Hotels
Umag is a picturesque old town located near the border with Slovenia.
The historic center of the town, which has survived to this day, used to be located on a small island, which has now been annexed to the mainland. In this prosperous town, the past and the present contrast with each other: architectural structures from the times of the Illyrians, Celts, and Romans in the historic part of the town are replaced by modern buildings.

Several folklore festivals are held in Umag: the folklore festival in honor of the patron saint of Umag - St. Pelegrinus (end of May); the folklore festival in honor of Mary of the Snows (August 5), the folklore festival in Umag and the village of Sveta Marija na krasu in honor of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (August 15).
Remains of defensive walls built in the Middle Ages have been preserved in Umag to this day. Also of interest is the Church of St. Pelegrino Martur, built in the Baroque style. The main highlight of the Church of St. Mary is the carved, unusually beautiful, painted wooden altar.
