Well known for its air base, Aviano is home to the Aviano Air Base, operated by the United States Air Force and home to the the 31st Fighter Wing. The two F-16 squadrons in the 31st Fighter Wing conduct regional NATO operations, according to the Aviano Air Base website.
The golf courses of Aviano provide avid and amateur golfers with several courses, including the Golf Club Castel d' Aviano. The Golf Club Castel d' Aviano offers nine holes of rolling hills, changes in elevation and lots of blind shots, states a "Golf Europe" article.
On a hill just outside the city sits the remains of the Castle of Aviano. As City Round states, the Renaissance-style church Santa Maria e Giuliana used to be part of the castle, but all that remains on the property are two towers, the mastio and walls.
Aviano includes several places to stay, including The Hotel Villa Policreti, near the Golf Club Castel d' Aviano. With parts of the hotel built in the 1500s, the Hotel Villa Policreti offers guests an old-world Italian experience, states a "Golf Europe" article.
