Apr 21, 2024 · Rovinj is a picturesque town with a rich history, a stunning church tower, a lively harbour and a charming old town. Learn about its attractions, accommodation, restaurants and how to get there from Pula or other airports.
- Old Town. Rovinj was actually an island before a land reclamation project in 1763 by the Venetians. What you’ll see in the old town is a medieval tangle of tight streets and alleys that pass under archways and twist up stairways worn by centuries of footfalls.
- St. Euphemia Cathedral. The square campanile of this baroque church dominate Rovinj’s skyline and closely resembles St. Mark’s in Venice. So it’s no surprise that the 17th-century St. Euphemia was built by the Venetians, who were in control of Rovinj throughout this period.
- Lim Fjord. You can reach this strange and beautiful natural wonder by road or by tour boat from Rovinj’s port. It is described as both a fjord and a canal, but really it’s a 10 kilometre-long river canyon guarded by steep wooded mountainsides that soar to 100 metres.
- Rovinj Port. The best views (and photos for instagram) of Rovinj can be had from the city’s port. From this perspective you can see those beautiful painted houses that crowd the waterfront, and the marvellous campanile of St. Euphemia behind them.
- Stroll along the Harbor. The small harbor of Rovinj is packed with fishing boats, small ferries, and batana boats (flat-bottomed boats used by the local fishermen).
- Wander the Old Town. In my opinion, this is the best thing to do in Rovinj. These 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.
- Shop at the Farmer’s Market. Worth a quick look, this small market has vendors selling truffles, fresh fruits and vegetables, and even some souvenirs.
- Climb the Bell Tower at the 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.
