For travelers that still want to make sure they will experience it in the fullest - we bring you our top picks:
Local Harbor
A town of fishermen, Rovinj shows it off with a small colorful harbor packed with fishing boats, small feries and batanas - a type of a traditional flat-bottomed fishing boat specifical to Rovinj
Wander the Old Town
The absolutely best thing to do in Rovinj. The narrow, winding streets are fun to stroll and a blast to photograph. Along the way, go shopping at the small boutiques, have a coffee or a drink in one of the cafes, and search for hidden alleyways and steps down to the water’s edge.
Make sure to explore the town's most popular street, La Grisia - full of art & galleries.
Church of St. Euphemia
For the best view over Rovinj and the coast, climb the bell tower. First, it’s an uphill walk just to get to the Church of St. Euphemia, which can be very hot in the summer months. Then, it is a climb up 192 creaky steps to the top of the bell tower. But, for this view it is definitely worth it.
Punta Corrente Forest
Punta Corrente is a protected forest park, located just a 15-minute walk from the old town. Set on a small peninsula, Punta Corrente offers many walking and jogging trails, rock climbing sites, a wonderful emerald sea, and small pebbly and rocky beaches.
