Take a day trip to the closest beach, just 5 kilometres away, before exploring Bale, a magical little town also known as ’the town of butterflies’. Stroll through the cobbled streets of the old town and tour the 16th century Soardo-Bembo castle. You can also visit the gorgeous city palace and the Histria Aromatica estate featuring native herbs with aromatic smells. The Ulika multimedia center offers family-friendly amusement, featuring 200-million-years-old dinosaur bones, which is why Bale is also a palaeontological site. Once you’re done exploring Bale, take a trip to the coastal pearls of Rovinj and Pula and discover their many cultural and historical monuments.
