Friuli, Italy, guide: what to see plus the best bars, hotels and restaurants
Driving east from Venice along the autostrada, it only takes half an hour to leave the tourists behind and cross into the very different world of Friuli. This autonomous and proudly independent region is officially known as Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a wild and still little-known corner of Italy that has its own language, a distinctive local cuisine, and a host of world-famous wines grown on rolling hillside vineyards. Strategically located at the crossroads of central Europe, Friuli stretches over Italy’s north-eastern border, from the lagoons and sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast to the grand maritime port of Trieste, along the frontier with Slovenia, then up into wild Alpine scenery and the border with Austria. The first visit here can come as a surprise, compared with Tuscany or Umbria. But it is so easy to fall under the charm of the unspoilt landscape and the warm welcome that many travellers find themselves returning.

Virgin launches new Upper Class – plus the latest airline, hotel and cruise news
The latest version of the lauded, award-winning Upper Class Suite offers the longest, full-flat bed in business class and has taken four years to develop. It’s undeniably a fantastic way to travel, with aisle access for every seat, impeccable service, superb catering and subtle mood lighting. The bar has been moved away from the seats, so it’s quieter in the cabin and the seating layout has been adjusted so you’re not looking directly at the passengers opposite so much. Glazed seat sides make each compartment more light and airy. For sleep, the seat converts to a bed slightly less easily than the previous version – although normally the crew do that for you – but, once you’re tucked up with a complimentary sleepsuit, duvet, eyeshades and earplugs, it’s absolutely blissful and in the morning there’s a seriously good breakfast. The new JAM entertainment system is top notch – a 12in touch-screen monitor with a touch-screen handset and a large choice of films, TV and music. Or … [Read more...] about Virgin launches new Upper Class – plus the latest airline, hotel and cruise news
