During our day trip to the Istrian peninsula last week, we visited Motovun on our way back from Poreč.
Motovun is located inland on the peninsula. The town is built up on a hill, surrounded by a lovely expansive valley. It dates back to the medieval period, and has an old stone wall that runs a circle around the town at the top of the hill. We spent about an hour and a half in Motovun, just exploring the little narrow streets, finishing with a drink overlooking the valley below. The town is also well known for its annual film festival. It’s a great option for a short day trip if you’re in Istria.

Jennifer was initially drawn to Europe for two reasons: music and love. She lived in Vienna for four years, and now calls Croatia home for much of each year, as she married a native Croatian. Since 2015, Jennifer has worked as a tour director and cruise director on European river cruises for a major American travel company, and has become an expert in all of the cities along her routes on the Danube, Rhine, and Main Rivers. She also has traveled to Disney World almost every year since 1985, and knows Disney World inside and out. As a travel agent, Disney World is her primary specialty, and she has helped many Disney newbies and veterans have amazing trips with her insider information.
