An Adriatic getaway

Located on the scenic Istrian Riviera, Umag offers plenty of picturesque waterfront spots where you can gaze out over the Adriatic Sea. The town itself is centred around Luka Umag. This is a bustling marina with seaside restaurants that allow you to watch the boats coming and going throughout the day. And just north of the town centre are a number of sandy beaches where you can swim, sunbathe, and relax.

Umag’s Old Town

Umag’s 17th-century Old Town is best explored on foot. Strolling around the old cobbled streets, there are a number of attractions that are well worth visiting. The Museum of Umag is a great place to learn more about the town’s Italian history and cultural influence. Also be sure to check out the old clock tower in the town square, and the parish church with its intricately painted interior.

Country-hopping

As Umag is located right near Croatia’s northern border, it’s easy to drive to a couple of other European countries as day-trips. Located just 50 minutes away by car is Koper, which is Slovenia’s largest coastal city. It’s a great place to visit if you like old towns, with some ornate Venetian architecture. And in just over an hour from Umag, you could be in Trieste, Italy, with its huge piazzas and old Roman ruins.
