Very old church from the byzantine period of time located in Poreč. The scripts are amazing. Part of the church was destroyed in the earthquake few centuries ago. The church is well preserved and in a good shape. In the church complex there is also a museum and exhibition. Fee has to be paid.

Euphrasian Basilica was built in the 6th century on the site of an early Christian church, in the time of Bishop Euphrasius and Emperor Justinian I, and is located in the episcopal complex. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1997. It is well preserved and defectively place for a visit if you are nearby.
Daniel Haman — Google review
Unbelievable historic and religious complex that is still preserved almost exactly as it was in the 6th century! Beautiful mosaics and statue carvings. It is set right against the town walls overlooking the glittering Adriatic waters! Truly a well deserved UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of the mosaics go back to the 4th century and you can see the ancient Roman walls that connect to the structure. The main building that is currently a museum and place of worship is an almost complete 6th century building with just minor updates. It really is like stepping back in time! Tickets are 10 euros and you can go through on your own or pay extra for an audioguide. The signs are in English, Italian and Spanish as well as Croatian. It was not very crowded at all when I went on a Monday afternoon in late June.

Fascinating and unevitable part of the city. The basilica has memories from over the last 1500-1600 years which is amazing! The Roman mosaics, part of the ancient christianity, the enterieur and the exhibition are also superworthy! It is worth to allocate at least 1-2 hours to the visit! Do not miss!

Beautiful decorated altar in this Basilica and when I visited in November 2022 very quiet. And ticket sales were closed then so I had free entry.
Next to the church is a large Roman mosaic

One more beautiful and very interesting place to participate. It is full of history and really awesome. Porec itself is very ancient city, and basalica is the core. Amazing architecture, great exhibition. With no doubt, it is mandatory to see. It would be no so interesting for small children, but anyway there are a lot of space and kids will be happy enough. No beverages or snacks inside, be ready. And one more good point, there are not so hot as outside, and it is extra bonus to go there.
Pavlo Shaternik — Google review
It worth to visit in case you want to see something else but the regular boring typical touristic places. From the tower you will have a very nice 360 view. But prepare yourself to for the stairs!
The adult tickets will be 50 kuna per person. You should be open for culture and history to visit the place.
The lack of information around the building in English was a little bit disappointing.
Gergely Murányi — Google review
View is nice, but think about visiting it twice if you are with small kids. The number of visitors allowed to go up is not controlled at all, it's a total chaos both upside and downside. When we went up we had to wait at every corner to allow others to go down. When we tried to go down, the tourists going up did not stop, the observation point became totally overcrowded and many of us had to shout to start going downwards.

Once you have paid the entrance fee it will become quite clear to you why this Basilica was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. It shows the early Byzantine style and it is in very good shape considering how old it is. If you are planning to visit Poreč or a nearby place, I would say that this Basilica should top your list!
Wine Bar OLD TOWN in Poreč is located within the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, which dates back to ancient Roman times. The area boasts narrow streets, ancient ruins, and architectural monuments alongside charming shops and antique stores.

Perfect place in old town. The best wine and food plate. Traditional Istrian prosciutto 👌🏻 value for money is Great. Staff is friendly. I will definitely go back. Recommend to everyone.

Christoph Heiß — Google review
We were at the Bacchus the night before, and decided to give it a try to other bars on the street.
Unfortunately the experience was not the best. All the food platters are always for 2 people, and the night before at Bacchus a food platter for one was already enormous and enough for us two. So, we have decided to only have wine and have dinner with real food somewhere else later. I wonder if you are traveling alone how will you finish a food platter for two or what will you order from the menu.
Also, the prices are way higher than the other bars on the street, and the waiter was all the time on his phone. He did not seemed interested in taking orders or in his work.
That is probably why it was the emptiest bar on the street at the time.

In woorden is het moeilijk te beschrijven hoe lekker wij gegeten hebben. Daarbij kwamen ook nog eens de gratis shotjes en de geweldige bediening. We hadden een overheerlijke plank besteld met kaas een vlees waarbij de bediende stuk voor stuk uitlegde wat het was. We waren met zijn 5e en we hadden twee planken voor twee personen en dat was meer dan genoeg. De truffel plank was erg aan te raden! De prijs is ook nog eens zo laag dat je je bijna schuldig begint te voelen. Dit was ons hoogtepuntje van porec en komen hier zeker terug.

It is difficult to describe in words how delicious our meal was. In addition, there were free shots and great service. We ordered a delicious platter with cheese and meat and the clerk explained each item what it was. There were 5 of us and we had two boards for two people and that was more than enough. The truffle plank was highly recommended! The price is also so low that you almost start to feel guilty. This was our highlight of Porec and we will definitely come back here.

Amazing food, a great place to try some traditional Istrian food (istrian ham, sausages, cheese...) and bonus - great cocktails in old town, surrounded by beautiful historical buildings.
Servers were great and fun to talk to, service was fast.
We were so satisfied, that we came here multiple times 👍🏻
And will for sure come back again. 😉

A lovely little bar in the old town of Porec. A good selection of wines and at approx. €18 a litre caraf very good value. Particularly recommended the Muscat. Nedim, the waiter was excellent, friendly and took time to explain the wine selection.

Venezia Lines are a great option for travelers looking to get to Venice by boat. They offer day trips from various ports in Croatia and Slovenia, which give you the opportunity to see the city in a single day. Their boats are the fastest at the Adriatic, and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You also receive a guided tour of St Mark's Square on board, so you don't have to worry about being left alone.
I can't say enough positive things about this ferry service. From the moment we boarded, the crew made us feel welcome and taken care of. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about Venice and shared fascinating stories and facts throughout the journey. The day we spent in Venice was nothing short of magical, thanks to the seamless transportation and expert guidance provided by this service. I highly commend them for their excellent service and unforgettable experience!

My friend and I took the ferry from Venice to Rovinj. The voyage was pleasant and boarding easy, however when we got on the boat in Venice they took our passports!
We arrived at the docked boat after going through security and passport control with the italian police. The crew greated us and asked again for our passports. They then took our passports and gave us a small laminated piece of paper with a number on it and no explanation. This, naturally, made us quite worried.
When we landed in Pula, all the passengers going to Rovinj were asked to disembark for passport control. They said nothing about our passports until we reached the passport check. There, one of the crew members was standing with the stack of everyones passports with a numbered sticky notes on the back of each. The crew member gave me my friend's by mistake and the entire process of giving them back was extremely disorganized.
Our guess was that they took the passports to stop illegal immigration, but we received absolutely no explanation.
It is extremely nerve-wracking to be so far from home and have your passport taken and there was definitely a moment where I feared something bad could be happening. I understand if there are security measures that need to be taken, but if this happened to me again without explanation I would refuse to give my passport.
Other than that the voyage was as you would expect. The captain was very good homoured, although the staff were a bit unfriendly.

Overall a positive experience. The journey is 3 hours each way and it was swelteringly hot. That said the staff were very helpful and friendly. The guides did a full presentation on what to expect, what to see in Venice. They were both knowledgeable and entertaining. There were optional extras that they successfully sold to us. €20 for a morning transfer to San Marco Plaza. This was very good. We had seat on the open air top deck for good views and again there was full commentary from our guides. €30 for the afternoon transfer was more disappointing. The water taxis are covered so there is limited view. All in all we paid €120 per person 8ncluding the 2 optional extras mentioned above and on balance we do not regret. We saw Venice, had ample time to see the key sights, the organisation was good, everything ran to time. Thankyou.

My trip from Venice to Rovinj could have been a bit nicer, but the ferry was packed to the gills. The crossing itself was pleasant enough, although getting outside for longer than just the Venice bay but I understand it's due to the speed of the boat. The seats are a little old and could use a bit of care and attention. Definitely a few need fixing as I couldn't stop my seat from reclining.
My return trip a few days later was better, with less people on board. There was a little confusion at boarding when the guy taking bags on board did it prior to VIP tags being put on. This led to one of my party only getting one of his bags off of the boat when the VIP people left and having to wait for his bags at the end, leaving him a long time in line for passport control. I missed our arrival into Venice as I was asleep but I understand that the door wasn't opened to allow people on deck.
That said, as voyages go, when I'm heading to Rovinj next year, I'll probably take the ferry again. It was cheap, gave me time to sleep after a tiring weekend and got me where I needed to be at a convenient time.

