It is also a great place for taking long walks in peaceful nature with birds walking around the park. There is also a multimedia centre available where digital enthusiasts will be able to enjoy videos about the Salina Park. You really should not miss this park if you come to Portorož.

Arts and Convention Centre Avditorij Portorož

Most people come to the coast only for the sea and for the relaxing activities related to lying at the beach and staying at a hotel. Luckily, you can do more than that in Portorož as the city also offers cultural activities and the place to visit is the Avditorij Portorož with its wide offer of cultural and entertainment program, including conferences and other events, such as concerts, theatrical as well as dance performances. If you want to catch some cultural events, the Avditorij Portorož is the right address.

Parenzana Trail

Do you enjoy cycling and history? You might find a real gem close to Portorož in the form of the Parenzana trail, a former narrow gauge railway that connected Trieste with Porec and was operating from the beginning of the century until 1935 when it was terminated due to unprofitability and the development of roads. Today, the Parenzana trail is a popular cycling route that will take you from Koper, past Portorož and towards the city of Porec in Croatia. It is a beautiful experience with beautiful views of the surrounding hills, taking the cycling experience to a whole new level. Set off to the adventure and explore Istria on a bicycle!
