Part 1: Parenzana Bike Trail
1. Overview of the Parenzana Bike Trail
The Parenzana Trail is a cycling and walking route that runs through Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, between Trieste, Italy and Poreč, Croatia.
It’s 123 kilometres (76 miles) long.
This Parenzana bike map shows the route of the trail through Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia.

History
The route follows the old Parenzana railway line, which connected Trieste (Italy) to Poreč (Croatia), passing through Slovenia as well.
This railway, which was in operation from 1902 to 1935, had a total length of about 135 kilometres.
However today the Parenzana Cycle Path, which follows part of the old railway route, is approximately 123 kilometre long, as some sections have been modified or are not accessible as a cycle path.
Navigation and signposting
Yes, the route is well signposted along the entire route from Trieste to Poreč. These signs typically show direction, distance and other useful information and make it an easy route for cyclists of all abilities to follow. However, do pay particular attention in some more remote sections or areas where signage may be less frequent.
Cyclists on a FunActive Tour of the Parenzana trail can also use our navigation app to help guide them along the route.
What are the surfaces like?
Approximately 80-90% of the route is on traffic-free tracks. These include a mix of surfaces (roughly 65% gravel and 35% paved) and follow the the former railway through forests, old towns and vineyards.
In some places the old railway is now a road; these sections of paved asphalt tend to be relatively quiet, but there are a couple of busier sections of road cycling in major towns on the coast, such as Koper and Poreč.
Overall, the Parenzana is designed to be a mostly car-free cycling route, offering a safe and enjoyable journey through beautiful natural and historical landscapes.
Is the trail just for cyclists, or who else may use it?
The off-road sections of the Parenzana are both a cycling and walking path. It was originally a railway line, but today serves as a multi-use trail, allowing both cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy the route.
2. Why is the Parenzana bike trail a must-do ride?
Cycling the Parenzana Trail is a must-do for three main reasons: scenery, a timeless sense of history, and the fact it’s not too demanding, so it’s a challenge a range of cyclists can complete.
Connecting Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia, it offers a unique cultural and travel experience. Riding the Parenzana Trail is a fabulous way to explore three countries by bike.
- Historical significance: The Parenzana Trail follows the route of the old Parenzana railway line, which once connected Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia. The narrow gauge railway that the trail follows was once a crucial communication route for the region. It transported coal, salt, olives, wine, fruit, people and mail between Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia. The railway closed in 1935, and the tracks were dismantled. Communities around the trail disintegrated; people left, homes were abandoned. Over time, though, the route has been transformed into a path for tourism and outdoor activities. Every section of the trail tells tales of the past. Along the way, you come across tunnels (like the 550m long Valeta tunnel), bridges, and abandoned stations, reflecting the region’s industrial and social history.
- Scenic beauty: The route takes you through a variety of impressive landscapes, with vineyards, olive groves, rolling hills, and mediaeval towns. As well as cycling past the Strunjan Nature Reserve and its striking cliffs, you will also pass through many historic hilltop towns, including Motovun and Grožnjan – each offers great views and the opportunity to buy local products from the surrounding farms, such as honey, olive oil and jams. The quaint coastal village of Novigrad is also lovely. More on these below.
- Cultural experience: As it crosses three countries, the trail allows travellers to experience diverse cultures, local traditions, and cuisines. Some experiences you can encounter along the route include truffle hunting in the Istrian countryside with local hunters searching for valuable white and black truffles. As you ride through the hills of Slovenia and Croatia you may also encounter local shepherds, in areas like Karst, they produce local cheeses such as Tolminic and Bovec. Some farms even offer tastings of these! The Sečovlje Salt Pans are also a fascinating pit stop that date back to Roman times; the salt is still produced using the same traditional methods.
- Easygoing terrain: Other than for a few exceptions, the trail is generally pretty flat and so is achievable by cyclists of all levels. The overall elevation gain is 750 metres of elevation across the whole route so it’s suitable for a range of cyclists, and can be enjoyed at a leisurely or more challenging pace; just adjust how many days you take to ride it.
- Wine and olives: Along with cycling and hiking, follow the Parenzana route and you can also indulge in wine tasting in wineries found in Brda in Slovenia and Kras in Italy. Some of the delicious local wines include Malvasia, Teran and Rebula.
- Experience the transition: Cycling the Parenzana trail ensures you experience the transition between three countries. In Italy you will notice more coastal cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, whereas in Slovenia the landscapes are more green and rolling, with forests and vineyards. Other changes you’ll notice include the change from Venetian and Austro-Hungarian architecture to more Slavic style buildings, the change of language and a change from Italian cuisine such as seafood and pasta to more rustic, hearty dishes.

