Brijuni Islands

National Park Brijuni Islands

Full-day excursion

The Brijuni Islands consist of 14 islands and islets and are an extraordinary mix of natural beauty and cultural and historical heritage. Indigenous plants, preserved Mediterranean maquis, meadows where fallow deer, chital deer and mouflons freely graze all make part of the Brijuni landscape that you will experience during the excursion.
The archaeological and other sites located away from the island’s centre can be visited by train: the Verige Bay with the remnants of a Roman villa rustica from the 1st century AD, as well as the safari park that is home to many animals, such as zebras, Somali sheep, humped zebu cattle, dromedary camels, llamas and elephants. It is noteworthy that as many as 200 dinosaur footprints have been identified on the Veli Brijun Island. The archaeological museum, located in a Venetian castle dating from the 16th century, the small Gothic Church of St. German from the 15th century housing a permanent display of fresco replicas and Glagolitic monuments of Istria, a natural science collection, and the exhibition “Tito on the Brijuni Islands” are also a part of the sightseeing tour.


After the tour, our journey takes us to Rovinj, a picturesque and charming town that was founded on an island whose spatial configuration was such that it only allowed for close-built houses, narrow alleys and small squares, which have to date remained unaffected by modern urban planning.
