Medulin - once a small fishing village, today is a modern tourist center. It is one of the main centers of Istrian tourism with richly indented coastline. The sea makes up three-quarters of the Medulin Riviera with rich flora and fauna which further enhances a visit to this area. Medulin is a town where you can spend a quiet and romantic but also a dynamic and meaningful holiday. The city is known for its beautiful sandy, pebble and rocky beaches, the most famous being Bijeca. Because of its rich sports infrastructure it is a favorite destination for sporting activities throughout the year, where sports fans can enjoy football, horse riding, tennis, sailing, mini golf, flying, bowling, beach volleyball, diving, the underwater world, and many other water sports. Explore the Vižules archaeological site with ruins of Roman villas and tour the old windmills by the sea. While enjoying the various offerings of Medulin, take some time to visit ancient Pula, Istrian Mummies, National Park Brijuni, National Park Plitvice Lakes, Nature Park Cape Kamenjak, Venice and many other beautiful sights on the Istrian peninsula. At one of the many festivities held during the summertime you can try some of the specialties of Medulin such as crab sald, cuttlefish risotto, Istrian prosciutto or any of the aromatic specialties made with truffles. You can enjoy yourself and relax during concerts of classical music, visit restaurants and dance on their terraces or visit one of the night clubs and entertain yourself until the morning. While in Medulin, don’t miss the opportunity to visit other nearby tourist centers such as Rovinj, Poreč, Pazin and Umag.

Did you know? The name Medulin comes from the old Roman name of Mutila.

Landmarks:

Vižula- the great ancient archaeological complex which is located in the very center of the Medulin bay. This complex contains the remains of ancient tombs, remains of settlements of the older Neolithic period and the remains of a roman country villa. This complex is of great importance because it is proof of the existence of human culture in the area of Medulin during the older Neolithic period.

Prehistoric forts on the Vrčevan hill – the hill Vrčevan and Kašteji peninsula are home to prehistoric forts which were built during the Middle Bronze and Iron Ages.

Arcus – in the XX century during the excavation of the base for Hotel Arcus, remains of an ancient cemetery were found.

Pre - Romanesque sculpture on St. Peter hill – pieces of a pre - Romanesque sculpture were found on the hill of St. Peter.

      Miasto to super miejsce do spędzenia wakacji! Wszędzie jest blisko i można dojechać do wielu miast w Chorwacji! W mieście znajduje się wiele restauracji z przemiłą obsługą, serdecznie polecamy lody przy wejściu na wyspę. Oczarować mogą widoki oraz mała ilość ludzi w mieście. Idealne na odpoczynek

      Ugodan boravak u Tribunju
      Tribunj je lijepo mjesto pokraj Vodica. Za vrijeme našeg boravka nije bila gužva pa se lijepo moglo ići na plažu i u restorane. Svidjelo nam se peto je do Vodica pola sata lagane šetnje po novoj šetnici pa možete posjetiti Vodice kad god želite, bez trpljenja gužve

      Mi már régóta járunk Tribunjba, szeretjük az ősfás Zamalin beachet, a cuki óvárost és az évről évre bővülő étterem kínálatot. 2024-ben kifejezetten nagy volt a tömeg a korábbi évekhez képest, de a megszokott helyeinken még mindig ismerősként köszönt a vendéglős. :) Nekünk nagyon kedves hely Tribunj.

      Krasne miesto s historickou castou
      Mila dedinka,kde najdete vsetko co potrebujete. My sme navstevovali plaz na juhu tribunj smerom na Vodice, uzasna plaz, plna slnecnikov, ciste more, sprchy, restauracie,bary a obchodiky. Na plaz na severe (zamaljn) sme nechodila, pretoze voda bola spinava s nanosmi travy, veeela ludi, nie je miesto na plazi. Ked prejdete dalej najdete utesovu plaz,avsak pozor na jezkov, je ich tam vela. Odporucam vyuzit plavbu lodou do narodnych parkov (lod jastog) , priamo z Tribunj vas vezme do destinacii. Navstivili sme mesto Sibenik - odporicam,krasne mesto, vela pamiatok, dobre jedlo, historicke pamiatky. Vodice - mensie mestecko ako Vodice, staci si zajst az vecer, treba vyskusat rolovanu zmrzlinu,kt. Vam pripravia pred vasimi ocami a odporucame vystupenie umelca na namesti a aquarium. Tiez sme si boli pozriet ostrov Murter - na plazi sme nasli chobotnicu,cize pozor. Ale ostrov je krasny. Vransko jezero - odporucam navstivit vsetkymi 10timi, krasne miesto- je tam adventure park, ornitologicky chodnik a odporucam sa zastavit aj na kamenjaku, krasne vyhlady,wc a restauracia
      Ubytovanie - chybajuce riady- pre trojclennu rodinu sme mali jednu polievkovu lyzicu a jeden priborovy nozik. V okoli velmi velky hluk do rana z okolitych barov a restauracii. V penzione uplne vsetko pocut, aj ked z apartmanu nad vami ide niekto na wc, al nieco posunie. ...