3. Highlights of the Parenzana Trail
My three favourite parts of the Parenzana Trail are as follows:
Trieste to Muggia (Italy)
This section offers coastal views of the Adriatic Sea, complemented by a unique blend of Italian and Slavic influences. Trieste itself is also a historic port city – more on it below.
Buje to Višnjan (Croatia)
This part takes you through the heart of Istrian wine country, where you’ll be surrounded by scenic vineyards and olive groves. The towns here are both charming and traditional, offering an authentic glimpse of rural Istria. The vineyards and picturesque hilltop villages can also provide wine-tasting pit stops en route.
Buje in Croatia is famous for its Malvasia and Teran wines and you’ll find several wineries with tastings available amidst scenic vineyards. More Croatian wine can be found in Monjam which is known for Muscat wine.
Poreč (Croatia)
The final destination, Poreč, is a historic Croatian town. It’s known for its Roman and Byzantine architecture, including the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica. After an incredible journey through the countryside, this town rich in history, culture and seaside vibe is the ultimate reward.

4. The Parenzana (day by day)
Given the route is 123 kilometres, it would be feasible for an experienced cyclist to ride it in a day. However, extending it into a multi-day itinerary makes it more of a holiday. Here’s our suggested day-by-day itinerary on the Parenzana.
Day 1: Arrival in Trieste
Arrive in Trieste, which is easily accessible by train, plane, or car. Explore the city’s historic cafes, once the haunt of famous writers like Svevo and Joyce. Don’t miss a stroll through Piazza Unità d’Italia, the city’s main square. If time permits, Miramare Castle overlooks the sea and is well worth a look.
Trieste
The starting point of the Parenzana, Trieste is a port city on the Gulf of Trieste, known for its multicultural history. Key sights include:
- Piazza Unità d’Italia, one of Europe’s largest waterfront squares.
- Miramare Castle and the scenic Barcola promenade.
- Historic cafes reflecting the city’s Austro-Hungarian influence
Day 2: Trieste to Piran / Portoroz, 45 kilometres
Your cycling journey begins at the site of the historic Parenzana railway. You’ll start at Trieste station, built in 1906 and featuring typical Austro-Hungarian architecture. Next, you’ll cross the border into Slovenia and cycle through mostly flat forests and countryside, enjoying the natural beauty of the Istrian region.
Near the seaside city of Izola stands the original steam locomotive, weighing over 28 tonnes with 300 horsepower. It carried three cubic metres of water and two of coal, stopping at eight stations to refill.
At the end of this stage, savour a long descent with a far-reaching view of the city of Piran, on Slovenia’s Adriatic coast.
Be aware! Today the Parenzana Trail joins the EuroVelo 8 route from Muggia and continues on this until just past the Croatian border. This cycling largely takes place on coastal roads that can be busy at times with local traffic, especially during the busy summer months.
- Side note: EuroVelo 8 is part of the EuroVelo network, which spans several European countries along the Mediterranean Coast. In Italy, EuroVelo 8 follows a section that begins in Trieste and extends to the border with Slovenia, passing through Muggia. After Muggia, the route continues into Slovenia, crossing the Istrian coast. The specific stretch connecting Muggia to the Croatian border mainly follows coastal roads, which can become particularly crowded during the summer months due to local traffic and tourism. In this area, EuroVelo 8 is a shared cycling and pedestrian path alongside vehicle traffic. However, once past the border, the route becomes less congested and more rural.
Muggia
A picturesque Italian seaside town. Highlights include:
- Venetian atmosphere.
- Historic centre with narrow streets and colourful houses.
- Fantastic views of the Gulf of Trieste and the Karst mountains.
Koper

Day 3: Piran to Livade / Motovun, 55 kilometres
Leave the Venetian architecture of Piran behind, you continue along the historic Parenzana railway route. Venturing inland, you’ll pass the Secovlje salt pans, where the prized “fior di sale” unrefined salt is still harvested using traditional methods. For those who want to learn more, the Museum of Salt Making is worth a visit. The cycle path continues through unspoiled natural landscapes, leading you to Livade and Motovun, set among the Istrian countryside.

