Poreč Travel Guide: Excursions

Poreč is a town of culture, tourism, sport and entertainment and one thing is for certain – you cannot be bored here.
The town has a very wide gastronomic offer. Relax with the tastes and smells of traditional and creative Istrian cooking, and enjoy the fine Istrian wines.
In high season, the old town centre is full of the sounds of jazz, classical music, and the acoustic guitars of street performers. Concerts are held under the clear sky in the Lapidarium, and Euphrasius’ Basilica... you can feel the pure emotion of the music here.
The beaches in Poreč are well looked after and many of them have a Blue Flag. Since all our buildings are located very close to the sea, you can totally relax in the magic of summer.
Poreč is a favourite place for sports players and recreationalists because of its exceptional sporting facilities. All sporting souls can find their refuge here amongst the classical and adrenalin sports, bicycle paths, water sports, diving and other activities.
In terms of transport, Poreč is very well connected, and you can get all the information and maps you need at a number of places, where we especially highlight the town centre and the Poreč Tourist Association info point.
There are places within easy reach of the town that open their doors to those who want some night life and fun, where they can dance until the early hours of the morning. As well, there are cafés, lounge bars, and lots of terraces where you can relax with a drink, a cocktail or some Istrian wine.
Poreč is in an ideal location, so asides from discovering its gems, you can visit the surrounding areas and discover for yourself why they call Istria “Terra Magica” (the magic land).
