Introducing Gorizia
Welcome to an ex-frontier town. The Iron Curtain sliced right through this Italo-Slovene twin settlement during the Communism era in the former Yugoslavia. In 2004, an independent Slovenia joined the EU, three years later adopted the euro and in 2008 joined the Schengen area, dropping all border controls with Italy.

Gorizia, an easy day trip from Udine or Trieste, was ceded to Italy by Austria after WWI and encompasses the historic old town. Nova Gorica (New Gorizia) is a largely soulless creation of the Tito years, erected largely as a counter town. Even on the Italian side, however, the historical Slovene influence is evident in street signs.
