Welcome to the Adriatic Magistral - one of the best roads in the world.

We will start the 2025 season with our annual road trip on the Adriatic coast – using the famous Magistral road to begin with.

Starting out in Opatija, we first drive South towards the Brown Beach Housel in Trogir, before continuing to Mostar with the red carpet, followed by two nights in the fantastic Regent hotel in Porto Montenegro.

Then we keep going South on our way to Tirana, for one night before heading East into a new adventure which is North Macedonia and Skopje. Afterwards, we will drive across the border to the EU into Sofia, Bulgaria for the final evening of the event.

Event schedule

We meet in Opatija at Hotel Ambasador on Saturday, the 3rd of May. You can relax from your trip today, while the team prepares your cars for the event ahead. In the evening, we will have dinner and the driver's briefing. We will have some advice to prepare you for this exciting road trip with your supercar.

The next seven days we enjoy the most stunning roads and views the Adriatic coast and the region have to offer. The Magistral, Montenegro, Red Carpet in Mostar, Albania, North Macedonia and of course Skopje..

Every day will consist of about three to four hours of driving. We will also stop for lunches, pictures, historic monuments, or just great views – and there is no shortage of those in Croatia and Montenegro.
