Plan your Borderless Visit

Nova Gorica and Gorizia share the same commitment: divided by conflicts in the past but united by friendship and cooperation in the present, the two cities have set themselves the ambitious goal of becoming the first Borderless European Capital of Culture. 

Discover the natural beauty of Goriška, the emerald Soča River that flows from its Alpine source to the Adriatic delta, the vineyards of Brda, and the spectacular Vipava Valley. Explore the green architecture and modernist style of Nova Gorica, and witness the thousand-year history of Gorizia with its spectacular cathedrals and castles.