Appears to be a bus company masquerading as a ferry service.
Our evening ferry from Venice to Porec was cancelled. We were notified early enough (morning of the same day) and offered a refund or bus. We took the bus so we could continue our travels without disruption. Travel time was only a tad longer than the ferry would have been.
But we paid for a ferry... and instead got a bus trip which could have cost us a quarter of the price if we just went and did that in the first place.
With 34 people on the bus I do wonder if this is the more beneficial way for them to operate. If not, and there really was "technical difficulties" with the ferry, it must be a very dodgy ferry because there's a lot of reviews to show this happens quite frequently.

The best way to get to Venice by the ship. Malta-based operators have day trips from various ports in Croatia and Slovenia. It is great opportunity to see Venice in a day.
Their catamarans are the fastest at the Adriatic, staff is friendly and guides very skilled.
You get presentation of Venice and their programs on board, they take you around to St. Mark's Square on a guided tour, so you are not left on your own. They can help you save time and see most in a day for normal amount of money.
Highly recommended.

The morning started well, the shuttle and the boat arrived on time. The services offered on the ship are overpriced. Two toilets for hundreds of people is not acceptable. The ship was delayed at least 40 minutes in Venice. By the way, the organization was fine in Venice. The first major problem is getting back to the port, those who didn't take a taxi were left on their own. After a long wait at the port, they informed us that there were technical problems with the ship and that we could not go back with it. We were without information on the way back. It took at least fifty minutes for a plan B, which was to walk at least 1.5 km to the train station, no water or other drinks were provided in the heat. Several of us were sick from the excitement. We had to go by train to Trieste and then continue by bus. Again, this was chaotic organization. We arrived home three hours late and missed dinner. We did not get what we expected for the original price, the two stars are for Venice, not VeneziaLines. It was a disappointment, we do not recommend it to anyone!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Venezia Lines service, and I must say it was an exceptional journey from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all passengers. The ferry itself was not only comfortable but also offered breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea as we approached Venice. Upon arrival, I was immediately enchanted by Venice's canals, stunning architecture, and romantic atmosphere. Exploring the narrow streets, visiting St. Mark's Square, and indulging in local cuisine were highlights of my trip. Taking a gondola ride through the canals is a must, and the Rialto Bridge offers incredible views of the Grand Canal. I highly recommend Venezia Lines for an amazing and hassle free trip to this beautiful city. Venice is a destination that should be on everyone's travel bucket list, and I'll be sure to share my experience with friends and family

Booked ferry Porec to Venice departing 7am 3rd June 2023 - Arrived in good time ahead of the 60 minutes check in closure period to find that the check in staff arrive only 30 minutes before departure, very early start not needed! Check in staff then casually informed us that there is no ferry due to a ‘technical’ issue and that a bus replacement service would be arranged departing 2 hours later than original ferry departure. No further explanation given and no apology offered except that if we accepted the bus alternative no refunds would be offered. They have arranged for free a coffee so let’s see whether we arrive in our planned destination, Venice on time…disappointing experience so far🤨
Update - Bus arrives to collect us and fellow passengers, approx 12, there are a similar number of others on the bus when it arrives, which ferry were they Supposed to be on? We are then told we would be stopping to collect other passengers en-route to Venice. So looks like a lot of ferries with ‘technical’ issues. Fortunately we are from the UK so are very adept at identifying when we are not being told the truth, Brexit has had some benefits! So the real story appears to be that there were not enough booked paying passengers to run three ferries so it’s cheaper to hire one bus for less than 60 people and pick up from three different ports. The ‘technical’ issue with the ferry is the simplest excuse to palm us off with. Can’t wait for the reply to this, no doubt it will be full of ‘technical’ non truths!

👎 Informés par mail à 11 heures que notre bateau de 17 heures avait un problème technique (cela a l’air d’arriver souvent sur cette compagnie à en croire les avis précédents …) et qu’il serait remplacé par un bus ….. dommage pour une compagnie de bateaux. Nous avons dû venir très en avance pour comprendre la solution alternative proposée ….. une demi-journée à Venise perdue …. aucun dédommagement prévu. Vu le prix autant prendre un Flixbus direct. J’imagine que le trajet risque d’être long avec les embouteillages en plein mois de juillet ….. franchement pas recommandable.

👎 Informed by email at 11 a.m. that our 5 p.m. boat had a technical problem (this seems to happen often with this company according to previous reviews...) and that it would be replaced by a bus... too bad for a boat company. We had to come very early to understand the alternative solution proposed….. half a day in lost Venice…. no compensation provided. Given the price, you might as well take a direct Flixbus. I imagine that the journey could be long with the traffic jams in the middle of July... frankly not recommended.

The day before our departure we read the reviews and were quite anxious for our trip with Venezia lines, San pawl. But our experience was great from start to finish. We however, did not do the trip during the high season and neither the day trip from Croatia to Venice and back.
We took the boat one way, in mid September, from Venice to Rovinj.
No long announcements and sale pitches. Working AC (not to cold but nice to have a sweater). It was bumpy, sure, but what can you expect from the open sea, and most people seemed to enjoy the waves.
The seats were comfy and spacious.
Pro tip: Bring with you a sweater and noice canceling headphones (engine is quite loud).
Great way to travel as an option to bus/train/flight. Would probably do it again.

It was/is very very cold on the boat (Rovinj-Venice). They gave us blankets but the temperature is not pleasant at all, I have never been on a cruise where all people was freezing and can't relax 😥😬. You can have all comfort from other services but not noticed if you can't enjoy it at all.
Stancija Collis is a charming family-owned boutique winery located in the midst of vineyards, just 6 km from Rovinj. Visitors can easily reach the winery by cab or bike to enjoy wine tasting, stunning views, and a laid-back ambiance. Guests have had memorable experiences at Stancija Collis, where they sampled a variety of organic wines while being regaled with stories about the winery's history and the family's dedication to biodynamic production.
Amazing experience! Definitely worth a trip- even if it is out of your way. Juraj is a wonderful host. Great wine, oil, food and even greater company!

I made a reservation for my husband’s birthday one month in advance of our arrival. The day and time came and we were left alone at a clearly empty property. We made the mistake of assuming they’d honour the agreement and waited 2 hours. As I explained in advance it was my husband’s birthday and we were travelling with a baby. They didn’t answer the phone, they didn’t reply to the emails, nothing. About four hours after our agreed meeting time they emailed unapologetically and said to come whenever we want during the week. I guess this is the service from an overly commercial enterprise that doesn’t need individual customers. Doesn’t leave a good taste in the mouth but obviously I can’t speak to the wine we never had the chance to taste.

Really cool place, the owners are super nice and the property on a high hill with a great view of the sea and the coastline. The olive oil was top notch and the wines tasted very good too.

We went for a beautiful afternoon to this great family-owned winery. Surrounded by rolling hills with symmetric rows of grapevines in the background, we were nestled cozily under a gorgeous canopy of kiwi vine ripe with fruits ready for the picking. The hosts were so hospitable and happy to answer all of our questions. It was a delightful day full of cheese, house-smoked meats, fresh grapes, and the best sweetest, plump, fresh figs I’ve ever had the opportunity to taste. What a treat! We will definitely return!

What a fantastic and special family winery! Definitely worth a visit. We were road-tripping to Rovinj, happened to see their sign, and decided check it out… which turned out to be the best impromptu stop ever. The owner was so welcoming and explained in detail the history behind the property, the wines, the olive oil and the cheese/salami platter we tried. Since tourist season wasn’t yet in full force, we were the only ones there and felt so lucky to get such personalized attention from her. The olive oil and wines were some our favorites on this trip! And the setting was so magical as we sat under the shade of a kiwi trellis whose flowers were in bloom. We also met her adorable donkeys, went for a short walk on the property to enjoy the spectacular views of the water and islands in the distance. And on top of that, the tasting and all the wines were very reasonably priced!

