@ Linda
Have spent time there, but not from a tourist perspective.

A close mate took a short-term position at the Law School within the University of Udine after we had completed our master's and invited me over.
I like the city, particularly the juxtaposed/melded influences from the long-time rule of the Venetian empire and the Baroque of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
If you go and find you like it, please be keep relatively quiet about it. Would hate to see it overrun by box tickers.
Regards Ron

We stayed in Udine for 3 nights several years ago. It was very easy to walk around and was very charming.
