As one of Croatia’s national parks, Brijuni are known as an oasis of peace. According to legend, the islands were formed when angels pieced together little pieces of heaven strewn across the land of Istria.
Dinosaur footprints and ruins of ancient Roman villas, Byzantine forts, Venetian buildings, and Austro-Hungarian architecture give the islands of Brijuni their singular charm, which worked its magic and won over the hearts of numerous stars of the silver screen and powerful political figures of the 20th century.
The best way to experience the tame wilderness of the Brijuni Islands is by visiting the unique Safari Park inhabited by numerous animal species, or by going for a stroll in the Mediterranean garden, home to more than 160 indigenous plant species.
