We stayed for two nights on a campground in Celena Laguna about 10 kms away from Poreč. A small street train brought us close to the old town into the harbour. In the afternoon when the sun is hot there's not much going on in the old town. Only tens of restaurants try to convince one to sit on the many empty seats.

Many houses look not well maintained and close to a breakdown however it is a nice atmosphere with the Mediterranean Sea around the city. In the cathedral there are some information signs about its history that name the rooms one can visit and most interesting some mosaics from up to 1700 years in the past. The bell tower gives a nice view over the city and warns when the bell goes what did not prevent us from standing there and holding our ears closed so that they would not fall off. The cathedral itself we were able to visit later in the evening as it was used for a mass when we wanted to go in. It is a nice looking cathedral without any remarkable highlights.

In the evening it was then super hard to find a spot in a restaurant as suddenly the city was full of people and we ended up in a very crappy place at the end of the restaurant area.

All in all Poreč has some history to offer however it does not leave one behind breathless.
