If you simply want to get some rest - When Im on holiday, I just want to have some rest with my family. In Pore I can sunbathe or sleep in the shade, read a book, walk along the shore or just watch the sunset. Marek Trabalka, Češka

Visiting Poreč

You can get to the centre of Poreč from every hotel, apartment or camp by taking a leisurely stroll through the shade of the pine trees that spread their shadows on promenades and trace the shape of the shore or you can go by bike or take a tourist train. Set off on a tour of the city walking or pedalling, explore and familiarise yourself with its old centre, streets and squares, parks and beaches.

Going south, to Poreč's Lagoons
If you want to go to the city or back by train, stop and wait at the stop for the tourist train that goes from Zelena Laguna to the city and back along the Antun Štifanić Promenade. In the shade of the pine trees during the day, you can also stroll in the fresh sea air at night because the promenade is illuminated. During the summer months you can stop and rest at one of the many cafes and bars, catch your breath on a bench or play on the sports grounds along the promenade. From the Plavi Hotel you can take the stairs to the cliff where you will find St. Nicholas’s Chapel with its bell-tower. 173 stairs lead to the top of the cliff and include rest stops and lighting, while the top of the bell-tower offers an excellent panoramic view. From here you can head towards the city waterfront and peek at the schedule for the regular boat line that will take you back to Zelena Laguna with stops in between.
To the north
If your chosen accommodations are located to the north of the city, you can walk to the centre, go by rollerblades or sit on a train. The entire northern shore of Poreč is linked by train, from Luna Hotel to Peškera Cove so that you can return by train too. Along the promenade you will find many places to stop, rest and refresh yourself as well as many different sports and recreation possibilities.
The Old City
A stroll around Poreč’s old city centre can begin at Trg Slobode (Freedom Square) from where you can entre Decumanus Street and continue along the narrow streets exploring the city’s sights. From the other side, entering at the Poreč’s Lungomare (promenade along the sea) or from the Ante Šonja Shore, you will see before you a romantic view of the northern side of Poreč, Peškera Cove and the Pical and Materada neighbourhoods. Continue your stroll to Matko Laginja Shore to the city waterfront or Maršal Tito Shore and in this way you will have walked around the former city walls and passed around the entire old city of Poreč.
