Northern Adriatic from/to Venice
Venice, Trieste and the lagoon are at the heart of this relaxed yacht voyage in the northern Adriatic. Short distances allow daily stops and nights at anchor, with time for a morning swim and shore visits.
Highlights
- Trieste: the cosmopolitan port city with its grand seafront square, the Piazza Unita.
- Miramare Castle: the white Habsburg castle above the gulf, set within a park.
- Grado: a lagoon idyll of narrow lanes and an ancient basilica.
- Venice lagoon: quiet anchorages among the islands within sight of the city skyline.
The finest way to sail: a new anchorage every day, plenty of time for watersports and going ashore, nights at anchor in a quiet bay and a morning swim before moving on.

How the route could go:
-
Venice · Embarkation
Venice spreads across some 120 islands in the lagoon on the northern Adriatic in Italy's Veneto region. St Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Grand Canal palazzos make this UNESCO World Heritage city unique.
-
Grado
On the northern Adriatic in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia lies the lagoon town of Grado on a long sandy island. The historic Basilica of Sant'Eufemia from the 6th century houses early Christian mosaics, and the fishermen's quarter Calle Lunga with its narrow lanes recalls the town's Venetian past.
-
Miramare Castle
-
Trieste
Trieste sits at the northern end of the Adriatic in Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. The port city, wedged between the karst plateau and the sea, still bears the marks of its Habsburg past.
-
(Piran)
Piran juts into the Adriatic as a slender peninsula and is the most Venetian town on the Slovenian coast. The sea of red-tiled roofs around Tartini Square, the medieval city walls and the nearby Sečovlje salt pans define its character.
