[ICTP Info Point]

*SATURDAY 23 August 2008: AQUILEIA TRIP*

 
BOOK NOW!

 

On Saturday 23 August, there will be a special guided tour by coach only 
for ICTP visitors and families to AQUILEIA (about 45 km from Trieste) 
*with an English-speaking guide.*

*AQUILEIA* is one of the most interesting sites in the Region, an 
ancient marshland settlement, with a 700-year Roman period dating back 
to 181 B.C. There are old Roman mosaics in the basilica and old Roman 
ruins spread out in a lovely landscape.

The discounted contribution requested for the tour is only *5,00 euro* 
/head - payable when you sign up - with an optional extra 2.50 euro/head 
entrance if you want to visit the crypt on the day of the trip.

At the end of the tour, there will be the possibility of getting off at 
*Grado* - a popular beach resort close to Aquileia - instead of heading 
back to Grignano. You could take the opportunity to visit this lovely 
lagoon city on your own, swim at the beach and spend the rest of the day 
there. _You will have to return to Trieste on your own_. There are many 
buses or ferry boats and the guide will have timetables at your disposal.

Those who are not interested in the Grado stopover will proceed by coach 
back to Grignano.

*MEETING POINT* at 9.20 a.m near Bus stop 36 in Grignano seaside where 
you'll see the coach and meet your guide.
*DEPARTURE TIME* is fixed at 9.30 a.m and return at 1.30 p.m.

*Come to the Info Point, Leonardo Building*, and sign up as soon as 
possible as it is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Don't miss Aquileia, it's well worth seeing!
