Cycling day trip from Poreč to Novigrad

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming coastal town of Poreč, a little gem in Istria known for its stunning architecture and the famous Euphrasian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you pedal out of town, you'll begin a scenic ride that stretches just over 20 kilometers towards Novigrad.

The route is a delightful mix of surfaces and path types, perfect for cyclists who enjoy a bit of variety. Most of your ride will be on quiet roads, with brief encounters on tracks and busy roads that keep things interesting. Prepare for a modest ascent—nothing too demanding—with the max elevation peaking at around 106 meters.

Around 61% of the journey is on smooth asphalt, but you'll find yourself on gravel tracks for some sections, adding a rustic element to your ride. Don’t worry, the mixed surfaces just make the ride all the more authentic.

As you reach Novigrad, you'll be welcomed by its quaint old town and vibrant marina, perfect spots to unwind and soak up the atmosphere. It's hard not to fall in love with the laid-back vibes and stunning coastal views. Happy cycling!