This week I had the pleasure of visiting this family-owned winery for a wine tasting (suggested by a friend), and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment the 3 of us arrived, we were struck by the relaxing atmosphere of the place. We stayed for more than two hours and sampled 5 wines (2 whites, one rose and two reds).
Throughout the tasting, the owners shared stories about their family and the history of the winery. They also emphasized how much effort they put in the biodynamic production. The star of the tasting was the olive oil, served with a cold platter, which I would recommend 10/10.

Absolutely one of the best wine and olive oil tasting tours I have ever experienced. The very friendly, social nephew of the winemaker showed my girlfriend and me around, talked us through the tasting of their very own products and helped us buy some of these products. The (sustainable) products are a bit expensive but of very high quality. The wine tasting tour could even be called cheap for what you get, both quantity as quality. All in all an amazing experience, perfect for a birthday present or just a very nice afternoon.

We stumbled across this winery (looking for another which - fortunately, it turned out
- seemed to be closed) and had ***such*** a nice afternoon in a beautiful leafy, relaxed outdoor patio space. We sampled five wines and shared a cold platter of excellent local produce and probably the nicest olive oil I've ever tasted. Had it for into my luggage I'd have definitely brought some home. I'd go back here in a heartbeat.

We recently stumbled across Collis in Rovinj and had the most relaxing afternoon. Carmen, the host, greeted us warmly and took the time to give us a comprehensive introduction to their exquisite selection of organic wines. I highly recommend trying their Malvasia, a truly stunning summer wine that left us craving for more. In fact, we were so enamored by it that we couldn't resist buying a box to savor at home. A visit to Collis is definitely worth your while, as it promises a relaxing and memorable experience.

Jama - Grotta Baredine, a karst cave that opened in 1995, provides visitors with guided tours as well as exhibits showcasing vintage tractors and pottery. The attraction also features an eatery for guests to enjoy while waiting for their tour. Tickets can be purchased with credit cards and tours typically last 40-45 minutes, where visitors will descend down numerous stairs to reach the bottom of the cave.
An unexpected gem. We stopped by without any real plan or intention, and we had so much fun. It's a beautiful cave with a guided tour lasting about an hour (our guide Igor was funny and engaging), and outside there is a relaxed outdoor restaurant and souvenir shop. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice experience!! It is guided tour which costs 11 Euro per person and takes about 40 minutes. There was a queue for the ticket and according to the language, group number and tour start time is given. We had to wait almost an hour for the tour to start,after getting the ticket. There are 270 steps each way with 5 chambers where beautiful formations can be seen in the cave. Temperature stays pleasant at 14 degrees celsius all year round.
Absolutely worth a visit!!

Big, deep, great cave. Amazing viewes, good facilities. Highly recommend to participate. There a bit cold in the cave, plaase have some warmer clothes with you. For your information, go to the cave and back require basic physical readiness, if you have a children on your hands it will be some challenge for you. Flash pictures are prohibited, if you want to make a picture be sure you have enough sensitive camera. While you will be waiting for your guide(if I'm not wrong one tour takes about one hour) there are nice cafe under the cave. It is goid enough and delicious. And, one more bonus, there are interesting tractor history museum, very close to the cave. Better to participate both in "one shot".

Very nice experience. You will enter the cave with a guide and the total trip takes about 40 minutes. It is 270 steps down to the lowest point tourists can go. The actual deepest point is at 132 meter but only accessible with professional climbing gear.
The guide will tell about all the different rock formations that can be seen. A really must see experience.
During busy days it could take some time before you can go inside the cave. You will get a group number and time. During waiting you can stay at the location and see some other stuff there, or visit the town of Poreč.

This is a fine little cave in the middle of nowhere. If you have a car it is easy to approach. There is a buffet so you can wait in the shades for a guided tour with a cold drink in your hands. You can buy your ticket with credit card too. A tour is 40-45 minutes, you have to go way down on many stairs 60 meter. In the cave is 12 celsius degree so make sure you have warm clothes and good shoes, because it is slippery too. There is english, deutch, croatien and french language toure. You can make photos but no use of flash. Have fun!

Jama Baredine is truly a hidden gem in Istria, presenting a mesmerizing display of the underground beauty of nature. Its mysterious allure is further accentuated by the presence of an intriguing inhabitant of the underworld – the human fish, the largest true underground animal and a unique species endemic to these karstic areas.
While it can get quite crowded on days with bad weather, fret not as you are provided with a group number and an approximate entry time upon buying a ticket. The waiting time, which might be slightly longer than usual during the summer season, can be perfectly utilized to explore the other offerings of the place or engage in personal activities.
One such interesting feature is the Tractor Story. It's not just about old tractors, machines, and photos – it's a journey into the history and people of the regio. This exhibit provides a good pastime while waiting for your tour to start.
I give it 5 stars for the immersive and educational experience it provides, coupled with its unique attractions and excellent visitor arrangements. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Istria.

The guided tours are in English or German. When the ticket is bought, you are assigned to a group of around 20 people. Each group is led down into the cave about every 15 minutes, alternating guide language. In some places the path is very narrow and the groups have to wait for each other. The guides are very knowledgeable and give good explanations of what we are seeing as well as keep a close eye to ensure that all members of the group can keep up. Fair warning. Although the cave is well lit and everything is accessible via stairs, it can be a bit claustrophobic. The climb back out of the cave is about 270 steps and is encouraged to be done as fast as possible to make room for the other groups.

An interesting cave to explore, escorted by a guide. The caves are extremely busy and groups are held back at points so as to allow others to exit. The climb back to the entrance is quite exhausting but in general the trip is well worth while. There is a selection of gift shops, a nice family restaurant and plenty of places for a picnic. For a few euro extra the caves can be combined with the tractor museum just a few hundred steps away across the car park.

Interesting place worth to visit when you want to see some other place than the ones at the coast. Well organized, affordable prices, enough shade to wait till your tour starts. Maybe it's better to go when the weather is good, because it isn't overcrowded (plus the air is naturally conditioned).

This was a great experience, both educational and fun! Our tour guide Jenny was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. It's only 10 euros to go down in the cave and I would say it was worth it!

Probably the most impressive cave accessible for tourists in the istria region. There are about 60 m height difference to be managed. In five halls, there is one miracle after the other. In the deepest hall, there are two living olms (proteus) in a bassin.

Nice place for visiting. You can learned a lot there about our history. Unfortunately we waited roughly 30mins in queue but our entrance was in 3 and half hours, so almost 4 hours waiting due to many visitors before us. But you can go to sea, Poreć is not so far...
The Pula Aquarium, located in a historic Austro-Hungarian fort from 1886, offers an educational and immersive experience. With 35 pools, visitors can observe a diverse range of marine and freshwater animals from around the world, including species native to the Adriatic Sea and Croatia.
Besides great examples of sea life, it is really well organized and arranged. You can easily find the way around and learn about the history of Pula, marine life presented there, and the environment awareness.
And also, do not miss the view from the roof. Really amazing.

Great place to visit in Pula. The aquarium is based in the historic fortress built in 1886. The rooms have cool climate - you can go here and enjoy it although outside is really hot weather. Parking isn't problem - you can park the car right in front of the entrance. I recommend this.

The aquarium is located in a beautiful environment and space. Nice view from the roof. You walk through the corridors of the fortress on three floors - interesting for children. The ticket (you can also buy it online) is also valid for the second part of the aquarium, which is located a few meters away from the main aquarium (fort). In the surrounding area there are many walking paths and also a few taverns where you can have something to drink and eat. We parked a little lower below the aquarium in a larger parking lot - parking was free.

