Attractions
The UNESCO World Heritage site of the Euphrasian Basilica is the highlight of Porec's
historic buildings. This 6
th
century church with its beautiful Byzantine frescoes, and bell
tower offering 360 degree views of Porec and the Adriatic, is a must-see. There are also
museums and galleries hosted in private homes and palaces worth spending an hour or two
visiting.
Other Things to See and Do
You can cycle the surrounding area with plenty of good paths hugging the waterfront. Porec
offers a rich cultural programme of music festivals and concerts during summer ranging
from jazz to classical. It is also a drawcard for partygoers with discos and nightclubs dotted
around the city. For day trips Rovinj is an hour by bus and Venice is two and half hours
away by hydrofoil.
