Novigrad

Situated on the western coast of Istria, Novigrad is a captivating town where the spirit of the Mediterranean lives on through narrow cobbled streets, vibrant seaside promenades, and centuries-old architecture.

Culture and gastronomy play a central role in Novigrad’s appeal. The town is home to several notable landmarks, including the 8th-century St. Pelagius Church and its iconic bell tower. Art galleries, open-air concerts, and food festivals bring the streets to life, while the local cuisine delights with fresh seafood, homemade pasta, and Istria’s renowned wines and olive oils. The nearby marina also makes Novigrad a favorite stop for sailing enthusiasts exploring the Croatian coast.