There were many more tanks than we were expecting! The whole aquarium is divided into two separate buildings, one with mostly Mediterranean exhibitions, the other with exotic species from all over the world.
The tanks were always clean and the fish looked healthy. There's also a butterfly walk-in exhibit and a little playground for children.
Somehow there weren't many people there, only a few larger groups, so we mostly had the whole building to ourselves.
Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting the Pula Aquarium to anyone looking for a pleasant afternoon.

The aquarium in Pula is truly an unforgettable experience. Not only did we have the opportunity to see the underwater world, but the spaces where the aquarium itself is located are amazing. Narrow corridors, history, and ship models enhance the whole experience. Even though we've seen similar aquariums in Budapest or Vienna, this one stands out due to its unique setting and is definitely worth a visit!

Nice exbition. You can take your time and read about all the fish. They also have an option of audio guide. Alongside aquariums, there is also a historical exhibition about the fort. I especially liked the sea turtles rehabilitation programme. You can buy tickets online and enter through priority line. Overall, pleasant experience and would recommend it.

Aquarium is easily reachable and has a couple of great parking lots nearby.
In addition to sea animals, there is an exhibition regarding the naval history of Istria and Kvarner.
There are a lot of animals to see (sharks, a number of different fish species, corals, seashells, reptiles and jellyfishes).
On top of the aquarium is a nice viewpoint with view of the open sea.
There are a lot of exhibitions that are interactive and everything is described in a rather detailed way, so it's fun and educative at the same time.

Nice aquarium that was converted from a fort, great place to take the kids. There is a very steep tunnel to get to the lower exhibits so just be careful if you have a stroller or any wheels.
The Temple of Augustus, a majestic structure dating back to 2BC, stands on the former site of the Roman city's Forum. This remarkable example of Roman architecture is made of perfectly uniform square stones. Over time, it underwent various transformations - from a church to a granary and eventually serving as a museum for stone monuments since the early 19th century. Today's temple is an accurate reconstruction after being heavily damaged in World War II bombings.
Amazing Temple in the portside center of Pula. It's also surrounded by other amazing Roman sites.

If you’re in Pula, there’s no reason not to go. A quick trip is all you need to see this piece of history. They even have a designated selfi-spot for those in need of a new social medial display picture.
There’s a fee to go inside (a very small one) and we found this place by accident so we were unprepared to go in.
Overall, it’s located in a beautiful area and what we could see through the door was also beautiful. Definitely recommend taking 20 or 30 minutes to check it out.

Beautiful historical place. If you are going to visit the Amphitheatrum I do recommend visiting this Temple too. It is kinda close to it. Must watch, but go there on foot because there is NO parking nearby, only if you are really lucky. Although it is nice,in my opinion it is NOT worth going inside for that money. If you are interested in history then yes, but elsehow i do not recommend.

The Arch of the Sergii is an ancient Roman arch and city gate in Pula, Croatia. It was constructed in 29 BCE as a tribute to the powerful Sergius family's participation in the Battle of Actium. This well-preserved stone arch features sculptures depicting cups, wreaths, and a horse-drawn chariot. Also known as the Porta Aurea or Golden Gate, it served as one of Pula's main city gates with its rich gilded stone decorations.
The honorary triumphal arch from 27 BC, originally a city gate, was erected as a symbol of the victory at Actium (31BC, Octavian vs. Antony+Cleopatra). Well preserved!

steven russell — Google review
Just astounding to think of all the people that have walked beneath this gate since its construction in 29BC. The monument commemorates a Roman military victory at Actium in 27BC, and pays tribute to a prominent local tribune named Lucius Sergius Lepidus.
A good place to contemplate the brevity of our time is in this life.
"For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children" Ps 103:14-17

Pula Arena, a vast Roman amphitheater in the city of Pula, boasts an underground display dedicated to ancient olive oil and wine production. The town itself showcases a rich historical tapestry, featuring Roman and Venetian architecture that reflects the rule of various leaders throughout its existence. From the Forum to the Roman Catholic Cathedral and remnants from post-World War II, Pula offers a multitude of monuments and architectural wonders that speak volumes about its past.
A stunning amphitheater that’s the best preserved of its kind. Many famous performances have been hosted here in recent times. It’s got super clean toilets and is surrounded by local coffees houses a few minutes walk. From the top seats you can see the sea. Parking is good quality but limited and super busy.

Richard Attoe — Google review
It is very similar structure to the Rome Colosseum. It's big and beautiful place to visit. It's crowded on weekends. There is a chance that the parking place is full especially on weekends. So you will have to park somewhere else in that case. You require a ticket to enter the arena. But honestly, its not at all required. You can see the full insed of the arena from outside for free. You just need to walk up near the backside church and from the fence you get a look of the whole place from inside. So don't buy tickets for inside. You won't see anything special by going in... Its the same view. But the place is very nice to visit with friends and family.

Spectacular and well-preserved ancient time monument. However, the entrance was €10 and they don’t provide any information brochures about the place. Genuinely, I wouldn't recommend buying the ticket to go inside. There’s not that much of a difference in the view of the arena that you can see from the outside. The exhibition underground is quite poor too.

I was shocked to tell you the truth how this Pula Arena is so look alike Colosseum in Rome. Beautiful architecture near the sea. I didn’t buy tickets and didn’t enter the Arena itself only went around, believe me it’s great place for like a few million photos. When I was there it was 29 Celsius and clear sky, I wonder how it looks and what atmosphere Pula Arena has when it’s raining or just cloudy weather. For sure Pula is great place to visit for vacation and Pula Arena is just a reminder of how capable was people very long time ago that they built a structure that stands till today. Enjoy you stay in Pula.

Beautiful piece of human history, a 2000+ years old Roman arena, surprisingly well preserved.
There's an entrance fee (90 kn at the moment), but you can simply walk around it and see the inside from every angle.
However, if you wish to see it from the inside I'd recommend visiting it during one of various events that are often hosted there (gladiator fights with actors, concerts, etc.), as that's when it most comes alive.

Entrance fee: 10 Euro regular, 5 Euro student. Not very busy at the time of oir visit. You can freely walk around the arena. Don't miss to go down to the underground area where you can have a look at the different vessels and the history behind it. It's also lot cooler underground if you need to escaoe from the heat for few minutes. Not as big as the colosseum in Rome of course but still worth the price if you're visiting the city.

Nice place to check out however, not overly impressed, at least not in relation with the price requested for entry.
Plus: the fact that it’s offering a descent into the underground of the roman amphitheater. You get to see some interesting machinery for producing wine and oil as well as antique amorphas. The underground is quite small however.
Minus: the 10 euro entry ticket is extremely expensive for what the place has to offer compared to other amphitheaters I have seen.

Enjoyed sightseeing the Amazing Amphitheatre in Pula which is a rather intact and complete historical arena. It is rather impressive, to be standing out there, amidst such an old and well preserved historical structure. Our tour group got to Pula from Rijeka. Go downstairs to view and read about some exhibits. Additionally, when you are outside in the arena and able, take the stairs on either side, which allows you to reach the top of the spectator stands for a better view, so as to take more panaromic photographs.

Don’t even think to get there by bike. It was a horrible experience. All paths are full of rocks, it’s really difficult to ride a bike here. All beaches were full of people. It’s impossible to find a place. Bars don’t accept cards. When we reached Safari bar we realized that it makes no sense to continue looking for a good beach. We decided to go back. There were lots of cars on the road and we were going through the white dust which is everywhere. I don’t understand why people are going to this place.

I must admit, it is an interesting area to visit. But definitely not for swimming and sunbathing.
First off all so called "beaches" are very rocky, and the few sqm that you have available in perhaps a handful of them are packed. Even there the beach is not sandy at all but more, earthy/muddy.
Secondly, 15 EUR entrance fee is way too much for what you get.