Day 4: Livade / Motovun to Poreč, 35 kilometres

5. Options for riding the Parenzana
Route choice
There is one official route for the Parenzana Trail, which follows the historic railway line between Trieste (Italy) and Poreč (Croatia). While the trail can feature slight detours or access points in places, and of course you can divert off if you want to see particular attractions, the core route remains the same.
What kind of bike is best for riding the Parenzana Trail?
Due to the fact much of the route is on quite a rough surface, general wisdom is to ride a mountain bike or an electric mountain bike. However, a gravel bike would also work.
Could you ride the Parenzana Trail on a road bike?
A road bike is not recommended for the Parenzana trail. The dirt paths and uneven surfaces of the route are not suitable.

Can you ride an e-bike?
Along the Parenzana route, there are no dedicated charging stations for e-bikes directly on the trail. However, most hotels along the route are equipped with charging stations where you can recharge your e-bike overnight.
It’s a good idea to plan your stops in advance, confirming with accommodations ahead of time that they offer this service. This will ensure a smooth, uninterrupted, and more enjoyable journey.
Bike rental options
You can rent bikes in Trieste, where you’ll find a range of options. There are various gravel bikes, e-bikes, and mountain bikes to ensure a comfortable ride.

6. How challenging is riding the Parenzana?
Overall, riding the Parenzana is generally considered to be at the easier end of the spectrum. The trail offers a mix of easy to moderately challenging terrain, with some gravel paths, gentle climbs, and descents.
Although the Parenzana route is often ridden by children with a good level of fitness and experience, we believe this route is best suited for older children, typically aged 14 years plus.

7. What’s the best time of year to ride the Parenzana Trail?
The weather along the Parenzana Trail varies depending on the time of year and the specific region, as the route spans parts of Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia.
Spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) are usually suggested as the best times of year to ride. These seasons bring mild temperatures, which are ideal for cycling the Parenzana Trail.
Here are some general temperature and rainfall trends to be aware of when planning your ride.
Spring (March to May)
Temperatures are mild, ranging from 10°C to 20°C. This is usually a great time to cycle, as the landscape is lush and green, and the weather is typically pleasant. However ,it can occasionally be rainy at this time of year.
Summer (June to August)
Expect warmer temperatures, often reaching 25°C to 35°C. Some very hot spells are usual in July and August. It can get quite sunny and dry, especially in inland areas. If you want to beat the heat, early morning or late afternoon riding is best.
Autumn (September to November)
Similar to spring, temperatures range from 10°C to 20°C, but there are more frequent rain showers in October and November. This is another excellent time to enjoy the trail, as the weather is still mild. The autumn colours also enhance the already lovely landscapes.
Winter (December to February)
Winters are typically mild but can get colder, especially inland. While temperatures rarely drop below freezing, the trail may be more difficult to navigate. This is due to rain, mud, or even occasional snow at higher altitudes.
Riding the Parenzana in winter isn’t recommended by tour operators. During this season, the weather can be unpredictable, with colder temperatures, and more rain. This can make some sections of the trail muddy or slippery.
Shorter daylight hours and possible disruptions in services may also make the ride less enjoyable – as well as more challenging.

Does it get very busy?
The Parenzana cycling trail is busiest in summer, when tourists flock to the Istrian beaches. There is less traffic on the route in spring and autumn.
Be aware! The one-day MTB Parenzana Event typically takes place at the end of April and closes a section of the Parenzana route to non competitors. You should check ahead of your visit that your dates don’t clash to avoid any issues.
8. Where to stay on the Parenzana?
Along the Parenzana Trail, cyclists will find family-run B&Bs and agriturismos in charming, rustic buildings. This kind of cozy accommodation offers a warm, personal atmosphere, with the owners eager to share local culture and traditions.
FunActive Tours include a range of accommodation options that offer a flavour of the areas you visit on the Parenzana trail. This includes small bed and breakfasts, coastal hotels and a rural guesthouse in the heart of Istria, near Motovun. We also include a stay in a luxurious resort in Portorož in Slovenia, with options to unwind thanks to the spa services available.
Is it hard to find accommodation?
It’s easy to find accommodation along the Parenzana route. Well-known towns and villages like Trieste, Piran, Izola, Portorož, Motovun, and Poreč all offer a wide range of lodging options, including hotels, guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, and agriturismo.
What we love is that many places are cyclist-friendly, offering amenities like bike storage and repair services. It’s a good idea to book in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak travel seasons (spring to early autumn).
9. Practicalities for riding the Parenzana trail
Is it better to ride from Trieste to Poreč or the other way around?
Ideally, cycle the Parenzana route from Trieste to Poreč. The original railway headed in this direction of the trail enabling a more authentic way to experience the route.

