==Tourism==
 +
Biograd is characterised by its picturesque soft sand and pebble beaches, shaded pine forest and brilliantly coloured waters. Legend has it that God, after creating the world, dropped all of the remaining beauty from his hand in the middle of the Adriatic Sea where Biograd is located. Today the town is a popular holiday resort and ferry port and a good base for cruising the Kornati Islands 12 miles SW. It also contains several old churches dating from the 11th through to the 17th century.
 +
 
 +
In addition to being a great starting point for a trip to the Kornati Islands, Biograd is also a popular meeting place for sailors who train and compete in one of Biograd’s numerous sailing events. Even in the winter racers compete from Biograd, thus making the coastal city a popular meeting point for sailors. In autumn, the Biograd Boat Show is held, Central Europe’s largest boating expo.

Transportation

Tourism

Biograd is characterised by its picturesque soft sand and pebble beaches, shaded pine forest and brilliantly coloured waters. Legend has it that God, after creating the world, dropped all of the remaining beauty from his hand in the middle of the Adriatic Sea where Biograd is located. Today the town is a popular holiday resort and ferry port and a good base for cruising the Kornati Islands 12 miles SW. It also contains several old churches dating from the 11th through to the 17th century.

In addition to being a great starting point for a trip to the Kornati Islands, Biograd is also a popular meeting place for sailors who train and compete in one of Biograd’s numerous sailing events. Even in the winter racers compete from Biograd, thus making the coastal city a popular meeting point for sailors. In autumn, the Biograd Boat Show is held, Central Europe’s largest boating expo.
