By bicycle from Portorož to Buje

Ready for a sun-soaked ride with a dash of adventure? Start your journey in Portorož, Slovenia’s famed seaside resort, known for its beautiful Adriatic beaches and lively vibe. As you leave the coast behind, you’ll cruise along mostly paved roads (and a bit of gravel for that crunchy countryside feel) through rolling hills and quiet stretches—perfect for soaking in the scenery.

The route is about 19.5 km with a decent climb of over 300 meters, so expect a bit of a workout! You’ll pedal along peaceful roads and dedicated cycleways, passing olive groves and vineyards typical of this borderland.

End your ride in the charming Istrian hilltown of Buje, just across the Croatian border. Buje is packed with history—think ancient stone streets and hilltop views. Grab a coffee in the old town and savor a well-earned rest before exploring more of Istria’s stunning landscapes. Don’t forget your passport, and enjoy the ride!
