By bike in Istria

Explore Istria on two wheels, from the green hills around Motovun to the Poreč coast and the countryside around Labin. Tailor your cycling trip to your fitness level, interests and holiday pace.

Discover the charm of Motovun

One of the highlights of a cycling trip through inland Istria is the view of Motovun and the Mirna Valley. This medieval hilltop town is surrounded by greenery and vineyards, and its stone streets invite you to pause and explore on foot.

Choose a route suited to your fitness level and allow time for breaks, local shops and Istrian cuisine. For a stay in this part of the peninsula, explore our accommodation in central Istria.

Cycling along the Poreč coast

After exploring the countryside, you can continue your holiday by the coast. The area around Poreč offers a different experience of Istria, with the sea, coastal scenery and opportunities to take a break in town.

Pause in the historic centre to explore the sights on foot. When cycling, use permitted routes and follow local signs. Find more inspiration in our guide to Poreč or browse accommodation on the Poreč Riviera.

An e-bike adventure around Labin

For a different cycling adventure, explore the area around Labin and eastern Istria. An e-bike can make riding over hilly terrain easier, but your chosen route should still suit your experience and abilities.

Enjoy the greenery and scenery at your own pace, take plenty of breaks and check route conditions before setting off. As a base for exploring, you could choose accommodation in eastern Istria.

Plan your holiday on two wheels

Whether you are an experienced cyclist or looking for a relaxed outing, choose a ride that suits you. Combine exploring towns and nature with breaks for local food, the sea and comfortable accommodation.

Before setting off, check your route, the weather forecast and your equipment. For bicycle hire or details about a route, contact a local provider or tourist board.

Before you go

  • Bring plenty of water and plan regular breaks.
  • Wear a protective helmet and check your bicycle before riding.
  • Check your route in advance, along with the weather forecast and local signs.
