Udine’s hotel stock splits into two useful bands: the historic centre around Piazza Libertà, where you pay for the location, and the quieter quarters around the train station and Via Tricesimo to the north, where rates drop by 30 to 40 percent. Most of the city’s 100-plus hotels are mid-range 3 and 4-star properties, and there is no true luxury resort in town. This where to stay in Udine guide lists the best options in each area, and our Udine neighborhoods article explains the areas in more detail.

Where to Stay in Udine: Centro Storico

The Centro Storico puts every sight, osteria and shop within a 10-minute walk, which is why it is the best choice for a first visit. You trade parking convenience for location, as most streets are limited-traffic and paid parking rings the centre. Expect to pay €110 to €180 a night for a 4-star here, with rates peaking during the Far East Film Festival and Friuli DOC. See our Udine travel guide for more detail.

Suggested Hotels in Centro Storico

Where to Stay in Udine: Near the Station and Via Tricesimo

The area north of the centre, around the station and along Via Tricesimo, is where most of Udine’s lower-cost hotels sit. You are a 10 to 15 minute walk or a short bus ride from Piazza Libertà, and free or cheap parking is far easier to find here. Rates run €60 to €110 a night, which makes this the smart pick for budget travellers and anyone arriving by train or continuing on toward the Alps or Austria. See our travel tips guide for more detail.

Before you book, compare the areas in our neighborhoods guide and check the events and festivals calendar, since the film festival and Friuli DOC weekends sell out central hotels months early.
