Gita in bici di un giorno da Portorose a Umago

Ready for a ride from glitzy Portorož to coastal Umag? This 24 km route serves up the best of the Adriatic, rolling you through olive groves, vineyards, and charming Istrian hills. Starting in Portorož, known for its vibrant promenade, spa culture, and seaside cafés, you’ll pedal mostly on quiet roads and tracks—perfect for soaking in the views and dodging heavy traffic.

Expect a few gentle climbs (about 227 meters in total, so nothing too intense), with the highest point giving you lovely panoramas over the Slovenian and Croatian coastlines. The path is a mix: mostly paved and asphalt, but keep an eye out for some gravelly and unpaved stretches—just enough for a sense of adventure!

As you cross into Croatia, you'll wind toward Umag, famed for its old town, seafood, and tennis tournaments. Finish your ride with a dip in the Adriatic, a gelato, or just a stroll along Umag’s historic harbor. Don’t forget your passport, some sunscreen, and a camera—the Istrian coast never disappoints!
