20 great things to do in Novigrad

Discover the best things to do in Novigrad with our insider’s tips on sightseeing, dining and drinking

Located north towards Italy, its compact centre attracting daytrippers from over the border, Novigrad is neither as posh as Rovinj nor as packed as Poreč, but that’s precisely why this can be a charming location for a relaxing time by the sea. The seaward tip of its Old Town peninsula has a shaded park and a waterside walkway, behind which Novigrad finds room for a surprising number of decent bars, hotels and restaurants. A contemporary marina hints at a buoyant local economy.
