Umag and its riviera (which is about 20km long) is very popular destination. The old town in Umag has attractive and narrow, cobbled streets. The coast is full of pretty little bays and there are some 60,000 hotel beds and those in private accommodation here. There are also many camping and caravan sites along the coast, which are well run and highly recommended for an inexpensive holiday. Umag is also well known for its marina and the international tennis centre which hosts the Croatian Open every July.

History of Umag
As with much of Istria, Umag was inhabited by the Romans in the early centuries, and was also part of the Venetian Empire from 1248. After the fall of Venice, it became under Austrian control and was then Italian until 1943, before being given to Yugoslavia in 1953. It was part of Croatia that declared independence in 1991.

Sightseeing in Umag
