Adventure for all
Are you the type of explorer in search of breathtaking natural beauty, or someone who finds pleasure in art or cultural and historical monuments, or a person that likes visiting archaeological sites? Whatever type of explorer you are, we can help you plan your daily excursions in the best way possible. The Crikvenica Riviera offers such a lot to do and enjoy that you won’t be able to resist.

Stone churches of all shapes and sizes
If you are interested in sacral buildings, then you have come to the right place. The region’s numerous churches and chapels will delight you with their interiors and exteriors. The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Church of St. Anthony of Padua and the Russian Orthodox Church in Crikvenica, the Church of St. Helen in Dramalj, the Church of St. James the Apostle in Jadranovo and St. Catherine’s Church in Selce are just a few of the larger churches that you must visit during your holiday. Be sure to leave some of the chapels undiscovered for your next journey.

Art linked to the sea
If you are interested in the fine arts inspired by local tradition, then be sure to pay a visit to the Crikvenica Town Museum. There, you can admire the archaeological, natural, cultural, historical and fishing collections. You can experience the wonderful combination of colours on canvas if you visit Crikvenica Town Gallery which presents the works of numerous artists.

Archaeological sites for real explorers
Those interested in archaeology will be delighted with the archaeological sites of this area that bear witness to the rich and dynamic life of the ancient Romans, but also to the life of long-extinct animals. The sites of Igralište in Crikvenica and Lokvišća in Jadranovo preserve the valuable ceramics of the ancient Romans, while the Vrtare Male cave in Dramalj is one of the richest paleontological sites in Croatia.

And, to top it off
For a special experience of the sea and the creatures who live there, visit the “Aquarium” in Crikvenica, where you will experience a story about the depths of the sea in a different and fascinating way.

Those who want to learn and to see more should visit and explore the magical hinterland – green Vinodol with the picturesque locations of Bribir, Drivenik, Grižane and Tribalj. To round off the experience of the area, don’t forget its intangible heritage. All customs, souvenirs, songs and dancing will show you how different and yet how similar we are, because we share the same values – the love of tradition and the desire to learn new things.
