Things to do in Groznjan

Piazza dell’Unità (or Piazza dell'Unità d’Italia) is a huge sea-facing square and a magnificent accomplishment of civic pride. Once a location for extravagant processions and celebrations, today a combination of landmark architecture and cultural events continue to make it the city’s pulsating heart. Designed by Giuseppe Bruni, Piazza dell'Unità is enclosed on three sides, with one open side looking out over the Gulf of Trieste. Visit the square to appreciate its architecture, attend concerts and enjoy people-watching opportunities.

Spend some time soaking up the sun at Portorož Beach, a sandy stretch of coastline with a large and clean swimming area. It has a few piers that offer views of the picturesque coast. It is one of the few natural beaches in the region and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Whether you explore Canal Grande di Trieste by boat or on foot, there is no more unique way to discover the city. The waterway, which originates from the Gulf of Trieste, flows into the city center. Use it as a jumping off point to discover the picturesque surrounding neighborhood, Borgo Teresiano.

Rovinj Harbour forms the heart of the beautiful town of Rovinj. Around the little harbor, where tiny colored fishing boats bob gently, cobbled lanes are lined by Venetian-era houses. Soak up the tranquil atmosphere, admire the Old Town buildings and linger over a dinner of fresh seafood as you watch the sun set over the Adriatic Sea.

Izola Marina has been the heart of the historic town since its early days as a Roman port. The marina is one of the country’s largest and its long breakwater creates a sheltered and serene environment for taking in the sights.
