Location:
In northern Istria, the small town of Novigrad offers a pleasant alternative to more well-known destinations like Rovinj and Pula. Situated only about 25 minutes from the Slovenian border, Novigrad provides the opportunity to explore two beautiful Balkan countries in one trip.
Novigrad is renowned for its excellent restaurants, including highly rated establishments such as Marina and Damir & Ornella, both offering fresh fish and seafood. The town hosts various festivals throughout the year, including the foodie Gnam-Gnam Fest and the intriguing Lunasa Astral Party.
Notable sights in Novigrad include the old town walls and the Church of St Pelagius and St Maximus with its distinctive bell tower. Visitors can also explore the Lapidarium Museum for contemporary art and artefacts from the church crypt or the maritime history museum, Gallerion. Croatia’s first water park, Aqualand Istralandia, is also nearby and is one of the highest-rated water parks in Europe.
A drive down the coast leads to Poreč, now a popular resort with historic gems such as a Roman Old Town and the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its wonderful gold mosaics. Guests can also walk or cycle the Parenzana Trail, which offers scenic views and a chance to appreciate the natural beauty of the region.