Dog friendly, because of all the paths and nature. No trash bins and very dusty from cars. I wouldn't allow cars in Natural Park, go green or go home. You can tell they only care about $$$ once you buy an entrance ticket nobody tells you to keep the receipt till the end, to be able to exit the park, and they could at least give you a bin bag so there wouldn't be so much trash everywhere. Keep it wild and go by foot or with bike like we did. 😉

The Piazza Unità d'Italia (Piazza Grande) is a large, impressive square in the heart of Venice that is flanked by some of the city's grandest palazzi. The square is a beautiful triumph of Austro-Hungarian town planning and contemporary civil pride and is especially beautiful when lit at night. The buildings around the piazza are all well maintained and look really nice during the day or at night when they are illuminated with blue lights.
Beautiful square. It is often said to be Europe's largest square located next to the sea. The square was built during the period when Trieste was the most important seaport of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and includes the city's municipal buildings and other important palaces. You should visit Caffe San Marco – a magnificent place, well known to both tourists and residents

Trieste is a mix of styles with a laid back “Barcelona feel” to it. 200,000 people who love their piece of paradise. Outdoor European summer complete with alfresco dining in the heart of the city. Highly recommend.

Trieste’s biggest and main square - this is also the largest square in Italy that is right by the sea (Adriatic Sea in this case). The grand open space is awe inspiring. This is a great place for hosting concerts as well.

Lovely square, there were many tents up in the square when iw ent there so I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest extent, I guess they had just gotten done putting on a big event. There's a great restaurant on the square that serves the best french toast I've ever had.

Lovely square with beautiful buildings. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants around the square too, plus it also has access to the sea front.
Beautiful relaxing place and well worth checking out if you're in Trieste.

Very large square ,right next to the Golf of Trieste with pier and port for gigantic cruise vessels. Square is sourouded with beautiful buildings and the statue at the top of the plaza. It's mostly used for public events.
The Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp was used by the Nazi regime to detain and kill political prisoners, as well as Jews who were then deported to Auschwitz. The museum is a five-storey brick-built compound that commemorates the 5000 people who perished here and the many thousands more who were impacted by the camp's existence. The exhibits provide an overview of the history of the concentration camp and its use during World War II.
Surely not at the level of the most famous (or infamous) concentration camps. For me it is worth five stars: this place needs a visit, as it is the only camp in Italy with a crematorium

Great, succinct museum in a place charged with heavy, too recent history. Definitely worth a visit. Plan about 30-40 mins. Audioguides currently unavailable due to covid.
Emilie Roberts — Google review
An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken.
In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war.
Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.

This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten.
For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information.
If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.

Small, but nice place to visit, to remember the history.
Be aware that with COVID situation today you need a “Green pass” and that many buildings accept limited amount of people at once (2 to 10 people max) so it’s better to come in the morning to avoid queues.

Zip line rides over wooded cliffs from a popular cave area, with dramatic views of the town Pazin.
Very nice ride. Very professional and nice people.
Not too long, opens your appetite for more😆
???? ??? ????? — Google review
Great adventure for adrenaline loving people. The zip line consists of two "routes", first one is shorter and second is longer and faster. Amazing views in both of them. You reach around 45km/h depending on weight.
Whole process including putting safety harness, instructions, ride and walk back to start station takes around 45 min. The reason is, that you are put together with other people in a group of around 12 persons and you have to wait for everyone to make their ride. Its super safe and staff was very professional. Would go again anytime. Well worth 22€.

The Monumento Foiba di Basovizza is a fascinating site that aims to preserve the memory of a relatively obscure chapter in history. The landmark serves as a reminder of past events that have been largely forgotten, and seeks to educate visitors about an important period. Its significance lies in commemorating an era that may be unknown to many, but is no less important for its obscurity. Through the monument, people can gain insight into a part of history that has long been overlooked.
Monument dedicated to those lost during Fascist rule. The unfortunate were killed and thrown into a hole, which is the Foiba. Its currently got a lid on top. It's a sobering place. Small "museum" on site to explain more. Just 15 minutes outside Trieste. Should visit.

Labin, a charming town in Istria, Croatia, is perched on a hill 325 meters above the Adriatic Sea. With its colorful architecture reminiscent of Rovinj and a rich history dating back to the Bronze Age, Labin offers stunning views of the Kvarner Gulf and the coastal resort of Rabac. Once a mining town known for its anti-fascist revolution, Labin now boasts flourishing art within its medieval walls.
Skocjan Caves, a natural wonder in Slovenia, is an extraordinary underground network of fossil-filled caves with a river and canyons. The cave system was carved out by the Reka River over the past two decades and is home to huge, spectacular subterranean chambers that must be explored. The caves offer guided tours to visitors who can witness its beauty up close; it's recommended for visitors to wear warm clothing and sturdy footwear while exploring.
Incredible place, absolutely breathtaking. The murmuring river in the underground canyon leaves unforgettable impression. The scenes inside are like in Lord of the Rings (or Portal 2 game on underground levels).
When you're leaving the cave, you have 3 options to get back to the initial point: two short routes and one long. It's really worth to take the longest route (#3, takes 40min) and see all the beauty of the canyon.
Unfortunately, photos are forbidden inside, even without flash, there is a monitoring (however, a lot of people still do it)
Andrei Belashou — Google review
The tour was stunning. I must say, the cave was bigger and even more impressive than in all the pictures you see of it. I was just astonished most of the times. It does get a little bit hard if you’re afraid of heights because there is a bridge really high up that you need to cross, but the feeling of seeing everything going on in this cave is remarkable

If you're looking for an amazing underground adventure, I highly recommend checking out these caves. They were much bigger than expected, with an awe-inspiring array of natural formations and stunning underground landscapes.
One of the best things about these caves was how accommodating the staff were when we were late for our original booking. Despite our tardiness, they still made sure we were able to experience the tour and see all the incredible sights.
However, it's worth noting that there were many people on the tour, which may not be ideal for those who prefer smaller crowds. That being said, the incredible sights were definitely worth the company.
One thing to keep in mind is that visitors aren't allowed to take pictures inside the cave. However, at the end of the tour, you're able to snap a few shots to capture the experience.
Overall, if you're looking for an amazing underground adventure, these caves are definitely worth checking out. While the crowds may be a bit larger than desired, the stunning natural formations and accommodating staff make it an unforgettable experience. Just don't forget to bring a camera for the end of the tour!

Such a great experience. If you go, definitely take the red trail when you come out of the cave. Be sure to get reservations in advance. All of the tours were sold out on the day we went. The initial portion of the guided tour does not allow photography which is unfortunate, but I guess it keeps the tours moving.

Spectacular in size and impressive. It is like visiting underground canyons with river rapids. The scenery is stunning both inside and outside. We definitely recommend to do the long trail. It is very different from Postojna caves, they are not comparable.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible these caves are/ the experience walking through this cave. The tour was incredible, and I appreciate not being able to take pictures inside as it forces you to focus on the true, raw, natural beauty. The river rushes through as you walk along the dimly lit path. The tour guides are super knowledgeable and it is definitely worth a visit. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my life. As a freshwater ecologist, I was in heaven!

Looked expensive at 22 euros for the guided tour, but absolutely worth it. Tour is a bit more than an hour through the main caves, and afterwards you can do another unguided part for 30min to 1hour which is amazing.

