Udine is only a couple of hours away on the train from where I'm living in Kärnten. But everything there seemed so different - the language, the architecture, even the weather was warmer! This is what I really like about living in continental Europe. You can explore so many countries, all with a different language and culture, so easily.
One great thing about Udine is that it's a small city and all the important sights are right next to each other, so it is very easy to explore on foot. (However it is a bit of a climb to get to the castle!) It is also not too touristic so you can look around without feeling pushed and shoved.
Now for some pictures of this beautiful city:
The cathedral
Piazza della Libertà (Unfortunately, my photos don't really do it justice!)

Udine is not the best known city in Italy, but it is definitely worth a visit!
