The beginnings of tourist trade in Novigrad go as
far back as the end of the 19th century, and in 1896 the hotels Al Lido and Al
Porto were already open. Parallelly the public beach was constructed. Between
the two world wars tourists were offered accommodation in the boarding-houses
Citta di Trieste and Trovatore. A sudden expansion of tourism in Novigrad began
in the 1960s, when companies from Slovenia started to build numerous holiday
centres on the Karpinjan peninsula, and then the company Plava Laguna from Novigrad
made large-scale investments. Today Novigrad can provide accommodation for up to
10,000 visitors a day. Tourists can choose to stay in a hotel, pension,
campsite, apartments or rooms. Sports and recreational facilities add to an
eventful stay - the usual ground and water sports, terraces with live music,
rich gastronomic offer, organized excursions, sightseeing.
The tourist
offer of the coastal ambience includes the possibility of hunting in the Mirna
valley, canoeing on the Mirna, etc. Traditional events: Jazz Festival Heineken
Music Nights (in August); folk feast of St. Pelagus, the patron saint of the
town, which lasts for three days (end of August).
Novigrad Marina has 86
berths in the sea and 30 places on the land; length of vessels 6-12 m; maximum
sea depth 2.2 m.
NOVIGRAD, a town and
port at the western coast of Istria; 15 km southwest of Buje.
Situated on a small limestone peninsula comprising the south-western top of the Bujstina region
and, in the north, the entrance into the vast bay of the harbour
of Mirna. The position provides favourable shelter due to which the location was
inhabited in the early times. The port is protected
from all winds, except the westerly and north-westerly winds which raise waves. A breakwater protects
the port from the southwest, along which, on the inner side, smaller
vessels with the draught of 3.5 m can anchor. The little port
in the south-eastern part of the port can accommodate yachts only. The anchorage ground is
200 m northeast of the pier at a depth of 3 to 4 m. In
1983 a marina was constructed. The forested surroundings and well-indented coast are a
special attraction. Chief occupations are farming and fishing. Fishing grounds in the coastal
zone of Novigrad expand from the harbour of Dalja in the
north to the harbour of Mirna in the southeast. Located on the regional road.
