New Vinodol this winter again becomes the center of Christmas joy thanks to the Novi Advent event, which brings a diverse program for all generations. The city will be decorated with thousands of sparkling lights, creating a magical atmosphere at every step.


Opening of Advent and lighting of the lights


The Advent program starts on December 1st at the Vinodol Law Square, where children from the Fijolica Kindergarten and Ivana Mažuranić Elementary School will perform a special program. After the blessing of the Advent candle, the city will shine in holiday attire, and visitors will enjoy a performance by the Aurora group.


Santa Claus's House and children's programs


A special attraction for the youngest will be Santa Claus's House, which will be decorated this year as a fairy-tale kitchen. Children will be able to participate in storytelling sessions, write letters to Santa Claus, and enjoy creative workshops. The People's Reading Room and Library will also organize Christmas storytelling sessions, such as "Christmas Light" and "Frozen Tales".


Music and cultural programs


Throughout December, visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of music performances. Performances by groups like Mirakul, B Banda, and Voxford will further enrich the holiday atmosphere. In addition to musical events, creative workshops are organized, including making Christmas decorations from glass and ceramics, and the traditional Christmas quiz.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