Note that photos are not allowed in the guided part of the tour

It's hard to find the right words to describe the Skocjan Caves. This place is magical and so raw. I've been to several caves, but this one made a fantastic impression on me. The Skocjan Caves are so huge that you can easily feel the space. Phenomenal rock formations - stalactites and stalagmites, plus a rushing river beneath us. You are not allowed to take photos in the main area. We chose the longest trail - it's beautiful, it was a bull's-eye.
Agnieszka Rybczyńska — Google review
Absurdly breathtaking, the most extraordinary cave experience I've had. The underground canyon is mesmerizing and feels like you have stepped into a scene from Lord of The Rings.
The steps can be a little strenuous and the ground a tad damp so pack in comfortable hiking boots and long sleeves as it can be chilly. No photos are allowed in the caves themselves to preserve the natural light (or lack of it) as much as possible. They even turn off the navigation lights between tours.
An absolute must foe those seeking out the grandeur of caving.
Eden Theron — Google review
The most beautiful cave I have every visited. It is amazing to see that nature can create such massive caves underground. Be aware that the cave has become a big tourist attraction and that buying tickets beforehand is highly recommended. Visiting the cave is done in groups of 40 with a guide. Inside of the cave it is NOT allowed to take any pictures (only at the exit). At the exit of the cave there are three options of returning to the main building. I recommend taking the longest route, if the walking doesn't bother you, as it will take you through some extra caves where you can take some pictures.
Thomas Carsjens — Google review
Very highly recommended for the nature lovers. Many thousands years old limestone caves filled with millions of drip stones (stalactites ) and stalagmites, and one of the world’s largest underground river canyons. The cave is throughout well lit and provided with safety railings along the canyons. There are so many amazing chambers, one of them called the hades chamber is the most spectacular with the largest stalagmite of Europe and one of the largest in the world. There is a guided tour available for 22€, which is absolutely worth the time and the price. Really amazing team of tour guides, very friendly, attentive and informative. Towards the end of the guided tour they provide you with three options to return to the initial point. Two of the routes take you further for small hikes. Unfortunately we had to take the shorter route of 20 minutes, which was mostly stairs. There comes a small detour for the splash falls, which is really awesome. Although the photos are strictly forbidden inside, but people do manage to capture secretly. There is a big parking place with lots of space available.

These caves were crazy awesome. The tour was fun and I formative, but the caves are just so big. I felt like I was in an Indiana jones movie. So great. At the end of the tour there is a short walk back and a longer one. DO THE LONGER WALK! It is seriously worth the extra 30 min, and you get to see bonus caves and very nice landscapes.

This was the most amazing caves I’ve ever seen, and is definitely a must see if you ever visit Slovenia!!
Remember to buy a guided tour ticket in advance. Our tour guide, Vesna, was just the best, really good at explaining and telling stories about the caves!
You are not allowed to take pictures inside the caves, which really makes you take in the experience.
There are good facilities at the visitor center, where you can buy food and souvenirs.
We will definitely be back the next time we visit Slovenia

Although it's not allowed to take photos in the caves (the place is on the UNESCO list) you are guaranteed to have the greatest experience of your life. To my mind, it is a far more authentic and less commercial attraction than the Postojna cave...

Elżbieta Zygmuntowska — Google review
Definitely worth the visit.
From the meeting point we had to do a short walk to the cave entrance at which point the rules were explained and the groups were formed.
The initial sections of the cave weren’t that interesting but the canyon area is truly amazing. You can hear and see the water rushing through.
Compared to Postajna Cave, this one was much better organized. Being less popular also contributes to a better experience.
Marcio Medeiros — Google review
Very impressive. The tour would remind you of lord of the rings. Also very different from Postojna cave but definitely worth it. Guide was in English and explained well however sometimes not good to hear due to the environment or echo. The doline is very pretty and there are viewpoints or tours that you can follow by yourself. Recommended to buy tickets in advance.

We visited the Skocjan Caves recently, and it was an incredible experience. The natural beauty of these caves is awe-inspiring. The underground chambers, stalactites, and stalagmites are a testament to the wonders of nature.
The guided tour was informative, and our guide was knowledgeable about the geological history of the caves. The highlight was definitely the enormous underground canyon with the rushing river. It felt like being in a different world.
The organization and facilities at the site were excellent, making the visit comfortable and enjoyable. However, one thing that disappointed me was the prohibition on taking photographs inside the cave, it would have been wonderful to capture some memories of this remarkable place.
I would also caution against visiting the souvenir shop on the premises. The salesperson there was unfriendly and seemed disinterested in helping tourists, which was a stark contrast to the overall positive experience of the caves.
Despite these drawbacks, I highly recommend visiting the Skocjan Caves to anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature and geological wonders. It's a must-see attraction in Slovenia.

Sveti Ivan Beach is a secluded and stunning destination surrounded by lush vegetation, making it one of the most beautiful beaches globally. It offers unparalleled amenities such as a luxurious bar and restaurant. The turquoise waters and verdant wilderness of Krivica create an enchanting natural beauty that attracts many visitors each season. Accessible via a steep trail, this unspoiled beach is perfect for those who appreciate nature's power but requires visitors to bring their own supplies due to the lack of facilities.
Loved it!!
The hike to the beach isn't very steep at the beginning but later on there are some parts where it is pretty steep and can get slippery. My gf and I wore regular sneakers and we found that to be sufficient (hiking shoes are not mandatory, and we some some folks in flip flops). It took us 45min in both directions, and for us it was probably easier to go up. As for the directions, the signs are always visible and are easy to follow.
At the beach, there's shade in the boundary areas but it's limited, so have that in mind.
Also, bring plenty of water and enough food since there are no shops or bars down there. You can refil your water in the town of Lubenice, once you're back up.

For those who enjoy hiking this beach is the best of both worlds. You get to hike + swim afterwards. We had so much fun, it was worth every step of the way. The water was so clear you can see every single pebble, the beach had maybe 10 people, so you have plenty of space. There were some boats but they didn't stay too long. Take good shoes for hiking, plenty of water, and if you don't want to sunburn, a lot of sunscreen and a tent or a parasol.

Absolutely stunning beach! The beach is clean, made of pebble stones, the water is crystal clear, transparent, swimming in such an amazing place (you are looking at the town of Lubenice on the cliff is simpli breathtaking)!
It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to reach the town of Lubenice after leaving the main road. The path is narrow, surrounded with stone wall. So pay attention. After entering the town a big parking is on the left and the beginning of the hiking trail (that is - path to the beach) is located near the coffee bar.
The signs along the path are very well marked. It takes approximately 1 h downhill and 1.5 h uphill. The upper part of the bath is throughout the woods so if has a lot of shade but some parts are a bit slippery (stones) so hiking shoes or sneakers are obligatory!!
A wonderful experience on Cres.
I visited on a cloudy day, the water was freezing but the experience is unforgettable. ❤️
Diana Didović — Google review
Awesome beach. Definitely worth a visit. Easiest way to get there is by boat. The hike from Lubenice is quite daunting. Make sure you bring a lot of water and food as there are no shops on the beach. The hike is quite difficult, not for children and mostly on sun. You can park your car in Lubenice. The remote location ensures that the beach is not crowded. Very good place for snorkelling. There is no shade on the beach so make sure you have some sun cover. The beach is made of large pebbles so bring some soft throw. We will definitely come back if we visit the island again.
Daniel Heger — Google review
Beautiful beach with an amazing 1 hour down and 2 hours up hike. If you are visiting it on foot, take comfortable shoes, and prepare yourself for a very long walk. Do not go on your flip flops, trekking shoes are ideal but you'll be fine with sneakers. Remember to take water, you'll need it. Specially on your way up. It was perhaps my best experience while in Cres.
Nuno Sequeira — Google review
Unspoiled nature (yet) that is highly appreciated by those who know never to underestimate the power of it!
••TAKE YOUR RUBBISH WITH YOU**
Steep trail but worth every step once at the destination. Not for unfit and foolish “flip flop” hikers unless with unlimited health insurance!
And yes, there are no facilities whatsoever at the beach WHICH IS PERFECT!
That means, (if needed) take food, PLENTY OF WATER, and hats!!!
It’s 1hr downhill and 1,5hrs uphill with many breaks! I admire those who do it faster :)
UNMISSABLE PLACE and yes it’s FIT FOR CHILDREN if you are geared up properly-they will cherish this memory for a lifetime 💚

Mošćenička Draga, located in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia, is a charming coastal municipality nestled southwest of Opatija beneath the majestic Mt. Učka. Its origins as a fishing port date back to 1436 and it has since evolved into a picturesque destination reminiscent of the Italian Riviera.
Predjama Castle, located 9km from Postojna in Europe, is an impressive fortress that was built within a cave on the side of a 123m cliff. The castle's four storeys were constructed gradually over the years starting from 1202, but the majority of what can be seen today dates back to the 16th century. Its location and design make it appear impenetrable and it features restored living quarters as well as dungeons and even a secret tunnel.
Predjama castle is located approximately 15-minute drive from the highway E61 and 10 minutes from the Postojna Caves, so it is convenient to visit both in the same day. We purchased combined ticket (Castle+Caves) for approx. 40 EUR per person. Parking was not difficult to find, however we arrived relatively late at around 16:30 (castle was closing at 17:00), so I imagine during the peak hours the situation might be different.
There are no guided tours inside the castle, instead you get an audio guide (included in the ticket price) which was available in many languages (at least 15). The explanations were helpful, straight to the point and relatively short, so for me that was one of the best audio guide experience. It took us around 45 minutes to properly explore the castle. Normally castle is open until 17:00 but we were leaving the premises at around 17:15 and no one was pushing us out.
It does indeed look magnificent as almost the whole castle is covered by huge rock. You get to explore many different rooms, some of them looking more like caves and others like actual livable rooms. There are some nice viewing points of the valley at several terraces located in the castle. It is definitely worth to visit as there are not many "cave castles" around the world!
There are couple of restaurants in the proximity of the castle and restrooms near the parking lot.