Getting to Trieste
Trieste is thankfully easy to reach, with excellent transport connections. Trieste also has an international airport, Aeroporto di Trieste-Friuli Venezia Giulia, which offers flights to and from various European destinations.
The city is well-served by both train and bus networks, too. There are direct routes from major Italian cities like Venice, Milan, and Rome.
How to get home from Poreč
If you book a tour with FunActive, they can arrange a transfer back to the starting point of your tour. Or to the nearest major airport if you prefer, which is Pula Airport. Otherwise, you could arrange a private transfer, one-way car hire, or use public transport to get back to Trieste.
Can you take your bikes on public transport?
Bikes can be transported via public transport options such as trains. The ability to carry bikes on buses may vary depending on the area and operator. If you’re planning your own transfers, it’s best to check this carefully in advance.
Suggested training
Before tackling the Parenzana, it’s a good idea to do some two to three hour rides to build stamina. Also practice on hills to prepare for the ascents and gravel paths to get used to a variety of surfaces. Exercises like squats and lunges can strengthen your legs.

Border crossings: Italy – Croatia – Slovenia
Our guests typically find that these are generally very easy to navigate and there are usually no border checks.
However it is always advisable to carry some valid ID (such as your passport) in case this is required in special circumstances.
Highway code and travel information
As ever, it’s a good idea to check current travel information before you book and travel, especially since you visit three countries on this trip. For UK visitors, the UK government travel information pages for Italy are here, for Slovenia are here and Croatia are here.
You should also read and follow Italy, Slovenia and Croatia’s highway code.
Do you need to carry cash?
Ideally, carry both cash and a credit card during your bike tour. While most places accept cards, having cash (particularly Kuna for Croatia) on hand can be useful for smaller shops, cafes, or in areas where card payments might not be accepted. It’s also a good idea to have some emergency funds, just in case you need them.
Do you need a tour?
Booking an organised tour with FunActive means you can fully enjoy the experience, without any worries. We’ll provide you with a pre-planned itinerary including accommodation, luggage transfers, and bike support so you can focus solely on your ride. More details below.

10. Tips for getting the most from your trip
Here are some essential tips for tackling any bike tour, including the Parenzana Trail.
- Prepare your bike: Make sure your bike is in good condition before the tour. Check tyre pressure, brakes, and gears. Carry a pump, plus a repair kit so you can carry out basic fixes like punctures.
- Pack light: Keep your luggage light by packing only the essentials. Use panniers for balanced storage, and avoid overloading.
- Dress for comfort: Wear padded shorts to avoid discomfort on long rides. Layer your clothing so you can easily adapt to weather changes, and use moisture-wicking materials to stay dry throughout the day. Take a look at this article for more detailed cycling holiday packing suggestions.
- Stay hydrated: Carry enough water and drink regularly to stay hydrated, especially during warmer weather.
- Plan your route: Get to know the route in advance, including potential stops, places to eat and drink, and rest areas. Ensure you have a map with you, and/or a GPS app for navigation (plus a fully charged device).
- Pace yourself: Don’t push too hard on the first day. Pace yourself and take breaks when needed, especially if you’re not used to long-distance cycling.
- Snack right: Have light, energy-boosting snacks like fruit, nuts, or energy bars to hand, so you can stay fueled throughout the ride.
- Safety first: Always wear a helmet and follow local cycling laws. Ensure visibility by wearing bright clothing, and using lights when cycling in low-light conditions.
- Weather prep: Check the weather forecast, but always be prepared for rain or sudden changes, too, by packing a waterproof jacket or poncho.
- Enjoy the ride: Don’t forget to stop and take in the views! The Parenzana route is all about enjoying the journey, rather than focusing on the destination.
- Language: It’s not necessary to speak Italian, Croatian, or Slovenian to complete the Parenzana route. English is widely spoken and understood along the path, especially in tourist areas. Many signs and information are also available in multiple languages. Learning a few basic phrases in the native language can always enhance your experience, however, when it comes to connecting with the locals.
- Traffic rules: Road rules will vary depending on the country you’re in. So it’s always a good idea to check all local regulations before starting your journey. There’s a summary of the rules for cycling in Italy in this guide.
