From Valalta Belvedere the country opens up. On a clear day it is one of the better panoramas you will find in the region.

## Good to know

Valalta Belvedere stands in **Istria**, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Cloud cover can ruin a panorama, so pick a clear day. A jumper helps, it is often windier up high.

## Practical info

- **Entry:** check the official site for today's price and hours. These move with the seasons, and some locations close fully outside the main window.
- **How to get there:** Tap the map for the route. Croatian town parking is mostly paid and marked with blue P signs; if your trip involves an island, build buffer time in for the ferry.

## Best time to visit

Valalta Belvedere rewards a visit between **May and October**. The sweet spot is June or September, when the water is warm and the crowds thinner than in July and August. Come in winter and you find a quieter, cheaper country, at its most likeable inland.
