Festival of Roses

For all true lovers of the rose. In the botanical garden of the Franciscan Monastery of Kostanjevica, renowned for its famous Bourbon Rose collection, the festival dedicated to this flower returns, with a rich programme and culinary offerings on the same theme. A tribute to Nova Gorica, the city of roses.

In Nova Gorica, each year from late April all the way to the end of May, a popular festival is taking place dedicated to the flower of all flowers – the rose.

The centre of happenings is the garden of the Kostanjevica Franciscan Monastery, boasting a famous collection of antique, marvellously fragrant Bourbon roses, presenting most of their 80 known varieties. During the festival visitors can take part in expertly guided tours, exhibitions, lectures and creative rose-themed workshops. The city will surprise you with remarkable floral configurations and reward you with an amazing culinary offer, and the chance to relax surrounded by roses.

Take your time, enjoy the spring, visit Nova Gorica and choose your favourite charming experiences.
