Gorizia trip planner

In the 19th century Gorizia attracted so many members of the Austrian and French nobility that many began calling it the "Austrian Nice." Today, this charming small town still showcases its Habsburg history in many preserved gardens and buildings. Just across the border, you can visit Gorizia's Slovenian counterpart, Nova Gorica. The two towns, though officially in different countries, form a unified urban center chosen to serve together as European Capital of Culture in 2025. The meeting of eastern and western worlds makes Gorizia supremely interesting to fans of history and culture. The surrounding countryside, on both sides of the border, appeals to nature lovers with its scenic hills and rivers.
