Join us for the 2027 Green and Blue-pointed autumn EBU Congress in Slovenia, staying at the magnificent 5-star Remisens Hotel Metropol in Portoroz, one of the jewels of the Istrian coast. October is a wonderful time to experience the region, with mild temperatures, vibrant seasonal colours and a relaxed coastal atmosphere providing the perfect backdrop for the event.
Set in an enviable, elevated position overlooking the Adriatic Sea and Portoroz Marina, the hotel combines elegant surroundings with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a modern wellness centre featuring saunas, whirlpools and fitness facilities. It's just a short stroll from the beach and resort centre, with easy access to the lively promenade and its waterfront cafés.
