One of my favorite places to stroll around to remind myself of the great history in Northern Italy. Not a lot of visitors make it to these sites. If you go, don't miss the National Archaeological Museum. I finally went in during my last visit (December 2009) and was amazed at their collection. There's more to see than indicated in this article. Check out the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquileia) but in truth, there's even more than described there. It is on the Unesco list of World Heritage sites. As far as I know, there is no train station nearby and I've not seen buses in the town. I've driven there for my visits. It is on the SS352. If you're driving East from Venice, look for the exits to Grado. The exits are near the Outlet shops at Palmanova. While in the area, I also suggest stopping at Palmanova (the city, not the outlet mall) for a great representation of a "star fort". Palmanova is North of Aquileia. Grado is also a great beach city. To get to Grado, continue on SS352 south of Aquileia. I love visits to Aquileia. One of my favorite places to stroll around to remind myself of the great history in Northern Italy.
