Venezia and the Adriatic sea. It's a convergence of cultures defined by its
traditions, its people and its cuisine.

The history: The roots of Grado go back 1,500 years, and the history is told through the old city's Roman-era churches and narrow, cobbled streets.

Today: Grado is equal parts history and luxury. By day,
you will relax at a world-class beach. By night, you can stroll
the ancient center, which is now lined by cafes, wine bars and local restaurants.