Very interesting castle and history with the included audio guide. There's a decent amount of walking up stairs and through the rooms, but it's evenly spaced with audio guide sections which are numbered to listen. The parking is average an consists of a paved area with about 50 bays. After this fills up, you park in a grassed marshy paddock which is a bit hard to get in and out once more people start coming. Other than that, good castle but make sure you get there early

This is just an amazing castle …. A dream place full of adventures and surprises in side … bring comfortable shoes and with some grip this place is natural wet … there is not lifts…. The castle is full of hidden corners that takes you to a nice natural cave. You need a car or a tourist bus to reach this place . You must pay for parking per hour. The castle is in the world Guiness records of the largest castle built on a cave. They have audio Guia in many languages. People were polite and nice. You must reserve in advance tickets if you don’t want disappointments specially during summer time.

Really nice castle built into the cave. The day we went was quite crowded and a bit overwhelming. However, this is not something you want to miss if you’re in town. Here you are given a self guided audio tour, offered in many languages. The castle itself is well curated, but be careful because the stair cases that are connected to the cave part of the castle are very slippery and many people fell. It’s best to go slow and hold on to the railing.
You can access this castle by taking the free bus. This bus comes from the train station - bus station - predjama caves - to the castle. Check the website for the times.

In every room you can see old furniture, weapons and armour, ... At the end of the tour you'll go inside the rocks behind the castle. This was something i have never seen before. Really worth a visit. The lady in the gift shop was really friendly. (and there's a cat!!)

A truly amazing Castle with a beautiful view. It was very interesting listening to it’s history (they provide audio players). We bought tickets at the small shop when we arrived. If you visiting with babies make sure you have a carrier or just hold them. Lots of stairs (Castle is inside a cave basically). I cannot imagine living in those times in that Castle, it’s just amazing to picture everything in your head. If you are near by, make sure to make a stop here. Is worth the visit!

This medieval castle, which is the largest cave castle in the world, is still intact after 800 years. You'd wonder how they managed to attach a castle to a cave when cement, screws and drills hadn't been invented yet. I had an audio guide explaining different chambers/ rooms. Beware that there are many steps and uneven paths.

Stunning castle that is located in a cave and surrounded by a farming village. The place is definitely worth visiting when in Slovenia and takes an hour to get to from Ljubljana by bus. Worth noting a cab is needed from the Pastojna bus station to the castle. All the shops were closed as we went during off season.
Caves are stunning as well as Predjamski castle. Shuttle bus to the castle start at 10am although castle is open from 9am. Timetable isn't on the web site.

Awesome. Amazing journey. Don't let the "talk" of it being "Disneyland like" deture you from going. The cave "rooms" are HUGE. Incredible complex and a highlight of our trip while in Slovenia. ( €25.80 p/p )

TICKET OFFICE FOR THE POSTOJNA CAVE. YOU CAN PAY FOR YOUR PARKING AHEAD WHEN YOU BUY YOUR TICKETS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT WHEN YOU EXIT.

The Krizna Cave in Slovenia is an impressive underground cave system with over 20 lakes that visitors can explore by boat. Unlike most other Slovenian caves, the Krizna Cave provides its visitors with lamps and boots for their visit as there is no electric lighting inside. The tour lasts around one to two hours and takes you through the dry parts of the cave, including a short boat ride on the first lake.
Did the 7h tour in a group of four plus our guide Gašper. Were really lucky because the water level and humidity conditions were perfect, so we could still sail comfortably in the little boats and see clearly with the lights on. Excellent example of conservation and care of nature which here comes first before us tourists. This was once in a lifetime experience and I definitely recommend it to those who are able to do it!

Very interesting visit. We highly recommend to take the visit also to the bear tunnel because is worth it. The cave doesn't have any artificial light or path, which keeps its originality. The guide was a really enthusiastic woman who explained everything really good. I would definitely reccomend it, also not so crowded with tourist.
PS: We found a semi real cave bear xD

Unique experience! Much less touristy than the Postojna caves (also less lighting, you can't see as much but you feel more like the people who first discovered the caves). Be sure to bring cash as there is no electricity to process card payments.

Fantastic cave and good guide. We did the short tour, about 1 1/2 hour. Lots if explanation.
They also do the 4 and 8/9 hour tours. Only on reservation and a limited nr of people per year. We had a group of 6. Very worth the visit.
Henri Boom — Google review
This is a great place to have a more 'authentic' cave experience than that on offer at the nearby Postodjna Jama. Without any artificial lighting (except for torches and lighting under the boat) you get a real sense of being underground in monsterous caverns. On paper some of the caverns in the Postodjna Jama system are larger, but they feel much smaller in comparison due to the use of artificial lighting. The guides here are extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic with excellent English. The boat ride and cave bear skull are real highlights. Tours last approximately one hour and waterproof boots and torches are provided. Warm clothing (long trousers and a jumper/fleece) is highly recommended.

The 4hr excursion through the cave lakes was an excellent experience. The cave itself and the underground ecosystem is mesmerising and we also had a fantastic guide - Luka, who had great knowledge, super skills and brilliant humor. Even my male partner "fell in love with him a little bit" which is as big of a compliment as it gets :-D Well done Luka, you made this experience even more special for us with your presence and expertise

Really interesting cave exploration, even though it's much less publicized. They equip you with a flashlight and guide you into the cave. There are no other light sources in the cave, which makes a very cool experience. The only disappointment on 1 hour tour is, that the boat part is very short, around 15 min. I would highly suggest to book longer tours in advance, but note that queue time is quite long.
Peter — Google review
When we arrived at the parking we read that they only accept cash, so we had to drive to the nearest atm some kilometres away to find an ATM. This meant we had to wait for 2hrs till the next tour. The guide first explains the underground system and that we only walk for 650m, followed by a short boat trip and then walk back. The experience underground was incredible, and would love to do a longer tour another time.
victoria nyaga — Google review
This was probably the best tour I have ever done. Gasper, the tour guide, was able to get a tour for us with only one days notice to the first lake and the bear cave for my family of six. The cave was amazing and unlike any cave I had ever toured. The only light was from the provided flash lights. Gasper was an excellent tour guide and spoke excellent english. The tour was not to challenging even for my 6 year old.
Pete Fiol — Google review
Not as popular as the Postocjan or Skocjan caves, but well worth a visit. There are several guided tours available which give you a unique opportunity to explore this cave in a more personal setting. Highly recommended to reach out to them beforehand since the weather (eg lots of rain) might impact the available tours and overall capacity is very limited. Some tours only take 4 people max, because you go further into the cave with a rubber boat.
It's impressive to see some fossils and marks of the cave bears (bigger than polar bears) who lived in this cave thousands of years ago.
Finally, take it easy on the gravel road towards the cave. Cars go in both directions and space is limited.

