Recommended Routes

Here are some of the best places to go running in Gorizia:

1. Parco della Rimembranza

Located in the heart of the city, Parco della Rimembranza is a green space perfect for those who love jogging surrounded by nature. With its tree-lined paths and picnic areas, this park offers several loops that can be adapted to your preferred distance and intensity. The benches scattered along the route are ideal if you want to stop for a moment during your workout or simply enjoy the view of some of the local attractions.

2. Isonzo Riverfront

Running along the Isonzo River is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque ways to experience the area. This running route follows the riverbanks, offering scenic views of the surrounding vegetation and the crystal-clear water flowing peacefully beside you. The riverfront features flat stretches that are perfect even for beginners; you can decide how much time to spend on it, since you can turn back whenever you want.

3. Slovenian Collio

For adventurers looking for something different from the usual city streets, I highly recommend the trails of the Slovenian Collio, located just across the border from the city center of Gorizia. Here you’ll find various routes nestled among the region’s iconic vineyards: you can alternate between short runs on soft terrain and challenging climbs to tackle! This experience will not only improve your physical endurance but also enrich your spirit through stunning views of the wine-growing hills, where you might even come across cyclists or other runners from time to time!

In the immediate vicinity of the castle of the same name, there’s a small green area that also features a well-marked circuit, allowing athletes to perform various training sessions (warm-ups/sprints). Plus, while running here, you’ll be able to admire its grandeur! If you’re lucky, you might even get to attend musical events held right in the medieval courtyard! So why not combine exercise with art?
Just bring your smartphone along so that after finishing your workout, you can capture these magical moments!
