FVGcard Aquileia&Grado, 48 hours between culture and sea with one pass

A single pass to explore two of Friuli Venezia Giulia’s most significant destinations while optimizing time and costs. This is the idea behind the FVGcard Aquileia&Grade, the new digital card designed for those who want to discover the historical, artistic and cultural heritage of Aquileia and Grade through an integrated system of access and services.

Available as of April 1, 2026, the card has a 48-hour duration from the first use and is configured as a true single ticket that allows free entry to numerous affiliated facilities, as well as taking advantage of dedicated discounts and services. The cost is set at 20 euros and includes one adult and one child or youth under 18, making it an affordable solution for families as well. It can be purchased from the official website of tourism in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

The FVGcard Aquileia&Grade is part of a territorial enhancement strategy that aims to network the main places of interest of the two localities, simplifying the visiting experience and encouraging a wider and more conscious enjoyment of the heritage. The operation is entirely digital: once activated, the card allows direct access to participating sites, eliminating the need to purchase individual tickets.

Among the sites included in the circuit are some of the most important archaeological complexes and museums in the area. In Aquileia, the route starts from the Basilica of Aquileia, one of the main examples of early Christian architecture in Italy, known for its mosaics. In the same urban context, the Baptistery, the Südhalle, the Domus and Episcopal Palace complex, and the Domus of Titus Macro are also accessible free of charge, fundamental evidence for understanding the structure and life of the Roman city.

Also in Aquileia, the card includes admission to the National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia, which holds a vast collection of artifacts from the ancient Roman colony and provides an in-depth picture of its history and role in the context of the Empire. Along with museum admission, organized guided tours and an audio guide are also included, both free of charge for the card holder and a minor, useful tools for deepening one’s knowledge of the sites and orienting oneself within the archaeological heritage.

The tour continues in Grade, where the card allows access to the Upper Adriatic National Museum of Underwater Archaeology, dedicated to maritime history and artifacts recovered from the Adriatic seabed. This is complemented by the Grade Treasure Museum, which houses objects related to the religious and cultural traditions of the lagoon city.

Free guided tours are also provided in Grade for the cardholder and a minor, offering an additional level of insight and making the experience more complete and structured. The integration of entrances, services and cultural mediation tools is one of the distinctive elements of the proposal, which aims to make heritage accessible to a wide and diverse audience.

From a practical point of view, the validity of the FVGcard Aquileia&Grade starts from the first use, thus allowing flexible management of visit time. The schedules of individual facilities and included activities may vary, and it is therefore necessary to check them through the official websites of the museums and tourist services involved, in order to plan your itinerary in the best possible way.

The card is proposed as a tool that combines economic convenience and organizational simplification, but also as an invitation to discover two complementary territories in an integrated way. Aquileia, with its extraordinary archaeological heritage, and Grade, with its lagoon and maritime dimension, in fact offer different but deeply connected experiences, which the FVGcard relates within a single itinerary.

The proposal is aimed as much at casual visitors as at those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the area, offering a balance between ease of use and richness of the offer. In this sense, the FVGcard Aquileia&Grade is configured as a tool capable of accompanying the public on a 48-hour journey through history, archaeology and landscape, connecting past and present through an integrated system of experiences.