We had the four our tour with Gaspar. It was very exciting and Gaspar was very dedicated to the cave and the geology.
Remember warm clothes and socks.
Book your tour in advance ( 6 months or more)
We loved it.
Stine Barnholdt — Google review
We did the small tour one hour tour and it gives you and idea of how beautiful this cave is. We wished the tour was longer but the bigger ones need to be booked upfront. Any one traveling with a dog: they just build two perfect dog cages in the shadow, about 30meters from the entrance of the cave. We were the first ones the use it. So you can safely leave your dogs while you enjoy the cave. Big big plus for us!
Vrbnik is a municipality situated on the eastern shoreline of Krk Island, known for its elevated limestone outcropping that rises 50 meters above the Adriatic Sea. The town itself offers stunning views of Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski, which can be seen across the Vinodol Channel. Notably, Vrbnik's unique geographic location separates it naturally from mainland Croatia.

Norbert Péter Kultsár — Google review
Beautiful sandy beach in the island of Rab, infront is a small island that you can cross with a bike boat. There you can do some snorkeling with your sport camera 📸
The difference between Jesolo Italy and Lopar, the people in Lopar is not so friendly. The restaurant waitresses are friendly, but the little stores who selling swimming products; they never smile, they never want to ingage ( connect ) with the customers. Unfortune I think, they supposed to attract more tourists, but their behaviour I feel it "not polite".
Do I want to go back to Lopar?
Yes, I think besides that the stores owner or supermarket not friendly; Lopar is very beautiful ❤️ the food is good 👍
PS : The chairs and umbrella 🏖️ cost €19,50. You come to the beach, choose which one that you like to sit. Later on come a guy with little machine, you pay him, you'll get a receipt 🧾

Wonderful and beautifully landscaped beach. It is covered with tiny pebbles. The sea is clean. There is a lot of shadows on the beach. There is also a city beach with a sand, but it is payable. There are many restaurants with good food and lots of bars and souvenir shops. Is very suitable for families with small children. On the beach is also a wonderful playground.

Very nice beach with mixed sand and rocks. The best thing is, that after you enter the sea through rocks, there is bug area of pure sand you can stand on, that is perfect for playing games inside the water.

It's a city beach, but a nice one, coverd with sand and pebbles. There are chairs in one side, but you can also lay your towel or beach tent. There are nice playgrounds. To avoid the stones from the shore, you can get into the sea on the pier. There is also an elevator for the ones with disabilities.

130 years of history on the shores of the Adriatic Sea
Baška, situated on the island of Krk in Croatia, is a popular resort town that boasts an ancient town center, stunning churches and beautiful beaches such as Vela Plaža. The Church of St. Lucy located in the nearby village of Jurandvor houses an imitation of the Baška Tablet from the 12th century which was found inside it. On the Baška Glagolitic Path that stretches across cultural and historical sites are stone sculptures marking important landmarks.
The Nehaj Fortress, constructed in 1558, is now a museum and hosts an annual medieval festival. Positioned on a hilltop, it offers a scenic view of the city and sea. The castle boasts well-preserved original geometry that can be admired from outside as well as within its walls. A restaurant and parking facilities are conveniently located near the fortress. Visitors can enjoy walks along its paths despite dogs usually not being allowed inside such buildings.
Beautiful view of the city and the sea.
When we went there the land was dry and the wind was so strong that it blew gravel at us.
The wind literally chased us, as it was so stormy we couldn’t get to the side where the door was.
The castle from outside is well preserved in its (I guess) original geometry.

We spent some hours around the fortress in early September 2021.
It definitely offers a lovely view from the hill and a restaurant as well as parking spots right beside Nehaj. We didn't go inside the fortress, because we had our dog with us (usually they're not allowed in such buildings, but we can't say for sure for Nehaj), but walking the paths around the fortress also was time well spent.

Definitely worth a visit if you are heading to Senj. The fortress is very well maintained, given it's almost 500 years old and the military artifacts on display inside are well presented and documented. Great views too over Senj and the neighbouring islands from the roof viewing areas.

Good place for a short walk, you can park right next to it, i couldn't find the road though. You can see what women and men wore back in the day, some really nice guns, they even have old necklaces, rings, swords ex. The only thing that bothers me is that they made it like restaurant which is kind of not really what's supposed to be. The ice cream is good though.

Nicely reconstructed fortress, with great view. Free parking just next to it (around it), though easily reachable on foot from marina.

It is a very nice and educational place, where you can learn about the history of Senj. You can go on top of the fortress and enjoy the view. There is a restaurant and it's not expensive. There are a lot of walking paths around the fortress and one of them leads to the kids playground.

Senj’s landmark that can be seen from far away driving towards the town. There is sufficient parking right next to it (gravel, can ve quite dusty). You can find a restaurant here (Konoba Tvrdava Nehaj) that is open everyday from 10:00-24:00. There is lots of tables outside with shade, but it’s still very hot during the day. Entry to the castle is 5 eur for adults, 2 eur for children, 10 eur for families. Nice views as well. Definitelly check it out if driving through.
Rastoke, situated in the Town of Slunj, is a charming village renowned for its picturesque setting along the Slunjčica River, where it converges with the Korana River. Often likened to the natural wonders of Plitvice Lakes, Rastoke offers similar captivating phenomena. Unlike heavily Instagrammed locations, Rastoke remains a hidden gem devoid of long queues and influencer photo shoots.
Jarun is a man-made lake in Zagreb, Croatia that is popular for recreation such as cycling and skating, along with various festivals and events. It features a skateboard park and cycle paths around the lake, which makes it a popular place to spend a summer day. Aquarius nightclubs fringe the shoreline of the lake.
Gorgeous place. Great place to hike, bike, run, roller blade or just chill. A must place to visit if you are in Zagreb

Excellent weekend day getaway for couples and families. Beautiful nature scenery but not many other activities, for better or worse. I prefer not which means less people and less noise and you keep peace just for yourself. Lots of water areas around which means mosquitoes are biting like crazy. Come prepared at summer time.

It was a very beautiful and relaxing experience for sure. I walked for 2 hours enjoying the sun in a cold winter. Then, I stopped at the pizza house.
Mustafa Arikan — Google review
It was fantastic for a hot summer day (37 C) to visit the lake. A particular highlight would be the smaller lake, with the "island of love" in the middle. It looks less man-made and has a lot of green sights when you're swimming.
In good days you can see fish swimming alongside you and touch water lilies within the greater depths.
One warning I would add is that doing a full round trip hike through the lake gets you to the nudist beach without much forewarning. Sensitive people beware (lol)
If you're wondering whether Bundek or Jarun is the right choice - definitely skip Bundek and go to Jarun.
Henrique V. — Google review
great for walking or riding a bike. you can also swim in the lake but i do not recommend that because it's not very clean and it's not really safe if you swim away from the coast. there are lots of people that ride a bike or roller skate on path that is not really big enough for lots of people who walk AND people who ride a bike so you have to be very careful. there are playgrounds for children and gym, very long walking trail around the lake. you can always sit in café and have a cup of coffee or eat pizza or some other dish for very good price.
Nika Tomić — Google review
I never get tired of going to Jarun. This is an awesome demonstration of what can be done in a city with a good planning and the purpose of making the city friendlier to its inhabitants. Lakes are very extense, with at least three large artificial beaches that are frequently visited in summer time. Cafes and restaurants are very well distributed around all lakes. Wonderful place for jogging, walking or riding with a bicycle. Different kinds of courts are available for sports like volleyball, basketball, skating, etc. There are also many regatta clubs in the lake. Small open cabins or huts to go on sundays with grill facilities nearby. Toilet services are available all around the park and showers are also available near beaches. Many swans dwell in the lakes and are a spectacle to visitors. One of the wonderful places of Zagreb, a must-see in particular if you are in the city in spring, summer or fall time.

Beautiful park with an amazing lake. Has many coffee places and restaurant around. This is a place is to do exercise, spend time with your family, enjoy a BBQ….there is even a nudist island in this place. Highly recommend to visit this place. They charge 10 kunas for parking. Bring your trainers to walk a lot and your swimming costume.
You can have easy access via public transport.
