Festival of the Walks of Aquileia
The festival of slow tourism, culture, and well-being in Aquileia
About Festival of the Walks
Walking to Know
Aquileia has always been a crossroads: a gateway between the Mediterranean and Central Europe, a hub of Roman roads, and today, a meeting point for great walking itineraries such as the Romea Strata and the Cammino Celeste. It is in this millennial setting, a UNESCO World Heritage site, that the Festival of the Walks of Aquileia was born, dedicated to slow tourism, culture, and well-being, with the idea that walking is above all a tool for knowledge.
Three Days Between Nature and Heritage
The festival offers a program that combines guided walks, archaeological routes, forest bathing sessions, and well-being workshops, spread across institutional spaces, archaeological areas, cellars, and cafes in the city. There are also moments for reflection on cultural policies, territorial development, and accessibility, as well as activities designed for children, for an experience suitable for all ages.
A Shared Journey
Organized by the Fondazione Aquileia in collaboration with Cammini d'Italia, the festival aims to promote walking as a slow and profound way to experience the landscape and history. Activities are free to enter with mandatory booking, in a format that combines cultural dissemination, contact with nature, and Aquileia's extraordinary historical heritage.
