The last weekend of September is the perfect opportunity to discover Istria from a different perspective. To mark World Tourism Day, celebrated annually on September 27, a variety of programmes and activities for all generations will take place across Istria County.

This September, Medulin welcomes a brand-new attraction that will delight history enthusiasts, culture lovers and families alike. The Explora Vižula Interpretation Centre opens its doors on September 4 and 5 on the beautiful Vižula Peninsula, one of the most important archaeological sites in Istria.

Through modern multimedia features, interactive exhibitions and engaging stories, visitors will discover what life was like in Roman times, explore the mysteries of the ancient villa on Vižula and learn about the daily lives of its inhabitants.

But the opening offers much more than a museum visit.

In a unique synthesis of heritage, artistic expression, and modern technological solutions, visitors are offered an opportunity to experience the story of Brijuni in a completely new way. Light and visual effects will bring the archipelago's historical journey to life, tracing the period from the arrival of Paul Kupelwieser and his farsighted transformation of Brijuni all the way to the contemporary era.

Medulin is surrounded by rocky and pebbly shores, but Bijeca offers something different: one kilometre of sand and a gentle entrance to the sea. It is Medulin’s most famous beach and a place where families can comfortably spend an entire summer day.
