Biograd

Tourist destination info Biograd

Once the coronation city of Croatian kings, Biograd na Moru is today a modern tourist and nautical center, in the heart of the Adriatic, whose excellent transport links to the whole of Europe allow a quick and easy arrival to the destination.

Nature was in favor of Biograd, which boasts more than 300 sunny days a year.

Around Biograd, in a small area, a diverse landscape has been preserved - extremely indented coast, numerous islands and bays, wild mountains, clear rivers and the largest natural freshwater lake in Croatia. This allows a large selection of outdoor activities - sailing, diving, walking, biking, hiking, bird watching, canoeing, rafting. The town is surrounded by the national parks Kornati, Paklenica, Krka, Plitvice and Northern Velebit, nature parks Vrana Lake, Telaščica and Velebit.

In addition to exploring untouched nature, you can also embark on a journey into the past. Nearby are: Zadar, Vrana, Sibenik, Nin - places that boast reminders of our long and turbulent history.

Getting around in the town of Biograd is easy and you can get anywhere on foot. The old town is located on a peninsula, surrounded by coves that are today popular city beaches. There is a large selection of excellent restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and the offer of accommodation is wide and varied.

The most popular places for swimming are the pebble beach Dražice and the sandy beach Soline on the south side of the city, both in a pine forest and the pebble beach Bošana on the north side. The beaches include playgrounds and entertainment programs for children, water attractions, beach volleyball courts, bars and restaurants.

Manifestations and events are constantly organized in Biograd. We highlight the Slovenian Weekend, Gastro Festival, Street Music Festival, Biograd Night, Knights of Vrana, Biograd Boat Show, Carnival Regatta and Regatta for Valentine's Day. It is interesting that the largest number of regattas in Croatia is held here annually, the list can be found at this link.

From the entertainment for children, we single out Fun Park Biograd (which with its 26 attractions is the largest amusement park in the Balkans) and eco-friendly Adventure Park in the pine forest.

If you are a fan of gastronomy and want to taste the delicacies and specialties of this area, visit some of the many restaurants and taverns such as restaurant "Stari grad", restaurant "Guste", restaurant "Meduza", tavern "Vapor", tavern "Cadena" and restaurant "Arkada".

Tourist tradition, rich tourist, cultural, sports and catering offer are just some of the reasons for choosing Biograd as a destination for an interesting, diverse and dynamic vacation.


History of Biograd:

Biograd was built on the ruins of ancient Blandona. It was first named in the 10th century. It became the capital of medieval Croatian rulers, kings and bishops in the 11th century. As an important center of that time, King Petar Krešimir founded a diocese there in 1050, built a male and female Benedictine monastery and the basilica of St. Ivana (who was the only survivor of the Venetian demolition of Biograd in 1125).

Visit the church of St. Roko (votive church from the 16th century, erected in the honor of St. Roko, patron saint of plague victims), St. Stosia church (built on the remains of the 18th century cathedral), Franciscan convent of St. Dujam (founded in the 14th century, contains valuable baroque saintly images, as well as a rich library), St. Ante church (dates back to the 13th century, built in an early romantic style), remains of the Benedictine convent of St. Ivan (1069), remains of the Benedictine convent of St. Toma (1102), the parish church of St. Antonija (1850), remains of an ancient aqueduct and countless other sites.

      Ljudi su bili veoma ljubazni i prijatni tokom celog odmora. Biograd je pravo turističko letovalište sa dosta mladih, velikom ponudom smeštaja, restorana, kafića, klubova, izleta… Sam grad ima za svakog nešto, od žurki i zabavnih parkova, preko mobilnih kućica, do prelepog starog grada. Plaže su uređene, veoma čiste, sa nestvarnom bojom vode. Ono što Biograd svakako izdvaja su najlepši zalasci sunca.

      Perfect place for those who value peace and independence
      Beautifully located, well-maintained house in a great location (5 minutes from the Korčula port). Surrounding the house is an olive grove, lavender, rosemary, orange trees, and pomegranates. A large pool with clean and well-filtered water - perfect for bathing both during the day and at night. The house (bathroom/kitchen) is equipped with everything needed. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, eager to answer any question/request. A welcoming liqueur and delicious cake awaited us 😋. The house is situated high up, offering breathtaking views of the sea, the Pelješac peninsula, and Orebić. 3-10 minutes by car to a store, bakery, vegetable market, and fish market. I recommend it for couples and families with kids who never leave the pool 😁.

      A dream-come-true holiday.
      Perfect place to spend the time with your family, without any noise or crowds. Extraordinary view! Our kids loved to check the garden each day and find cucumbers, tomatoes or eggplants for dinner. Of course the best part, swimming pool all day! :-) Driveway well prepared, but very steep at some points, so please be careful when traveling with a big van. In this case, when in doubt, contact the owners, they will help for sure :-) Thank you to the owners for the hospitality and help!

      We enjoyed our holiday soooo much. A lovely house up on the hill, marvelous vieuw, total privacy, a great swimmingpool (and even greater swimmingpoolboy ☺) a bakeoven in the open air and in 10 minutes in the cosy old town of Korcula. Thank you Ostoya en Jelena for your hospitality and making our staying so pleasant. Nothing we asked was to much for you. We surely will come back next year.

      Krásné prostředí, příjemní a vstřícní majitelé.
      Ubytování je na krásném místě (samotě) uprostřed olivového háje, ze kterého je krásný výhled na Pelješac. Malý nedostatek byl v tom, že každou noc byla slyšet nedaleká diskotéka.

      Wir wohnten nicht nur inmitten der phantastischen Natur in einem entzückenden Haus, welches mit viel Liebe gestaltet wurde und mehr als genügend Platz bot. Es fehlte an Nichts. Die Gastgeberfamilie bestach durch Aufmerksamkeit, Zuvorkommenkeit Großzügigkeit und nicht zuletzt durch Herzlichkeit. All dies war in Summe für eine wunderschöne, außergewöhnlich entspannende Zeit verantwortlich - herzlichsten Dank dafür!
